Every night around 9pm my stomach balloons out and causes me great discomfort. It prevents me from sleeping, often as late as 3am, and whilst lying in bed I have terrible wind. This has been the case for roughly the last 8months.

It's not very nice for my partner as he has to put up with my passing wind, however, if I don't allow it to pass, then my stomach continues to be bloated and uncomfortable.

My diet consists of foods such as pasta, fish, pizza, fruit, chicken and sandwiches. I drink plenty of liquids.

I drink alcohol usually twice a week.

And I empty my bowls usually around twice a week.

Please help!
