Hi @arlenemh, a distended stomach is one of those symptoms that can be a sign of a variety of different issues from gastrointestinal to gynecological to other issues. I moved your message to this existing discussion where other members have received several suggestions for a distended stomach. See here:

You taken the first right step by making an appointment with your doctor to get to the bottom of your dual symptoms of distended abdomen and difficulty walking. Between now and your appointment, I would take notes of when these symptoms feel worse and what you were doing or eating at the time that may have triggered the symptoms.
