A member asked:
Can ibs make my whole body swell? i've been eating a lot of dry gluten free granola and gluten free cookies. i think i may be over eating too.

IBS: Ibs doesn't' t cause body swelling from fluid retention, but it can cause abdominal distension from gas build up. Drinking warm water , taking mylanta and applying a hot water bottle to the abdomen relieves gaseous distension. Reducing salt cuts down on fluid retention.
