A member asked:

I'm really cauntious about my stomach. it sticks out around the belly button area.after i eat lunch it goes from little bump to huge bloated stomach. ?

Bloated: Sounds like you are describing an umbilical hernia as bloating in response to eating. Some evaluation into the cause of your bloating is warranted such as food intolerance (lactose, etc). Also if the hernia is bothersome you can consider surgical repair.
