Noticed Abdomen Swelling After I Eat. Underweight. Doctor Advised To Visit Hematologist. Should I Move Ahead?
My abdomen swells every time I eat anything at all. This has been going on for almost two years. GI doc can't find anything wrong. Swelling is always there but is so much worse after eating. I've lost twenty pounds and was pretty thin to begin with. Now I look like one of those malnourished children with the swollen belly. Just had a blood test. WBC is low (2.3) and monocytes are high (11). Doc wants me to see hematologist. Any ideas?

You must take digestive enzyme preparations after meals for good digestion.
Ask your doctor if there is any liver or spleen enlargement.
Since doctor has tested you for your symptoms he must have wanted hematologist opinion also based on some contributory finding
