A member asked:

When my stomach is empty sometimes it gets extremely bloated and hurts to the point its hard to stand up straight...also bloating after coffee..reason?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor: Bloating is often the distention of the bowels due to gas buildup. This can be due to things we eat - like coffee. If you can pinpoint triggers then avoid these foods. As for when your stomach is empty it is unclear - talking to your doctor or a gastroenterologist would be a good idea.
