What Causes Upper Stomach Pain With Constant Bloating?

I always get upper stomach pains, which is sometimes accompanied with gas buildup in my stomach. Also, my stomach gets so bloated. Even when I eat a portioned and balanced meal, I ll feel good afterwards, but after a couple hours, the bloating starts (most of the time along with the upper stomach pain) and my belly swells up so much. It makes me extremely self conscious, and I m never comfortable due to this pain. I d also like to point out that when I ve slept for so few hours at night, this pain begins almost immediately after I get up. What can I do to prevent all this from happening to me, I can t stand myself anymore.

Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Some reasons that you feel bloating can be:
-Indigestion
-Lactose intolerance
-giardiasis
-Hello. pylori infection etc
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Avoid chewing gum.
-Limit your intake of carbonated drinks.
-Avoid foods that cause gas, such vegetables in the cabbage family, dried beans, and lentils.
-Eat slowly and avoid drinking through a straw.
-Use lactose-free dairy products (if you are lactose intolerant).
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
