Hello,

Stomach ache and abdominal bloating may be due to gastritis or food is or malobsorption syndromes with constipation.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.

Avoid lactose and gluten contain food. Eat soft diet with regular exercise. Eat green leafy vegetables and fruits. Use benefiber or metamucil fiber or peg move powder for bowel movements.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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

Take care

Regards,
