What Does Severe Abdominal Bloating In A Child Indicate?
Hi my 14 year old daughter is experiencing extreme bloating. Even if she eats a small amount of food the result is extreme. It’s almost like she’s a balloon. Sometimes it’s so bad she can’t even sit. She becomes very dizzy. I’ve taken her to the doctors but they brush it off and say she is making it all up.
