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.
The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
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.
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
