Can Xarelto cause abdominal bloating and gas

I have been taking Xarelto for about 6 weeks and as a result I have a bloated, distended stomach with lots of gas and discomfort.
Is this a common side effect?

I've heard it from one or two others. You're taking it with a full meal, right?

Yes after the evening meal. Maybe I should take it before the meal.

I've tried Xarelto, Savaysa and Pradaxa. I experienced stomach and bowels discomfort with both Savaysa and Xarelto, and some benign anal bleeding.
I was always fine with Pradaxa.
I wonder if it can be linked to the fact they're both 1 dose a day, Pradaxa being 2/day (like Eliquis I'll ask to try next time I've to take an OAC).

Everyone has a dog, it's just sitting in the background of your mind waiting patiently for you to see how good life can be with a companion who never judges, loves you unconditionally, provides endless entertainment, lowers our stress levels, and hitches their wagon to ours for life. grinning smiley
