10 Gastric Ulcer Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Bloating
Bloating is a sensation of being extremely full. Sometimes, people may experience bloating when they have indigestion, there is excessive gas production or disturbances in the movement of their digestive system (emptying of the stomach).
Bloating is an uncomfortable sensation that can be quite persistent in patients with peptic ulcers. In select cases, the outlet of the stomach may become blocked because of scarring, muscle spasms or inflammation related to an ulcer. This may cause vomiting and bloating. Patients with ulcers report feeling bloated for extended periods of time and don’t find that burping helps to relieve them of their symptoms.
