    Why don't "trust" doctors? They are literally trained to help you find out what is wrong. Years of medical school plus tools like allergy panels and blood tests.

    It could be milk, you said you almost every day drink a cup of milk. The same happens to me when I drink milk. Try to avoid milk and derivatives for a couple of days.

    I told a doctor once what I was allergic too and he gave me a medicine with it in it which gave me a bad reaction, then when I went back he prescribed something else for my reaction. I feel like most doctors are out to push medications to get their paycheck, at least the ones I've met. Then I'm afraid they won't believe me because I'm so young.

    My friend had this problem and was diagnosed with celiac disease. Seriously, at some points she would look like she was 6 months pregnant from the bloat. I would recommend you see a doctor.

    Didn't read everyone' comments but what about an intolerance to gluten. My mom change her diet to gluten and preservative free and lost 25 lbs and belly is gone.

    Like others have said....it looks like an intolerance to something. Personally I bloat like this (pregnant looking firm belly as opposed to squishy fat belly) when I've had too much wheat. I also get tummy pains and an itchy *kitten* (sorry for TMI!!!!). Never been tested but I have recently cut out wheat (and most other grains other than brown rice) and the bloating/pain/itch has gone and the lbs are starting to come off. I read 'Wheat Belly' recently and that really confirmed that I'm doing the right thing. Good Luck!

    it has to be dietary I would do this diet where basically you cut out all things that commonly give people dietary problems for 2-3 weeks and then add them back one by one then see how your body reacts. cut out all , gluten, soy, dairy ,eggs, meat and artificial things and low sodium, pretty much eat vegan organic and then add back the categories one by one. it will show what your body is really intolerant to.

    The Dr. I work with is Gluten intolerant and told us that if she accidentally gets ahold of some her belly will bloat and she will have seriouse bowl issues. I would see a Dr. sounds like you have a substantial allergy to something. I would not prolong going either, because if it came on that quickly, you could have something more serious happening with your body.
