10 Symptoms of Peritonitis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Bloating
After a big meal, it is quite normal to feel bloated. Our stomachs can only take so much food and it takes a while for what we eat to be digested. The digestion process will also produce gases, which can add to the bloating further. Usually, though, it is only a matter of time before the food is processed and the bloating subsides.
If you are suffering from bloating that will not go away, it could be a sign that you have peritonitis. If such symptoms do persist, you should arrange to speak with a doctor to find out what the cause is. They may be able to prescribe something to ease the symptoms and hopefully deal with whatever is causing the problem.
