tried to find out if this qualifies as bloating, but it seems bloating refers to gas?
i dont have any gas but i do have severe abdominal distension, it starts to get a bit better but then comes back as bad or worse than before.
i cant find a decent doctor, the ones i have seen so far are immature idiots. because i have a mental illness, they seem to think it is impossible for me to have any other kind of illness
they ignored my shoulder and upper back pain for a YEAR! finally went to the ER where i was told my gallbladder was so full of stones it was contracted apon itself and stuck to my liver....
oh yeh, i was mad
my insurance severely limits my choices for doctors, and so i am trying to "cure myself" of what they think are non existant (or all in my head) problems
it is very discouraging
i am 50 yrs old and could have all sorts of other things- uterine or ovarian fibroids, for examole, but the last four times i saw a doctor, they did not even do any sort of exam at all, just ordered bloodwork
its almost as if they are afraid to touch me, afraid they will get sick or something. i am so totally fed up with these ignorant and insensitive fools.
it was not like this in the state i originally came from.
totally fed up and discouraged

severe abdominal distension from fluid retention - is this IBS?
