I am slim and have always had a flat belly but all of a sudden, my belly became bigger and harder. also, i have been farting a lot. why is this?

Abdominal discomfort: Without knowing your age, it is difficult to pinpoint the probable cause. Ovarian cysts can enlarge one's abdomen, but excess gas production can be caused by an intolerance to lactate in milk and milk products, including intestinal enlargement and occasional diarrhea. See your healthcare provider for answers after testing.
