Bloating: A Review

Abstract

Bloating is a disorder which affects all classes of people. But a recent survey by the World Health Organization revealed that bloating is majorly found in women in comparison with men and children. The major problem faced by patients is the lack of awareness to delineate the conditions occurring in patient’s stomach. This paper garners about the features, symptoms and remedies for bloating.
