Distended stomach: If concerned about pregnancy check HCG . Would also consider a sonogram which would also view the ovaries make sure no cysts, masses, and uterus for fibroids . Iif all negative consider CT to look at the other structures of the abdomen, liver, pancrease (pancrelipase) , kidneys and space. Food intolerences, constipation, weight gain, low thyroid can cause bloating check TSH,CMP,CBC , f/u w/ doc
