SOS. Swollen stomach?

My stomach is swollen since 10 days and sometimes it even aches. I've eaten about 2 peaches, an apple, a tomato and a cucumber a day in the last 7 days. I cut the sugars like chocolate, but my stomach is still swollen. I get colastra, zinc, siberian ginseng, acetyl l-carnitine and a packet of fos syrup daily. My fibres are good. I manage to eat at least a meal containing oat bran, yogurt and whole-wheat bread.

I can't train as hard as I want and when I start running on the treadmill or when I do few sit ups my stomach starts aching and swelling.

What do you think?

    do you have wheat allergies?

    my stomach gets ridiculously swollen with gluten ...

    and um wtf are you really only eating a few fruits, yogurt and a piece of frigging bread a day? that's nuts

    ETA: Ok i checked your diary and you are eating more. try leaving out the gluten stuff for a week and see how you feel.

    I had a similar situation with my gallbladder. Would make me swell/bloat up anytime I ate just a little food or did anything strenuous.

    Go to the Doctor ASAP, don't cut food and hope it goes away. It could be VERY serious.

    It's definitely from eating so much fruit consistently. All of the fiber in fruit makes you poop a LOT and can upset your stomach if you eat tway too much and it makes you bloated.

    OK. I went to my doctor today and she said I have colitis. She prescripted a probiotic and and a powder for a swollen stomach. I have mainly to eat liquid food. Any recipes?
