@AaronMaklindisa Try googling for "side effects of......" (whatever drug you take). I had bloating most of my adult life-in my case I had become lactose intolerant (could no longer drink a lot of milk and eat ice cream etc...) When I cut out a lot of the dairy products my bloating went away.

I googled "what causes bloating in men" and got the following link:
