Severe stomach swelling

Posted , 4 users are following.

I am posting here on behalf of my friend. She has been to see numerous specialist but they are unsure what are causing her problems. She has severe stomach swelling throughout the day, to the point where she looks pregnant. She has put on 5+stone in less than a year. She does have pain in the area which is helped if she puts pressure on it, lying belly down on the bed, for example.  She remembers being in the gym and feeling something popping in her stomach and that is when it all started. She also suffers from diahorrea daily and has no energy. This is really getting her down so any information/advice is much appreciated.

Thank you

    Hi kelsey47566

    Your friend should go and see her doc to get an ultrasound scan ordered of her abdominal area to see what is going on..In the meantime change her diet to a very bland diet no spicey or fried greasy foods and no junk foods. Have chicken, fish, veggies, non citrus fruits...No fizzy drinks plenty of water....this may help with her diahorrea...best wishes...
