Symptoms The most common symptoms associated with bloating is a sensation that the abdomen is full or distended. Rarely, bloating may be painful or cause shortness of breath. Overeating Gastric distension Lactose intolerance, fructose intolerance and other food intolerances Premenstrual Syndrome Food allergy Aerophagia (air swallowing, a nervous habit) Irritable bowel syndrome Celiac disease Non-celiac gluten sensitivity Partial bowel obstruction Gastric dumping syndrome or rapid gastric emptying Gas-producing foods Constipation Visceral fat Splenic-flexure syndrome Menstruation, dysmenorrhea Polycystic ovary syndrome and ovarian cysts Alvarez' syndrome, bloating of unknown or psychogenic origin without excess of gas in the digestive tract Massive infestation with intestinal parasites (e.g., Ascaris lumbricoides) Diverticulosis Certain medications, such as phentermine Occurs in some due to salivary hypersecretion and dehydration. Ovarian cancer Every person produces gases in his body during the digestion of food, such as : methane, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. And some of them are released outside the body, sometimes in small quantities that he himself does not notice and sometimes in larger quantities that may affect the normal course of life. Heartburn and acid reflux Painful burning sensations in the chest that is caused by gastroesophageal reflux is known as heartburn. Reflux is the back flow of gastric acid juices from the stomach into the oesophagus. Heartburn has different triggers, including certain foods, medications, obesity, and stress. These triggers are different for each individual. Gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD is a chronic condition that can lead to more serious complications like esophageal cancer. Treatment options are available to treat the symptoms and the condition, but there is no cure for the disease. Symptoms include burping, abdominal and stomach bloating, along with pain and discomfort. Heavy meals, lying down or bending over after eating should be avoided to help prevent reflux from occurring. The stomach bloating experienced with reflux is intense and will remain until the food is digested all the way. Related conditions Conditions that are related to bloating include constipation, lactose intolerance, and acid reflux disease. All of these conditions share the same symptoms and can share the same causative agents. These causes include unhealthy diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, low amount of exercise, and overall health. Each of these conditions can be experienced as a symptom of the others and is also a cause for each of them. In most cases where one of the conditions is present, there is at least one if not two of the others. Treatment for each condition is performed using the same medications and recommended dietary changes like increased fiber intake and reduced fat intake. If the conditions develop into disease such as gastroesophageal reflux disease or chronic constipation, additional medications will be required. Bloating and flatulence are sometimes related to constipation, and treating the underlying condition may be helpful.Belching Bloating and Flatulence American College of Gastroenterology. Retrieved on 2010-01-26 Treatment There are many over-the-counter (OTC) medications that can be used to treat bloating. Food enzymes can be found in some products that will help break down the sugars found in grains, vegetables and dairy products. They can be taken before food is consumed or added to the food that causes the gas and bloating. The most common treatment is antacids. These medications have no effect on the gas that is presently in the intestines , but enable gas build-up to be belched away more easily, reducing the amount of bloating that develops. Another treatment is Simethicone, an oral anti-foaming agent that helps the body to expel the gas more quickly. Also combinations of prokinetics, such as domperidone + metoclopramide + diphenhydramine (the latter for the prevention of extrapyramidal reactions, especially acute dystonic reactions) + proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), have dramatic effects on bloaters and belchers especially.
