A member asked:
My nephew, who is three years old has a protruding stomach. he doesn't seem to be in pain, very active child. what may be the cause of it? it looks so abnormal

Hard to say: Without a full review of the kids past history, exam & maybe testing it is hard to speculate on the cause. It could be as simple as excess gut gas with flabby stomach muscles or an abnormally large abdominal organ. The importance could be of little significance or a life altering process.
