Many conditions can cause bloating, majority of which being digestive related to upper gi digestion, other times constipation is a common culprit. Keep a log of your symptoms if becoming chronic to include type of food and bowel movements.

No.: While severe abdominal distention could most certainly aggravate the SYMPTOMS of a hiatal hernia or even a ventral abdominal wall hernia, it does not CAUSE herniation.
