What is wrong with my stomach? (picture)

8 years ago i took antidepressive medicine for 3 weeks. From nowhere i got a swollen stomach. I dont know why this happend, it probably was a negative sideeffect.

Since then my stomach has grown, the latest year it has grown so much i really must do something about it.

I dont eat much food, 1 meal per day + 1 or 2 sandwiches, so i dont think it has something to do with the food i eat.

I dont go to the gym, i have however worked as a mailman a few years ago and during that period i still had my swollen stomach.

I have made gastro and endoscopy but nothing special was found.

I did an ultrasound last week and they told that i had alot of gases in the bowels. I dont think this is the problem either because i rarely feel gasy.

I dont have any pain, i go to the toilet 2-3 times a week to empy and everything seems normal.

I have tried to avoid gluten and lactoses for over 2 months but there was no difference.

So recently i told my doctor that i need to go to the stomach doctor because my stomach looks way to big (and he agreed). But they denided me because they already checked me in the past.

I dont know what i should do and thats why i post on this forum.

Do you have any idea what could be wrong with my stomach?

    Well i'm not a expert on male tummies, mines much worse! But then I'm on steroids which is a really good reason. 

    Sometimes when things are sudden, it is frightening. I can understand why you feel the way you do. Try gently losing a little weight and see if that makes any difference.
