What causes abdominal bloating

[Naveed Yaseen]

When your belly feels bloated, uncomfortably tight and full, your doctor may refer to it as abdominal bloating.

The US National Library of Medicine offers this list of common causes:

* Swallowing air.

* Being constipated.

* Having too much gas in the bowels.

* Having lactose intolerance or other food intolerance.

* Eating too much.

* Having irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

* Having a partial bowel obstruction.

* Having too much bacteria in the bowels.

* Having, in rare cases, a tumour.
