Excesive bloating

I've been having excesive bloating for a week now. It came out of no where, it's not painful but annoying. I have not been experiencing diarrhea or loose stools but my not producing healthy stools either. I did visit the doctor and he suggested I get blood work done. I'm waiting for results meanwhile having anxiety. Any suggestions as to what could be wrong? Thank you

have you taken any medication recently? Or had any diarrhea prior to this?
Without any other knowledge, I would suggest going to a health food store and picking up a probiotic (between 15-30 billion live cultures). Start taking that and see if it helps.
