help my mom please

[boosty]

i know this is long, but i am in need of help and i am worried.
my mom is having some problems. she eats something little and her stomache looks like shes pregnant right after food. she eats healthy, walks cardio for an hour everyday. she is 49 years old. 120 lbs. shes 5'3 her  height. she is in pretty good shape. but she just started going to a heart doctor just to get a check up and he put her on a fish diet because of high cholestral runs in her family. she eats like five bites of fish  or anything else and her stomache ends up looking like shes 7 months pregnant . what can this be? once in a while she gets constipated. and last week she went to a pelvic ultrasound and they told her that her uterus is waaay too high up. could that all relate? could she be allergic to fish? but she gets like that no matter what she eats. she is starting to worry about cancer and tumor and stuff because of all that. any ideas? please write back. thank you

It sounds like some type of gastro-intestinal problem. Given the fact that she had a pelvic u/s last week I think that could rule out cysts or tumors. Does her belly go back to normal size after a while? maybe she should see a GI doctor. it sounds more like that then uterine problems. I am not a doctor, so I am only offering my thoughts, I am an RN and do have knowledge of the body, but only an MD can confirm anything, is she seeing someone on a regular basis for this problem

I agree.  She needs to see a GI doctor.  I have the same problem.  I have IBS.  I am pregnant now but when I wasn't there were times when I looked exactly as I do now.  I couldn't eat anything without being sick.

Less than a week after my mom's 50th birthday, she began to experience the  same problems.  She was hospitialized back and forward for approximately 3 months.  She had endless testing, blood, C-Scans, X-Rays and Pelvic Ultra sounds.  Finally the doctors concluded that it was a tumor and she needed surgery to have it removed.  The surgery was a success.  The tumor was non cancerous and weighted six pounds.
