    I don't understand why everyone gets so worked up about this question. To the topic starter, I suffer from IBS unfortunately and my belly can bloat like the woman in the picture as well, even worse. It get's round and fully tense as well. Difference with a 'pregnant belly' is that it doesn't look like that when I sit down.

    I wear leggings with a broad elastic band whenever I suffer from that, because pants then just don't fit... It usually subsides within a few hours though.

    Being that bloating is a normal part of being a woman the fact that the OP is asking this question like she's surprised, either means that she is looking for an excuse to restrict foods or has a grave medical issue. Seriously...looking six months pregnant after eating a muffin?
