I occasionally suffer from distended abdomen plus gas, plus sometimes diarrhea and bleeding from anus. I do have a hiatus hernia and notice sometimes my food will not go down very quickly causing nausea and loss of appetite. I also have congestive heart failure because of heart attack in Jan. 2013 when 4 stints were inserted. I try to be cognizant of health problems but sometimes these things feel overwhelming. Can you give me advice on presenting these swollen belly symptoms. Most of the time diet doesn t seem to be the problem.
