What Is The Treatment For Distended Stomach?
My nine year daughter often has a distended stomach. We have taken bread out of her diet which has helped but from time to time she is full of gas. She has been tested and is not a celiac. What other foods should we eliminate ? All suggestions welcome.

Hi.
9 Year old usually have no such issues as celiac or so.
It is possibly an infection of the intestines or lymph nodes or a problem like worms that cause this sort of a problem. Another possibility is of a problem with the large bowel, evacuation not being proper.
Get investigated by a Pediatric Surgeon to get to the root cause and get her treated accordingly.
Unsolved problems can cause more harm in the future.
