Getting severly gassy and bloated every night

[AO111]

For about a week now, around the same time every evening I start to get badly gassy and bloated and the gas doesn't move through very well. I haven't changed my diet at all so I'm not sure what could be the cause and why it happens about the same time every night.

I think it was from the candy canes I was eating at the time, maybe swallowing too much air, because when I stopped eating the candy canes the bloating and gas stopped.

Hi, hows the stool? it could be indigestion. It can also be due to viral infections or due to food intolerance like lactose. It could also be due to food staying for longer time in the stomach like gastroparesis or due to an infection with giardiasis. Try to eat earlier, give a gap of two hours before lying down and eating and exercise well. If symptoms still persist then consult your doctor. Regards.
