Gastroenterologist: I would consider a diagnosis of gluten or lactose intolerance to explain your frequent abdominal bloating. However, if it's simple gas buildup from gassy foods, take simethicone 1/2 your after meals to prevent gas buildup. Drinking hot water helps break gas down and also relieves bloating. See a gastroenterologist if symptoms persist.
