bloatedness

Uncomfortable abdominal fullness

Bloatedness is the state of being bloated—swollen, distended, or puffed up beyond normal size.

The word most often describes physical sensations: the bloatedness after a heavy meal, abdominal bloatedness from gas.

It can also characterize excess or inflation in abstract contexts: the bloatedness of the federal budget.

Bloating is more common in everyday speech.
