May be normal...: ...Since you haven't described symptoms of bowel obstruction, delayed gastric emptying, or GI inflammation. Stomachs are designed to expand when you eat so if yours is close to the abdominal wall you will notice it more than if your abdominal musculature is well toned. Watch people going in to ; out of a restaurant--most have bigger bellies on leaving than when they entered. See doc if concerned.
