meteorism[′mēd·ē·ə‚riz·əm] (medicine) Presence of abdominal gas causing severe distention. Meteorism tympanites, flatulence, distention of the abdomen as a result of excess accumulations of gas in the alimentary canal. The stomach and intestine of the healthy human normally contain about 900 cu cm of gas; this is necessary to maintain intestinal tone and peristalsis. When food with large amounts of carbohydrates is eaten (beans, brown bread, vegetables), the gas content increases considerably. Meteorism is a common symptom of many diseases, including ordinary constipation, neurosis, chronic colitis, peritonitis, and intestinal obstruction. It can result from swallowing too much air (aerophagia) or from intestinal inflammation and is manifested by a feeling of abdominal heaviness and bursting, eructation, hiccups, and torminal pains that disappear after the gases pass. Diarrhea, which gives way to constipation, is sometimes noted. Meteorism is treated by limiting the intake of those foods that tend to increase gas formation, taking regular meals, using adsorptives and laxatives, and treating the primary disease. meteorism

There are many different things that can cause them. Do you also suffer from diarrhea? Do you have diabetes? Do you have pain that is relieved by eating or after going to the bathroom?
Among the more common causes there are IBS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irritable_bowel_syndrome), diabetes, malabsorption (e.g. lactose intolerance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose_intolerance or celiac http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coeliac_disease), all of these, unfortunately, can't be diagnosed over the net, so if it keeps bothering you or if you have warning sign (such as Nocturnal abdominal pain (sleep awakening), Weight loss, Blood in the stool , Severely tender abdomen , Succussion splash , Fever , Vomiting , fatty diarrhea , New onset diarrhea) you should see a doctor.
Q. Why am I feeling so bloated all the time? I did a pregnancy test 2 weeks ago and it came out negative, i have been experiencing a bunch of symptoms that relate to pregnancy and the spotting on and off has started wondering if i should do another test and see what comes out of it..A. Home pregnancy tests are not 100% accurate. Either because their own limitations or because limitation of the use of them (e.g. testing too early, misunderstanding the instructions etc.). You may try to do the pregnancy test again and see the results now. Anyway, even if you receive positive results in the second test, it should be validated by a test performed by a doctor.
