Occasionally, stomach bloating can indicate a more serious underlying condition.
One possible cause is gastroparesis - a long-term (chronic) condition whereby the stomach cannot empty in the normal way.
Food passes through the stomach slower than usual, which proves fertile ground for bloating and other digestive complaints.
According to the NHS, it s thought to be the result of a problem with the nerves and muscles that control how the stomach empties.

If these nerves are damaged, the muscles of your stomach may not work properly and the movement of food can slow down, explains the health body.
