Could be serious: Most likely it is not serious ... 'bloating' and 'gas' are experienced by millions daily. The "belly button hurts" when you bend may (or may not) be serious. The navel is the site for umbilical hernias which can hurt when people bend or cough and compress the intestine in the hernia. Please have a doctor check you ... If it's only gas - try your diet again and see what happens. Peter wilk, md.
