Hi thanks for contacting HCM.

Mostly bloating pain in intestine in your case may be by chronic constipation.
Causes are...
-Lack of activity
-sedentary life style
-less water
-less fiber diet less fruits

So if constipation present take fiber diet and regular exercise with more water.stool softener can also be taken.

It is better to do x ray or USG of abdomen just to be sure that there is no obstructive cause like adhesions or bends.

Chamomile in tea good herbal remedy for constipation.

Apple, banana, whole grain, wheat bran useful for constipation.

If gastritis or ulcer induce change seen in USG treated with omeprazole.

I hope your concern solved.

Take care.
