Thread: bloating/stomach distension...help please

fellas, a few months ago i started to notice some extreme bloating. the kind of bloating you'd get from a thansgiving meal not from eating just chicken and veggies. the bloat got to the point where i'd almost classify it as stomach distension. when relaxed my stomach seems to stick out. which isn't really that bad but enough to drive my OCD crazy. i've made an appointment to see a gastroenterologist and the doc has me scheduled to get bloodwork this week to check for food allergies, thyroid, etc..
has anyone had anything like this happen before? any and all help is appreciated. Thanks

also, i didn't tell the doc about my aas history. should i? below is a list of supps i've tested in the past 8 months..

primo oral
winni oral
winni inj
mast
test cyp
letro
caber
t3
clen
igf-1 lr3 - only tested this 5-10 times
gh - been running 2 iu a day for about 6 months

thanks again

I noticed my UPPER abdomen was really sticking out .I went to the gastro Dr and all my labs came out clean but as he was giving me a once over he said my spleen was huge.Turns out I had mantle cell lymphoma a very rare cancer. Now again I am sure you don't have a similar situation and I didn't mean to scare you but my point is this to everyone DO NOT EVER take your health for granted. If you notice a change in your body that doesn't go away in a couple of weeks get checked out. Most serious problems are cought like this almost by accident. As far as telling the DOC about AAS use I advise against it at least for a while till you rule out other things. Alot of DOC's when you tell them about such things well you don't get treated the same. If he is concerned and can't find any other probs and you get to know him better maybe then. Gh can cause stomach distension but i've never heard of it with such a low dosage.Also alergy to glueten. Could be many things . Point is you are doing the RIGHT thing ! Good luck Bro !

you are so very right!!! thanks for the response. i assume your condition is gone...?

funny you mentioned glueten because i'm currently staying away from it and feeling better. i though i had celiac but tested negative for it so started eating it again. my new doc says the tests for celiac is not 100% so i'm getting retested. either way i've gone with and without it so the data is there.

thanks again for the response!!
