I have been having a problem with abdominal distention (looking like I am pregnant) for about 5 months now off and on.  I have been swelled since Aug 8th this time.  6 years ago I had surgery for the same type of issue where they said my intestines were too long and they adhered part of it to my side instead of removing any.  I went to a gastroenterologist a couple of months ago and he was concerned that I had fluid in my abdomen - then he noticed spider angioma on my chest so right away he thought liver.  I had all kinds of bloodwork done for the liver and an ultrasound and all of that came back normal.  When I went back to him, i was not swelled and that was great.  When i swelled again, i called and he brushed me off saying it was constipation.  I have never been an every day person. Every 3 days is my normal.  i really dont feel that is the problem.  He went from concerned to patronizing.  I really dont hurt (except in my upper abdomen - right under the middle of my breasts).  Im just very uncomfortable.  I feel like going to an emergency room in a great hospital and just saying ok here i am... please find out what is wrong with me.
