Q: Stomach bloating and pressure
asked by: southernboy on January 27th, 2009

From the time I get something to drink and eat breakfast in the morning until I go to be at night my stomach is bloated and I feel pressure all the time. My lower stomach and right below my waist line is swollen. My upper abdomen is also swollen. Now I have taking anti acids and anti bloating pills and they do not work. Should I go see a GI Doctor right away? Is there anything I can do for this myself?

Abdominal bloating for 1–2 weeks is usually due to a diet or eating habits, but, abdominal bloating with abdominal pain for longer period needs medical attention.
It is a main complain along with abdominal pain and changed form and frequency of bowel movements, in condition known as irritable bowel syndrome.
Also, you may have lactose intolerance, not having enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose in milk products.
Symptoms begin about 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating or drinking foods containing lactose, like nausea, cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
Some foods causes larger amounts of gas to be produced when the food is digested.
Eat smaller meals slowly, cause fast eating leads to swallowing air that gives the feeling of abdominal bloating.
