Stomach bloating – a feeling of fullness during meals, early satiety and bloating, sometimes accompanied by nausea or queasiness, may point to a digestive disorder (dyspepsia), but it can also be a symptom of more serious conditions (peptic ulcer disease, cancer).
If the complaints do not go away within a short time (a few days), it is advisable to see a doctor.
Loss of appetite, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, aversion to food and bleeding (black stools, vomiting blood) occurring alongside bloating must always be regarded as alarm (warning) symptoms, stomach-emptying problems.
