What Causes Stomach Swelling After Having Food?

Hi I have stomach swelling, every time I eat I swell like I am 9 months pregnant. I feel hungry all the time. I have had an complete hysterectomy. I have taken laxatives which didn't work for 24 hrs. And still swell no matter how much or how little I eat.

Hello,
There may be few possibilities like either you are having infection in stomach or you are having acid peptic disease or ulcer. Most common infection in stomach is by H.pylori and it could be detected by rapid urease breath test or C13, C14 test and confirmed by Endoscopy assisted biopsy.
In my opinion the best solution is to go for upper GI Endoscopy and test for H.pylori, the diagnosis will be clear,followed by medication of the exact cause.
In this type of situation Tab-Pylori Kit helps my patients a lot it has to be taken for 10-14 days as per severity, in your case it has to be diagnosed first,followed by medication.

Regards,
Thanks
