Why Is My Upper Stomach Bloated? 4 Causes of Abdominal Swelling

Many people complain about their upper belly, also called distended abdomen, due to the discomfort caused by it, which can even affect your daily life.

It is caused by an abdominal distention that causes bloating, usually above the belly button.

Contrary to what many people think, the upper belly isn't related to belly fat. Many times, it is a genetic thing or some kind of food intolerance.

The upper belly happens because of the abdomen's distention caused by:

Intestinal issues
Some intestinal issues also favor the occurrence of the upper belly because of inflammation in the intestinal structures.

Poor eating
Eating foods high in sugar or fat can cause upper belly because they ferment, producing gas and leading to abdominal distention.

Genetics
The upper belly can also happen because of genetics, appearing even in thin people or those who eat well or exercise regularly.

Sedentary lifestyle
The lack of physical activity can also cause the upper belly since foods are stored as fat, causing abdominal distention.

Other issues are poor digestion, malaise, and an increase in the risk of intestinal inflammation.

The way of dealing with this issue varies depending on each case.

It is also worth noting that the main treatment for the upper belly is your eating.

If none of these things works, or if your upper belly appeared suddenly, you must talk to a doctor.

Medical supervision is essential to ensure that the cause of your issue isn't some sort of condition that requires specific treatments.

I had this pain in the upper belly for a year recently. Nothing worked. Finally I got rid of fruit in my diet (especially lemons) and the pain went away. Even raw vegetables cause severe pain. Worst is nuts. Dairy, gluten, fats do not cause any pain but oats do. Honestly sometimes you have to wonder if people are just repeating the brainwash and constantly pushing it on everybody. If I just tried to eliminate citrus fruits, oats, nuts in the beginning I would not have suffered for a year but the brainwash was so strong that I just kept thinking these foods cannot cause anything negative. People just need to forget everything other people say and just do elimination diet on their own until they find the culprit(s).

♥.♥ Thanks so much.
I have previously commented on one person and suggested that he use insoluble fiber (not soluble fiber) along with plenty of water to relieve constipation and bloating. I told him to eat a kiwi with skin after lunch and dinner or after breakfast or dinner (necessarily with skin because it is rich in insoluble fiber) and be sure to drink plenty of water with it. Never consume insoluble fiber without enough water. He did this and told me that not only was his constipation relieved but his bloating was drastically reduced. So it might be a good idea to go for insoluble fiber with enough water and give it a try. If you do not like kiwi skin then you should look for another great source of insoluble fiber.
