I'm taking meloxicam 7.5mg for back pain. doctor said it was ok to take half as it made me feel very tired, could this also make me bloated after meal?

Meloxicam : Gastrointestinal side effects are common with nsaids use such as meloxicam. At half the dose it may not provide the desired effect, unless one is truly "sensitive" to its effects, or there is an underlying liver or kidney impairment. Stopping the medication for a short interval to see if the bloating subsides may answer the question. A different med or co-treatment with a ppi can be tried.
