Hi,
The commonest cause of abdominal bloating is intestinal gas...
Other causes include
* Overeating
* Lactose and other food intolerances (this maybe relevant in your case if you are allergic to apple cider- however it should
* Irritable bowel syndrome
* Constipation
* Rarely abdominal fluid collection - Ascites ; and abdominal tumors may have bloating

This means that if the bloating does not improve with common gas aids like alka seltzer, beano, maalox etc. then it is time to consult your physician...
