Stomach ache after eating pretzels

Options
I don't have any dietary restrictions or allergies that I know of...but often when I eat pretzels I get extremely bloated and have pain in my stomach. Could this be a potential gluten allergy or something else?

    Possibly all the salt on the pretzels. I have felt sick from it before when I ate too many pretzels.

    Dough pretzels or cracker pretzels? I suspect the salt first too. Easy way to find out. Eat half your usual amount with the salt scraped off. See if you get the same feeling.

    None of us would be able to even remotely tell you if there's something going on with your body and pretzels. Usually if I have an adverse reaction to a food I just avoid that food or go see a doctor.

    Popcorn does this to me. I made it a point to have lots of water when eating popcorn and the discomfort subsided.
