ok, got a question I thought I might pose here - hoping someone can come along with a possible explanation and/or experience...

Since I de-toxed off the narcotics, my belly has been swollen to the degree that if I took a pin to it, it could pop. All else is ok, regular bm's, had a UTI, and an intestinal infection took Flagyl and Cipro, but this was back in June, as time goes on, my abdomen continues to be very swollen, got a CT scan done, negative - ok -yay!

My question, after what I've descrobed here, has anything even similar happened to anyone here? I've heard that one's body can really act up when it's not getting its drug, but is it permanent? And can the abdomen really be affected or should I just pass it off as extreme stress - since I think I've hit my limit of human stress.

Thanks for any input it would be very much appreciated.
