There are a few different conditions that are associated with abdominal bloating.  Bloating can be caused from lack of flora, constipation, indigestion, poor eating habits or a poor functioning liver.    

Stomach bloating usually means a feeling of fullness and tightness even without consuming food. The bloated sensation can be felt in the stomach as well as the intestinal tract.
