What Causes Swelling In The Abdomen?

For the past two weeks I have had a noticeably swollen abdomen. Appetite has decreased. Watery stool and gas. Almost constant back pain. And within the past two days, numbness/tingling in my lower right thigh(unrelated?). I have tried a non stimulant laxative. Is there anything else I can try or is it time to go to a doctor.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you're suffering from diarrhea then why you want to use laxative?? stop it use probiotic tablet twice a day for five days. Loose stools with eating milk or gas formation food like gluten or proceed carbohydrates may cause bloating. Use tablet pantoprazole , use ofloxacine Ornidazole twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved or allergic to above drug please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
