What Does Bloating Of Stomach Indicate?
My five year old son has always had a round tummy, I thought it would go as he grew up. It hasn t and looks quite distended often, and is firm. This is something that worries me, and then I talk myself out of it. He regularly has loose bowels but rarely complains of discomfort. Should I be concerned or it this normal?

Hi... a 5 year old with protuberant abdomen and frequent loose stools definitely requires evaluation. Please do not neglect and take him to a pediatrician. Sometimes liver associated disorders can also present similarly.
