Bloating is a condition where your belly feels full and tight, often due to gas. It is a feeling that your tummy is full or stretched.
People might confuse bloating with other reasons for a more noticeable belly, such as abdominal wall laxity or looseness.
This is common, especially among older women and those who have had children.
Certain foods, including carbonated beverages, dairy, beans, cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage, can cause bloating.
