I feel so bloated and my stomach looks swelled like I'm pregnant, I can't stand feeling this way. My medical conditions are: asthma, interstitial cystitis, hiatal hernia, and esophogus erosion.

Well Sunshine, that is were I started out. With bloating and my condition has gotten worse over the last year. What do you think is wrong? Because our bodys will tell us where the problem is, but it's getting a Doctor to listen to what your saying you think it might be.

Im still waiting for an answer to what is wrong with me! So far I have been treated for over four things. Each of which are not the sorce of my pains and bloating. I have been telling my Doctor for over a year now that I believe the answer lies in my stomach. But of course's I was over ruled and now cannot hold down a meal, let alone water for fulids in general.

Well good luck to you, remember your in controll of your body not any one else. If you think you know where to start looking speak up. I wish I would of been more agressive. Celina14207

Hi Sunshine,

I can't say for sure if this is what's happening to you or not, but many of us with IC feel bloated and look a bit pregnant. We call it the "IC belly". Check with your doctor if you are very uncomfotable/concerned.

Feel better,
Inq
