Can Birth Control Pills Cause Abdominal Bloating?

Hello, I ve been having tight bloating, burping , and gas. I think it s due to my birth control pills but I m not completely sure. I do take them everyday. So I was wondering is that s the reason or pregnant? It just started Friday till now. But yesterday when I had a bowl movement I was relieved just burping but when I took my pill last night I feel the same today.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

A pregnancy test can determine if you are pregnant. These tests detect HCG and can detect pregnancy by day 11 to 14 after conception.

If the test is negative then you can check for another cause.

Bloating can also be due to : (1) constipation (2) reflux (3) food or lactose intolerance (4) certain foods- cabbage, broccoli, turnips, beans, cauliflower

I hope this helps
