What Does Distension Of Stomach Indicate?

Hi, my husband has been complaining about his stomach for the last few months. His stomach is distended and has had diarrehea and constipation, burning feeling, feeling of mucus in the throat and coughs. He won't go to the doctors. He is trying to lose and weight and eat better. I think he should be seen by a doctor. Also he showed me stretch marks on his stomach today

Hello,

There are many causes for distension of abdomen like acute gastritis or food Intolerance or Irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel problems et cetera.

Avoid dairy products; gluten contains food, smoking, caffeine drinks and alcohol. Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week.

If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.

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