Bloating is one of the insignificant signs of serious disease but could be a common problem of indigestion. Abdominal bloating can also be due to a stressful lifestyle, dehydration and of course overeating as the most common cause. Further problems like constipation and indigestion can also cause bloating as well as gut inflammation due to bowel bacteria. In such cases, you need to identify the foods that could be causing your bloating and avoid them entirely. Eating foods like prebiotics and probiotics that introduce or increase good bacteria in your gut could considerably help with gut inflammation.
In more serious cases a bloated stomach could indicate dumping syndrome, ovarian cancer and celiac disease. Frequent bloating with reflux and abdominal pain and irregular bowels could also be a possibility of stomach cancer. While there is no need to be alarmed as such symptoms can also indicate a common stomach inflammation, still it never hurts to get a checkup and see a gastroenterologist.
