You would want to see a gastrologist They are doctors that deal with your intestines. How often does it swell? My stomach would swell EVERY time i ate, regardless of what i ate. They did tons of different test. Here are a few things they thought might be wrong with me, I don't know if it will pertain to you. Bacterial over growth in the intestines, gallbladder, gluten intolerance. Finally after a year of testing, (colonoscopy, ultrasound, upper GI, Lower GI, stool sample, etc) I think the doctor got sick of telling me near was nothing he could do, h told me I have irritable bowel and I get referred to an acupuncturist. Believe it or not, that is what has helped me, he give me some herbs to drink daily and I go surrounded by for treatments every 6-8 weeks and my stomach only bloats periodically.
