Q: can an existing abdominal/umbilical small hernia get bigger from being bloated to having gas build up in the abdominal?

: Intra abdominal pressure from bloating is not high enough to change size of hernia, Exertion and heavy exercise can. If you do that then either have it fixed or wear an abdominal support
