Hi, I have been feeling bloated for few months now....thinking maybe I have gain some weight! I do regular exercise, walking and riding and occasional gym work out. But it seems with each meal (now carefully portioned) I still feel full (bloated) at the end of the meal.

My stools have been sitcky and not solid.

Hi, i do care for your concern.
Your symptoms suggest of intestinal parasite, giardia.
this often cause bloating and abdominal discomfort.
I would advise to start on anti protozoal drugs along with antacid for full course of three days, which would produce better results.
If the symptoms still persist, it is advisable to get stool examination done, and alerting the drug according to it will help.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
