Hello, my mother is 54 years old has been wondering why she has an unusual enlarged stomach, she is not pregnant, but had a recent case of gallbladder stone. However, she claims this time, that her stomach doesn't have any gallbladder stone and its unusually enlarged for some reason. What could be the cause?

Hi welcome to the health care magic
Here for your mother condition first investigation to be done is USG abdomen...
It will help in rule out any organic cause if present
Chronic constipation also can lead bulging stomach area
If digestion is the issue then laxative like psyllium with milk can be prescribed
If no organic cause found in USG abdomen then it can be functional problem
Take green leafy vegetables and fruits more
So investigate with USG abdomen and consult physician for examination
Hope this will help you
