Bloating Treatment in South Delhi
Bloating — a swollen, tight abdomen that worsens through the day — is one of the commonest reasons patients see Dr Paliwal, and one of the most under-investigated. It is not 'just gas'. It has a cause: how the gut moves, what bacteria live in it, what you eat, and how sensitive the bowel wall is.
Symptoms
- Visible abdominal distension by evening
- Tightness, pressure or discomfort after meals
- Excess gas, belching or flatulence
- Relief on passing stool or gas
- Often paired with constipation, loose stool or acidity
See a doctor urgently if
- Severe or worsening abdominal pain
- Vomiting blood, black stool or fresh bleeding with dizziness
- Jaundice with fever
- Unexplained weight loss, difficulty swallowing, persistent vomiting

Questions patients ask about bloating
Why do I bloat even though I eat healthy?
Healthy foods — pulses, cruciferous vegetables, apples, wheat — are high in fermentable carbohydrates that ferment in a sensitive or bacterially overloaded gut. A breath test and a supervised diet trial usually identify the trigger.
Is bloating a sign of cancer?
Rarely, but persistent new bloating after 45, with weight loss, bleeding or a lump, needs evaluation without delay.
Which test is done for bloating?
Usually a breath test first; endoscopy/colonoscopy or motility testing depending on your symptoms.
