Generally the tight feeling of the abdominal cavity associated with bloating is only a temporary feeling. Often following on the heels of an overindulgence in food or drink, most anyone is familiar with the sudden hardness of the abdomen that seeks relief by either expelling gasses via the anus or excessive air via the via.

Of course, although these are benign yet frequent causes of most incidents of bloating, there are also some digestive system disorders that cause bloating. Take for example food allergies which are usually associated with the ingestion of proteins. Not many adults know that they might suffer from them and thus certain foods might in a way sneak up on them and cause surprise incidents of bloating as well as other symptoms such a diarrhea or constipation. At issue might be peanuts, eggs, milk or shellfish.
