My stomach looks like i am pregnant which i am pretty sure that i am not. I am 37 years old and healthy as far as i know. But read this could be cancer. Ahould i check with a doc or see how it goes?

Brief Answer:
Following advice...

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Your symptoms aren't typical for cancer, but most likely are related to irritable bowel disease. Cancer isn't associated with weigh gain and you shouldn't worry for that.

If you were my patients I would like to recommend doing as follows:
- Eat often and in small portions
- Drink plenty of water
- Avoid spicy food
- Reduce alcohol in less then a glass of wine per day (2-4 per week)
- Stop smoking
- Avoid tea, café, carbonated drink
- Use simethicone and creon to reduce the bloating

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
Dr. Klerida
