See PCP: May be simply the foods you're eating or beverages you're drinking (gas-forming foods like cabbage, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower; beans; dairy products if you lack lactase enzyme to break down milk sugar; carbonated drinks; alcohol) or may suggest acid reflux ds or even peptic ulcer. Doc can examine u, try meds or get tests to find cause.

What you eat is: The chief cause, dyspeptic gastric issues and gall bladder, even pregnancy would be much higher than remote risk of cancer.
