Hi,

Bloating of abdomen like ballooning with gas after meals and sticky stool can be due to the following reasons:
Enterocolitis.
Cancer of intestine with mild obstruction.
Intestinal infection with gas producing bacteria.
Aerated drink.
Aerophagia due to anxiety and stress.
These need to be investigated by the following ways:
Stool and urine tests you have got these done.
X-ray of abdomen in standing position.
Repeat stool tests for 2 more times.
Tests of blood for thyroid and diabetes, kidney and pancreatic functions.
CT scan of abdomen if needed along with colonoscopy and biopsy.
All these will give a probable diagnosis so that an appropriate management as per the cause can be done.
Stop aerated drink.
Slow eating habits and avoidance of anxiety help.
Take plenty of oral fluids.
If there is any evidence of intestinal infection then a course of MEtronidazole and an appropriate antibiotic active against intestinal infection can help you to get relief.
Take probiotics and activated charcoal tablets.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant,
General Surgeon.
