i have this really weird bloated stomach which makes me look like i am about 5 months pregnant(and i am DEFINATELY not). because i am only 14 i am starting to get some weird looks in the street when it happens-one person shouted abuse in my face about it!!. It isnt there all the time, and just randomly comes....does anyone have an idea what it would be?
ncblondie answered Friday August 26 2005, 5:23 pm: It sounds like you have a lot of water retention or gas. Since you said it randomly comes and goes, have you noticed it happening after you eat or drink certain things? It's possible that you may be allergic to a food or drink item and the bloating is your reaction. Does it only happen around your period? If you have a very small frame, any amount of bloating will make you look pregnant.
I would suggest talking to your doctor. While it is normal for people to be bloated from time to time, it sounds to me that you have an extreme case. A doctor can examine you to better determine what is causing the bloating and how to treat it.
