What Is Bloating

Since we are going to be discussing the issue of bloating here, I think it is important to start with a definition. That way we will all be on the same page. So what is bloating?

Wikipedia lists the following definition:

"Bloating is any abnormal general swelling, or increase in diameter of the abdominal area. As a symptom, the patient feels a full and tight abdomen, which may cause abdominal pain sometimes accompanied by borborygmus."

If you are like me, you may be wondering what in the heck is borborygmus. When I looked it up, I found out it is stomach growling or rumbling.

So if you have been experiencing any of these types of symptom, you have come to the right place.
