What Causes Severe Abdominal Discomfort And Bloating?

Good evening! For the past couple of months, I have had a noticed a my abdomen seems distended, and it is made worse and uncomfortable especially after eating (foods do not make a difference, even with a small snack). When I have not eaten, my stomach area stays bloated an uncomfortable. I am having healthy and regular bowel movements. No matter how I change my diet, eating habits or exercising habits, the condition does not go away. Around the same time I noticed/started feeling what is previously described, my dermatologist changed my birth control pills (to see if it helped with adult acne) from what my OBgyn had me taking for many years...could that be a cause of my symptoms?

Hello,

The symptoms can be related to side effects of birth control pills.

I suggest to consult your doctor about an alternative treatment.

Meanwhile,I suggest using Simethicone medication three times a day to relieve the bloating.

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