ok... I am a small framed female age 20. I am not super skinny but never chunky. In the past year or so I find that my belly pops out to the point that I look about 5 months pregnant. It isn't like squishy fat, but it is like my stomach pushing out. I notice when this happens I am constipated. It usually happens a week at a time them I pooh a lot for about 2-3 days then it starts over again. I seen 2 adds on tv for something I may have: one said that stress increases belly fat.. and the 2nd is that one where the ladies lift up their shirts to show their belly that talks about constpation

Try to eat more fiber in your diet. So you can "go" on a regular basis. Or seek the advice of a professional...you could have a disorder...but it just sounds you need more fiber.

Its not fat its probably bloating which can happen to some women when they eat the wrong foods ( causing the diahreah ) and also around the time of your period each month. Taking a common stomach medicine like Tums should help, as well as eating healthier, less, or slower.
If it doesn't stop and it bothers you alot - see a doctor

You may want to consider cutting out wheat and/or gluten. Often times these are the cause of the conditions you are suffering from for those who are sensitive (which is a large majority of people, just in varying sensitivities) Best thing to do is see your Doctor and get tested for any intolerance and rule out any other possible illnesses that are similar in symptoms.

Honey have you talked to your doctor? It may be that you have IBS! (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) This sometimes happens to me and that is what I have! They also may call it a spastic colon but it is the same thing! They might give you something like Zelnorm for this condition!

Well the one where the lady pushes up her shirt is ibs w/constapation, ibs is where whe n you eat things it upsets your stomach so bad & you hav't to run to the bathroom. i know what your talking about though, when i was younger(before i had my daughter) i was very very skinny, but my stomach wasen't flat it always stuck out like i was pregnate, i never figured out what was causing it.

Its probably just your intestines being full. When I eat a lot, it looks like i'm pregnant too.
