1. You feel bloated all the time
While, indeed, there are many foods that can make you feel bloated such as beans, it’s not normal to feel this way after eating a bowl of fresh salad. If it happens quite often, you should definitely get in touch with a gastroenterologist.
Dyspepsia and basic indigestion can cause bloating, too, so don’t panic. David Greenwald, MD, professor of medicine and gastroenterology, says that dyspepsia is completely normal, and most of us experience it from time to time. However, when compared to gastritis, dyspepsia doesn’t have abdominal pain, frequent nausea, or a burning sensation as symptoms.
People with gastritis may experience loss of appetite, too. In severe cases, gastritis can lead to blood in the stool. If you’re only bloated, it could be just dyspepsia, but it’s best to check it with your doctor.
