Help please. what would cause a person tummy to blow up and be hard? so hard that it is sore
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gas entrapment: Either forming excess intestinal gas and/or not being able to pass the gas causes abdominal distension. Drinking hot water and applying a hot water bottle to the abdomen promotes breaking down and passage of the gas. Taking simethicone after meals prevents the build-up of the gas.
