In 4 weeks I look 5 months Pregnant

In 4 weeks I look 5 months Pregnant

Please Help... In 4 weeks I have gained 30 pounds and when you look at my stomache I have that hard basketball pregnant look.  (I'm a mom of three and it feels exactly the same)

I have my tubes tied, the lining of my uterius has been removed by laser,

I have been to my GYN who did an internal ultrasound and a pregnancy test...both were fine.(He was stumped)  
I went to my pain Doc since I have been on meds for depression, anxiety, coiled brain anerysium headache pain, and bulging disks.  He gave me a Liver Toxicity test and it was fine. (He was Stump)
I went to my General Dr, since she has known me for so long she only knows me to be 100 lbs. She gave me a CT scan....  Everyone is stumped.  By appearence it's not a fat stomach and I don't know what brought it on so suddenly.

Sorry to go on and on, however with the way my Drs have reacted, I feel like I'm in the company of the man having a baby and the mom having 8 babies!!

Please, if you have any ideas....

So much appreciation for reading this,

Linda

You might have some food sensitivities or allergies, a bacterial overgrowth or even get checked for celiac.  Good luck.

I had a similar situation when I was taking some particular medications, I gained 40 pounds in a year, bloated up something awful, I was miserable.  No one knew what was wrong.  So, I thought about my medications, which I take a few similar to you, and the side effects on them suggested they had done the damage, so I had my doc switch to different kinds I had been on before, and I returned to normal in just a few months.  So, you and your doc should review all your meds and consider changing them.  The two that goofed me up were Lexapro and Ativan.  I now take Zoloft and Klonopin instead.  But other meds can cause a person to bloat up, too.

"Ascites" (fluid retention in the abdomen) is infamous for causing the pregnant belly look but that usually comes from a sick liver or pancreas. If your doctor did a iver panel and all looks well, then probably not though. Just wanted to give you one more thing to Google! Best of luck.
