This has been killing me since yesterday. My stomach is grown HUGE, i've gained some weight because of it and now, it even started to effect the way i walk. It's really terrible. Any ideas?

sounds like you might be retaining water or are just bloated....
you can try increasing your potassium intake-this will help promote bowel movements and help get rid of the excess gas.
try foods like broccoli,potatoes,tomatoes,nuts,bananas,and raisins.
you can also try over the counter medications such as gas-x or mylanta gas-these will help too
if you start to have severe diarrhea (more than 6 times in an hour for 3 or more hours) or vomiting (not able to keep anything down including water for more than 2 hours) call your physician-you are at high risk for dehydration if this occurs

Chances are your just bloated from something you ate, that happens to me a lot. The best thing to do is take the Imodium that gets rid of bloating, not the anti-diarrhea kind. There are also plenty of over the counter medicines that will get rid of bloating and gas pain. If this does not work or you develop any other symptoms such as vomiting, bloody stool,or diarrhea, go to the doctor immediately. It might be something worse then just being boated.
