I have had this for awhile, but it seems to be getting worse. Several years ago, I noticed that after I eat certain foods, my stomach will swell... I mean really swell, to where I look pregnant. Now its like that after I eat ANYTHING! I am ok if I eat very small frequent meals, which I don't always do. When I say stomach, I mean up high in the obdomen, not the lower part (colon). Do you know how it feels when you've eaten an extremely large meal? Like at Thanksgiving? And your're really uncomfortable and can't breathe well? I am like that pretty much ALL the time. Is this IBS? I started to post there first but came here instead. I really don't have pain or anything like that, but some gas... Please give me some suggestions.. I am going for a check up next week, but would really like to talk to someone who is like this>>> Thanks, Cindy
