A member asked:

Can stress cause major bloating? im constantly bloated no matter what. doctor said its 'ibs and stress'. how cant i be stressed when im this bloated..

Possible: usually caused by involuntary gulping of air; however, many gastrointestinal issues ( gastritis/gallbladder) can also cause bloating, belching and flatulence.
