Hi,
Well, it can be due to excessive gas formation. However, if you can experience any lump like sensation then you need to get checked by getting a sonography done.
So, for now, you can start taking Simethicone syrup twice a day as it will help in reducing excessive gas formation and discomfort.
Activated charcoal pills can be helpful. Drink sufficient water. Chew your food slowly and properly.
Avoid spicy and irritant foods and heavy meals and eat small portions of food every 2 hours.
In case if there is no improvement consult an Emergency room or a Physician and get yourself checked. A sonography can be done as an initial investigation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
