Hello,
Abdominal bloating is commonly due to
Acid Reflux, GERD, Obesity or serious medical condition like liver dysfunction, heart or kidney issues, etc. You are suggested to take antacids and PPI's for relief. Take fiber rich food, stay hydrated. Avoid
constipation, take laxatives at bed time.
Avoid oily junk food,
trans fat, etc. Maintain healthy BMI. Avoid sedentary lifestyle. Weight gain is side effect of taking CP. CP may cause
hormonal changes, high levels of estrogen increases appetite and promotes fluid or water retention.
Cut on salt intake, get clinically examined by a gynae to test hormone levels, thyroid, anaemia or other health issues. Do regular walking & exercises, follow healthy lifestyle.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
