My stomach makes me look pregnant.

Hi, sorry to hear about your tummy.

Sounds like you might be experiencing some gastrointestinal issues.

When you see your doctor again ask him to check you for SIBO.

“Symptoms of SIBO are nonspecific and include bloating, abdominal distension, abdominal pain or discomfort, diarrhea, fatigue, and weakness. The frequency and severity of symptoms likely reflect both the degree of bacterial overgrowth along with the extent of mucosal inflammation.”

Since digestive conditions mimic each other it’s hard to diagnose. But at least this is a start to your proactive search to address your problematic digestive issues.

Take care and wishing you good health.

Hi,
Thank you so much for this information. I have never heard of SIBO and I will definitely ask my doctor about this. I wonder if probiotics would help. I will wait till I see my doctor and will let you know what he says. It is so hard dealing with this because the stomach is big but then sometimes it really gets to the point where it looks and feels like I am pregnant. The stomach is big and hard. I have already gone through medopause which I did at an early age. Again I appreciate you so much!
