Abdominal bloating on an empty stomach may indicate certain gastrointestinal disorders, such as gastritis or cholecystitis. In cases of gastritis, patients commonly experience symptoms including loss of appetite, reduced food intake, indigestion, and a burning sensation in the stomach. In cholecystitis, patients often present with abdominal distension and pain, which typically worsens after consuming fatty foods.
