Symptom #5: Bloating and Abdominal Fullness
Bloating and abdominal fullness refers to a full, tight, and distended abdomen. It is a very common symptom that can be seen in most gastrointestinal disorders. Some causes of bloating include lactose intolerance, food allergy, overeating, premenstrual syndrome, aerophagia, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, menstruation, and diverticulosis.
The treatment and management of bloating depend on the underlying cause. Nevertheless, dietary modifications and certain medications may alleviate the discomfort.
