What should I do if I am a woman over 40 and have bloating?

If you have made dietary changes to improve bloating or are not menstruating and have continued bloating, contact your gynecologist. They will rule out the possibility that your ovaries are involved and will send you to a gastroenterologist who can look for colon cancer. Be especially vigilant if you have a family history of the disease. Be on the lookout for other symptoms such as blood in your stool or severe cramping that lasts for a few day
