Bloating to my understanding, is the condition where my belly feels full and tight, often due to gas. There are sometimes my stomach (belly) feels uncomfortable it would either look full, tight, or swollen which often happens due to excess accumulation of gas in the fluid retention of the gastrointestinal tract.

Based on the symptoms of bloating it is very easy for one to identify bloating the common symptoms of bloating are;

• Excessive burping or gas
• Feeling of tightness or heaviness
• A visibly distended abdomen
• Abdominal discomfort and others.

Write some causes of bloating.

Some of the causes of bloating are;

• Dietary Factors: When a person consumes foods that produce excess gas like for example food such as carbonated drinks, broccoli, and beans, etc he or she is likely to experience bloating.

• Swallowing air: It is not good for us to be eating too quickly (fast) or chewing gum, because by doing so it can cause us to have bloating.

• Digestive Issues: Conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome lactose intolerance or constipation can cause bloating.

• Food intolerances: Diary gluten and other sensitivities can cause bloating

The best thing that we can do if bloating persists or it is accompanied by severe symptoms like weight loss, change in bowel habits, or significant pain, is advisable we see a doctor for immediate response and treatment.
