Stomach swells after eating!

[aCakes]

My stomach swells after I eat and as the day progresses for quite awhile. I even took dairy and carbs (gluten, grains, etc.) out of my diet about 5 days ago. I have even been drinking a lot of green smoothies during those 5 days. I don't understand. It's not gas though. I have no clue what to do. I also tried water pills and probiotics.

sometimes with ibs, no matter what you eat, there is bloating. I have had it for 4 years and always bloated. Only with liquids do I not get bloated and I haven't found any remedy for it

I have an appointment but it's not for another month from now. I'm trying to rule out candida, or leaky gut, or diverticulitis. Right now I'm doing a candida cleanse and most of the major flubbery bloat is there, but my stomach still bulges a bit and it's hard, not soft like water or gas.

HI,
Swelling of the stomach after eating can be due to gas and bloating. This is induced by gastritis or hyper-acidity. A change in diet, use of bland diet and having a diet rich in fibre - fruits and vegetables and probiotics will help. Consult your Doctor.
