What Causes Stomach Bloating With Gas?
Yes thank you, For the last month I have had a swollen stomach and abdomen with gas. Sometimes it is painful to the touch. I have had constipation and now am having frequent gassy bowel movements with stringy stools. I have been taking pain meds for 2 years but these symptoms just started a month ago.

Hello,
1) Your symptoms suggests possibility of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). This is disease of indigestion in which patient have either constipation or diarrhea or both. Stimulating factor for development of symptoms are ingestion of particular type of food for which digestive system is not capable to digest it.
2) You can take intestinal digestive enzyme supplementation as a treatment to improve digestion. Also you should avoid particular type of food after which you are developing such symptoms and this may vary from person to person.
