A member asked:
What is the extra fluid in your stomach called?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ascites?: I don't think you're referring to stomach acid, are you? I assume you mean "ascites" = the free fluid in the abdomen that can accumulate for a variety of conditions (see my other healthtap answers on the subject). If not, please be a little more specific so we can pinpoint the answer for you. Thanks for your question.
