Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, Dr JainI'm a 19yr girl. I have been in Australian for 3 years and I'm originally from China. I have got a stomach problem when I first came. My belly always looks really big because it is always full of gas. I tried to press it and it felt like a balloon. I'm really bothered by it because I feel sick all the time and I fart frequently. Is this a stomach illness? could you give advice for me? THANK YOU, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
