bloated abdomen

When I eat, no matter what I eat, I get an extremely bloated middle. I don't gain weight anywhere else on my body except for right in my stomach so that if I do gain weight, I always look pregnant. It even has a pointed look to it. I just don't understand why I don't gain weight anywhere else and what could be the cause of this.

From the symptoms you describe it could be a few things for example irritable bowel syndrome, but medical examination is the only way this could be diagnosed. It could also be intolerance to a common food ingrediant, some common ingrediants can cause the sort of symptoms you descrided, but once again tests at the doctor is the only way this could be verified. Are you taking any medication? (could be a side effect, people who take regular coedine can get excessive bloating). Hope this helps. Have you ever seen a doctor for this? Good luck.
