A member asked:
What is the definition of a hard and bloated stomach or upper abdominal? and does it affect gastroenteritis patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bloated stomach: Your question is kind of vague, you have to explain more or call in our consult service, Upper abdominal mostly refers to problem above the belly button involves stomach, duodenum, small intestine, gall bladder areas. Gastroenteritis means inflammation or infection in the stomach and small intestine that can cause bloating in the upper abdomen. Hope it helps.
