Having a bloated belly is a common symptom for most people. When the condition is not serious or abnormal, you will feel bloating or heaviness in your stomach during a festive season or after a fun weekend. Then, a simple antacid tablet can cure your condition. But, for some unfortunate people, bloating is a lot more serious and can cause sleep apnea and extreme discomfort. For several years I suffered from a bloated belly. No matter what I ate, my stomach would be filled with uncomfortable gas that made it hard to focus on any work. It almost feels like your stomach is cramping up. At the rate of sounding like I am exaggerating, let me tell you that I would have flatulence and bloating even when I drank too much water. There were days when all I could eat was a bunch of grapes. After a certain point, it seemed like I was destined to eat just one type of food. So, in a desperate attempt to find some relief, I started studying about this condition. That is when I realized how difficult this condition is actually to diagnose and treat. The causes for bloated stomach are so many that diagnosis itself is quite a challenge. Sometimes, a bloated stomach could a symptom of some other condition. Then, the treatment process takes a whole new angle. Bloating can also make you look different. If you are reading this book, you are probably suffering from a bloated stomach or know someone who suffers from it. You may have noticed how the stomach actually extends out at certain times of the day or after certain activities. Some women also say that they look three months pregnant. The result of this is that bloated stomach can cause a lot of embarrassment. When you have to go out with your friends, you need to be really cautious about what you eat. While this picky eating itself makes you the centre of attention, you definitely do not want anything else to trigger the actual condition. The flatulence and also the appearance of the stomach itself makes you want to stay all by yourself before something humiliating happens.
