What do you understand by bloating?

Source

To my understanding, Bloating means the feeling of fullness, swelling, or tightness in the abdomen, which is accompanied by pain or discomfort. Bloating happens when the gastrointestinal tract becomes filled with air or gas, which can result from several factors such as; Overeating, gas buildup, digestive issues, food intolerance, hormonal changes and many other various factors.

Distended belly, passing gas, burping, and most time mid to severe discomfort etc are the common symptoms associated with bloating.
