Bloating and irritation around the belly button is often due to gaseous distention of the abdomen.
Here is what you should do

1. Add more dietary fiber in the form of green leafy vegetables
2. Avoid milk and milk products
3. Walk daily for about 20 to 25 min
4. Avoid gas forming food like peanuts, ground nuts, aerated drinks, etc
5. Tab omeprazole with domperidone will give good symptomatic relief
