Dr. Rebecca Gliksman answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Abd bloating: What happens after your eat? Pain or bloating or discomfort? Are BMs normal? How often ? is there straining? Do you have pain anywhere? Could be diverticulitis if pain, or colitis, though usually BM relieves the discomfort, may have H pylori, or food intolerance or even ovarian pathology-F/U with GI
