Does Severe Abdominal Bloating At Night Require Immediate Medical Attention?

I have a friend whose stomach severely bloats every night. She has tried the gluten free diet amongst other. This has been going on for years. It looks as if she were pregnant, it is that severe. Where can she start?
He primary care has not been much help.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Bloating of abdomen may be due to acute gastritis or Peptic ulcer disease or infections or malobsorption syndromes or food intolerance or irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week before. Use probiotics twice a day for five days. Use tablet normaxin twice a day for five days. Avoid gluten and lactose contain food. If symptoms not improved please consult your gastroentrologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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