Re: Mysterious stomach problems for over a year now..awful distention..parasites?

thank you for being so brave and sharing your story. I'm brand new on the site and have experienced some of what you describe. I'm very athletic and fit - work out 5x's a week and suffer from a distended abdomen that makes me look pregnant. It is very difficult and often times my pants/shorts won't close and I too have resorted to baggy clothing. I eliminated all gluten, yeast, sugar, corn, nuts and sometimes I would think it seemed better until I would eat a meal and 30 minutes later my stomach would expand out to "preggie mode". Most recently this happened after eating a simple salad and steamed artichoke. I've done some Water Fasting and sometimes felt better - some times not. I've done some cleanses with mixed results. I've had a colonic and didn't really experience any relief other than feeling bloated afterwards - my tech said my colon loves to hang onto water.... what ever that means. Anyways - I hope you continue to share your story because it has helped me already to know I'm not crazy! My fiance thought I was imagining it until he witnessed my abdomen grow before his very eyes. I'm planning on continuing to read up on the parasite cleanse because it seems this could be something that could help me.
