What Causes Bloating, Legs Swelling And Extreme Food Cravings?

I am experiencing a condition frequently where my belly bloats to a degree that it looks extended, and my legs swell, too. I am eating a very healthy diet with very little sugar, only dense non-glycemic carbohydrates and moderate healthy protein. I don t drink. I am also feeling anxioius with extreme food cravings. What could be causing this?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and thanks for writing.

I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. You condition may be related to malabsorption syndrome, protein deficiency or even diabetes.
I suggest you consult a doctor who may be able to diagnose you with a complete medical history, a physical examination and few investigations like blood tests, urine tests, USG abdomen and other tests.
Once a diagnosis is made then only a comprehensive management plan may be started for you which may include dietary modifications and medications.
