What Is Gas and Bloating?

Occasional gas and bloating are normal, but when these symptoms become frequent, painful, or disruptive, they may signal an underlying gastrointestinal issue. At Elite Digestive Health, we understand how frustrating and uncomfortable chronic bloating or gas can be.

Whether your symptoms appear after meals, fluctuate throughout the day, or have been labeled “just IBS,” we’re here to help. Led by Dr. Benjamin Basseri, widely regarded as the best doctor for gas and bloating in Los Angeles, our Beverly Hills clinic provides advanced diagnostics to help you stop guessing and start healing.

Common Conditions That Cause Gas and Bloating

Gas and bloating can stem from several GI conditions. Our goal is to identify the real cause and guide you toward lasting relief:

  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
  • Food intolerances (e.g., lactose, fructose, gluten)
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Delayed gastric emptying or slow motility
  • Celiac disease
  • Constipation-related distention
  • Acid reflux and upper GI dysfunction
We combine modern diagnostic tools with clinical expertise to bring clarity to your gut health story.

When You Should Consider a GI Evaluation for Bloating or Gas

As the best doctor for bloating/gas in Los Angeles, Dr. Basseri specializes in diagnosing complex gut conditions that often go undetected in general medical settings.

Persistent bloating and excessive gas can be a sign of conditions that go far beyond simple indigestion. You may want to seek expert GI evaluation if you:
Feel constantly bloated or distended, even without eating large meals
Experience gassiness that interferes with daily activities or social life
Alternate between constipation and diarrhea
Wake up feeling fine, but experience worsening bloating throughout the day
Have been diagnosed with IBS, but don’t feel better with traditional treatments
Notice worsening symptoms after specific foods
Live with abdominal discomfort that hasn’t improved with diet changes
