I have a few months history of terrible lower abdominal distention and swelling. I am very thin, so it is quite obvious on my lean body when my belly protrudes and it is very hard. I sometimes get very gassy with this. I NEVER have diarrhea. I am NEVER constipated. I do, however, have 1-2 VERY large bulky stools of normal consistency. My diet is whole foods, veggies, fruits, grains, lean meats, soy products, and no dairy. I do drink coffee and I use splenda. I excercise vigorously 5 days per week and I drink approx 100 oz of water per day.
How can this be IBS or a food intolerance considering I NEVER get diarrhea, cramps, spasms or pain? It is only distention and gas.
