One of my symptoms is occasional pain in the temples or over the eyebrows. I read that those were meridians- Also back of the head - from the gb/liver. Good luck! I'm starting to think I should carry around a little supply kit with me just in case. I think it sounds like gas.

Good heavens!
Well, without knowing if you're exaggerating as we females sometimes do when it comes to our 'looks', I can't say for sure if you are just bloaty, or something more serious.

I would never discount that something more serious is going on and that you might actually need to be looked at.

How old are you? Are you still menstruating? A bloated belly can be - WORST CASE SCENARIO - signs of ovarian cancer. Pain in the jawline can be the HEART.

In 2004, I went to the hospital doubled over in pain. I sat in the ER for hours. My belly got bigger and bigger until I TRULY DID look 9 months pregant, and the pain was so intense I couldn't stand it anymore. Even morphine didn't help. It ended up that I was bleeding internally (which is what I figured).

As your post is now several days old, I'm going to assume you passed gas; had a great trip and are home safe and sound already and will never eat dried fruit when you're stressed..

OMG! Dried fruit is THE most gas-forming food you can possibly eat! Stay away from it for a few days and you'll see the difference.
I typically have gas from all kinds of foods and have been experimenting with l-glutamine lately. It's a powdered amino acid that helps heal the gut. It's amazing, i'm not bloated anymore.

Hey, thanks! I stopped eating all dried fruits, just to be safe. Yet, on my trip, I kept getting asked "How far along are you?" (meaning pg). So I am still swollen. Thinking it could be my liver and gallbladder. 10 pounds of rocks in my gallbladder could probably do it, don't you think?
