So bloated I look 6 mon Preggo....diagnosed 5 yrs ago biliary dyskensia

I'm a 26 yr old female. Slightly over weight. 5'7", 155lbs. I eat tons of veggies & lots of turkey, chicken, legumes, and olive oil, avocados, etc. I over eat sometimes because even if I eat a healthy portion of just about anything I bloat in my tummy like I'm 6 months pregnant. When I was 21 I had a hida scan with 23% infracture..I used to get gallbladder attacks more often but haven't had one in almost 1.5 yrs just severe bloating, gas and I burp a lot . Really uncomfortable. I decided against surgery since wasn't having severe pains or anything but SO SO sick of not being able to eat without blowing up. Could it be from something else? I'm not celiac been tested. At this point its hard to tell what I'm eating that's doing it b/c it seems like evrything. I get full very fast but eat he rest of my meal anyhow. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the message :) I just moved to CA and have to wait until I can get new insurance before I can really start pursuing a new doctor and seeking some more answers. I think until then I am going to really try and cut back on alot of foods so that I can test if certain things are making it worse. But you have to cut things out for like 2 weeks to really see a change I think. Have you been tested for Celiac's? I have but tested negative; I wish it had been such a simple fix answer! I don't get the nauseated feeling you are talking about just the bloat and some URQ pain and it feels hard to breath b/c my stomache is getting streched so big. I will definately keep you posted and hope to hear that your doctors find something soon. I've noticed I have to reserach ideas to help my doctors test certain things. Sad but true...

I am going through the almost the same thing.  Mine just started about 3 months ago.  My dr. told me he sees women that are 9 months prego that are not as big as I am.  With me it does not matter what I eat, I can drink a bottle of water and I get bloated.  My bloating is also accompanyied by urq (upper right quadrent) pain which eventually radiates to my back and left side.  I just had a hidascan and had a fraction rate of 87% with significant pain with the cck injection.  I also burp alot which is unusual for me.  Dont know where you live, but I live in Washington State and the doctors here are at a loss.  No one knows what is wrong with me.  I have gone in the oppisite in the sense that I quit eating except for about once a day in the morning because as soon as I eat I get bloated and nauseated.  If you get any answers please update me.  and I will do the same for you.
