Symptom #8: Bloating
Bloating occurs when the gastrointestinal tract is filled with excessive gas or air. It is a nonspecific and common symptom that is often observed in indigestion, after overeating, and during pregnancy. Patients feel tight, full, or swollen in the abdomen, and the abdomen feels hard, distended, and painful.
A bloated abdomen is often associated with frequent belching, pain, abdominal rumblings, and flatulence. Bloating is associated with Giardiasis (a parasitic infection).
