What Causes Upper Abdominal Bloating?
I feel blotted in my upper abdomen at the bottom of my ribcage. There is no pain when you push in that area I just feel like someone stuffed something in there. I have been feeling that way for over a week. I am not going #2 daily and am not sure if that might be why.

Hello,
Yes, if you have some degree of constipation it can cause a feeling of bloating. Try adding some fiber to your diet and making sure you are eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Drinking plenty of water is helpful as is regular exercise. Also pay attention to foods you are eating some foods like beans, broccoli and dairy tend to cause more bloating than others.
