Abd swelling: Perhaps your mother is swallowing too much air at times and is inflating her stomach and intestines. Try to teach her to eat more slowly, chew food well, do not talk much while eating, use digestive enzymes with meals, avoid milk (she may be lactose intolerent). Keep checking with her doctor about how to get well.
