What Does Abdominal Distention Indicate?

I have a swollen belly (about 60 inches around) from under my breasts tp the top of my vaginal area. I look as if I am going to give birth tomorrow. No, I am not pregnant. I am 51 years old, i ve had this condition for over 10 years but has gotten progressivly worse over the past five. I have constipation along with constant acid reflux. I have been prescribed Rannatadine for the acid reflect and have been diagnosed with first diverticulites and then diverticulotis... Not sure if you can have both at the same time... anyway I look like I m ready to give birth, the acid reflux is so bad that I vomit because I am constipated. What do you think?
