You must go on a quest to find a good doctor. They probably can help but choose not to. See, some doctors aren't very nice and know they can help but are too lazy and get paid a ton for it too. Bloating can be normal around the time of your period (if you are a female). Also bloating can be from pregnancy but if it goes away and you have no other symptoms of pregnancy then i doubt it is pregnancy. Good luck on your quest!

I have the same problem. I suggest you see more doctors until one helps you. You have to examine the food you eat. Are you lactose intolerant? Do you drink sodas?

There are many possibilities, even a virus living in you intestines. Find help, feel beter.

I had a similar problem. I would bloat after eating yogurt or sour cream. I would stay bloated and uncomfortable the rest of the day. The next morning I would be fine. I finally gave up these foods. After about 5 years I tried them again and the symptoms did not return. This makes me think that there was something in my intestines or stomach that reacted with the yogurt or sour cream. After a number of years, what ever it was, was gone. Even after I narrowed it down to the yogurt and sour cream, my doctors were unable to help other than to say avoid those foods.

Start a food diary. Write down everything you eat and the times. Write down the times you start to bloat. Look for a pattern. If you can find something to eat that doesn't cause you to bloat, perhaps eggs or grilled chicken, eat only that for a couple of days and then start adding other foods, one at a time. Note the reaction. The bloating may not happen immediately. It may be something you ate several hours earlier.

Initially make sure to avoid all processed foods like yogurt, cheese, butter and packaged foods like pop tarts or microwave dinners, donuts, cookies, prepared sauces etc. I recommend starting with "clean" protein. For instance, hard or soft boiled eggs. Or get some plain chicken (without any infusion of liquid to flavor or tenderize it) and broil it plain.

It will be boring to eat for a few days but this is a short term plan to identify what exactly is causing the problem. Then you can avoid it or try to find a doc who can help you with something to solve the problem. However, if you have done this sort of research first the odds that the doc will be able to help you will have gone up a lot.

At the worst it will be a boring diet for a while but you may end up just finding some foods that you can't eat without bloating.
