What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Excessive Weight Gain?
I m 56 years old and in good health for my age, I have noticed I have put on some weight recently, but my stomach is bloated or distented all the time, even more when I eat of course, it doesn t matter the food, currently I have fasted for two days and I m still bloated, I also haven t eaten bread for two weeks to see if it s a gluton intolerance. What do you think? Thanks.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to gastritis. This can cause bloating increased hunger and weight gain. Taking proton pump inhibitors like esomeprazole ( Nexium ) for long term will be helpful to clear this. If that is not helping then motility enhancers like domperidone will be helpful also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
