What Could Cause Bloating, Tender Stomach, Gassy And Burping?

My stomach is giving me trouble. For a month or so my upper abdomen feels bloated and tender. If I focus on it, it seems to get worse. My stomach feels bloated and tender and I am worried.
I have stomach complaints before. I had an ultra sound a year ago and I was fine. Had the scope from both end this summer and was fine. I am 42, male and not over weight. What could be causing this? I tend to instantly worry about cancer. Oh, sorry, I am gassy feeling as well. I am burping more so now. Help please!

Sorry, I was given an anti acid and it doesn't seem to help. I just got an ultra sound and I am worried about the results. I am scared it will be something like cancer.

Hi
Most likely it's due to disturbed intestinal bacterial l flora.intestine consists of micro organism called gut flora.They contain good bacterias which help in proper digestion of food.Once these good bacteria's are many of G.I symptoms like bloating belching vomiting loose stools etc can be there.
i would suggest you to take any OTC probiotic for few days. They will restore bacterias Once the flora is replenished intestinal motility and secretions will be improved. Tablet neksium(40mg once daily before breakfast) can be taken along with it to provide relief.Drink a lot of fluid and electrolytes to replenish the level in blood as sodium and potassium is lost in vomiting and loose motions.

Eat a lot of fiber in diet 30-40 gram per day.

Drink a lot of orange juice and coconut water.
