Hello,
Abdominal distention can occur in conditions where the colon motility s affected or there is intestinal obstruction. X-ray abdomen is the initial screening evaluation. So follow up with your primary provider with your X-ray and ultrasound results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
