severe stomach bloating

I think you need to go back to the doctor’s. it happens often that a problem may not be visible at the beginning or at first visit, but if it progresses, it may become visible and easier to diagnose.
It is important that you undergo a full physical exam, including pelvis and rectum. These tests should be guideline to any subsequent tests.
You may undergo another ultrasound or whatever your physician finds necessary.

Your abdominal swelling could be due to problems with your ovaries, like cysts, or even uterine fibroids that often cause lower abdominal swelling. These fibroids grow in the uterine wall and are benign growths and besides the swelling could be causing pain after intercourse as well as bleeding between periods and abdominal pain. They are most common in women of childbearing age. It is these fibroids that make a woman look pregnant.

Of course, there are many other possible reasons that could be making your stomach swell, including IBS, appendicitis, abdominal masses, ovarian masses and this is why you should get a full physical exam.

or celiac diease which is confused with IBS

Or it could be candida. Candida can travel throughout the body and to different organs, i.e., intestines, liver, lungs, mouth, etc. If you have Candida you need to stay on a very strict diet for quite some time. No sugar, no yeast, etc. Research on internet. It can be very serious depending on how long you have had it.

If you have pets in your household, it could also be worms. Or bacteria in the stomach or intestines. I hope that helps. Good luck!!

hi i also have the same problem i suffer with underactive thyroid fibromylalgia and ibs but still have the problem bloating i have finally got them to listen and am going for a scan it is so uncomfortable anything i put in my mouth causes me to bloat food diarys done blood tests done but no answers yet good luck i hope they find the reason for you and me

MY SOLUTION!  I swore if I got to the bottom of my problem I would post it on every website I checked where people had the same symptoms, I hope this helps you!!!!:

I had the same problem for about a year; bloating to the point of looking VERY pregnant, bowel discomfort, irregular bowel movements etc.  Bloating got worse throughout the day.  I was tested for parasites: tests negative.  Doc put me on Flagyl...TWICE... with no results.  Got barium tests, pelvic ultrasound, and a few others, all results said I was TOTALLY normal and healthy.

*I am 28 years old, 125 pounds, a marathon runner, yoga teacher, on a clean diet of fruits, veggies, and lean proteins,no fast food, and in otherwise great physical shape just for reference, so I knew it was likely not something I was eating or drinking that was doing this**

Started doing my own research after extreme frustration and thinking "ok, I cant live like this forever, there has to be something that can change this!"

Also, I realize this is the internet so its hard to know if someone is selling you something, so again, for reference, I teacher yoga and work at a non-profit and am not selling this stuff.

I found this stuff called Paragon (parasite remover/intestinal microbe balance) made by  Renew Life, and it made my symptoms DISSAPEAR after 3 days.  Like, a years worth of bloating GONE in 3 days.  I will tell you I did a juice fast for 3 days before starting Paragone (was going the fast on my own to see if it would help, so not sure if that had something to do with it too).  About a week after I finished the Paragon, my symptoms came back, so I got more, and they went away again.  Basically, I've been consistently taking it for about 3 months(not sure if this is recommended or not, but its THE ONLY THING that keeps the bloating away...plus its just herbs, so it cant be too bad) and my symptoms are gone totally.

Try it out, I got mine at Vitamin Shoppe, but I think they sell it other places.  I'm sure there are other brands of this same type of stuff, this is just the one that worked for me.  I hope this helps someone out there! 

PS: my husband has crohns disease, and he was having the same bloating etc and he used this as well, didn't help his crohns, but took away the bloating, and didn't affect his crohns negatively, so I'm assuming its safe and could even help if you have IBD or something of that nature.
