I've had a problem for a few years with gas bloat in my stomach. Usually it happens after I eat, but not all the time. Tonight I had mexican food and about an hour after I got back home I started to bloat just below the ribs. It's finally subsiding now, but it was REALLY painful, so much that it bent me double when I tried to stand straight. It happens when I drink soda as well (which gives me painful hicups on top of that).
Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing this and why the gas isn't being let out quicker? I also have trouble with burping, I can feel the gas come up but then it just stops. Any help would be much apreciated!

I would see your doctor or goto a walk in clinic and see what they say just to make sure. Try taking Pepto Bismol? Or and anti-acid works too...like tums..or something similar...hope i helped!

I've included a couple of websites for you to look at to see if any of the symptoms apply. If they do, you need to go and see your doctor as there are various things that can be done to make you feel more comfortable, including slightly amending your diet. It is a very uncomfortable thing to have so the sooner you get it checked out the sooner you will feel better. Another possibility is lactose intolerance. Lactose is included in many different foods, some that seem unlikely choices for it. Again you need to see a doctor to get this checked out.
