What could be the root cause for bloated stomach after having food?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You are reporting to have bloating after eating, especially lunch.

In my opinion you should get an upper endoscopy and abdominal ultrasound. In the meantime, I would suggest to use PPI - proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec (Omeprazole).
