Bloating could signal cancer, but not always (Image: Getty) Health experts are warning people to watch out for bloating. According to Cancer Research UK , if you have bloating - alongside a number of other symptoms - it could be an early warning sign of stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer. This is when abnormal cells in the stomach start to grow and divide in an uncontrolled way.

Each year in the UK, around 6,500 people are diagnosed with it and whilst anyone can get it, stomach cancer is more common in older people, with around 50 percent of cases occuring in people aged 75 or over. The cancer experts state: "Many stomach cancers are linked to lifestyle or environmental factors, including diet. Stomach cancer is linked with a bacteria that lives in the stomach called Helicobacter pylori (H.



pylori). But not everyone with H.pylori will develop stomach cancer.
