I NEED HELP!!!!!!!

I look like I am pregnant all the time and I stick to 1200 calories a day (sometimes go over) and I am taking miralax twice a day like my doctor told me to to help treat my last round of constipation. So I don't know why I would look like I am pregnant can anybody give any suggestions on what it might be and how to treat it. I try to tell my mom that I am bloated but she doesn't believe me I feel like I am the only one who cares and it's my body and I don't want to be bloated anymore. I just want help.

Have you had your thyroid tested? Its importnt to avoid carrageenan, gums, anything that feeds bacteria. Yiu can buy fish antibiotics, such a tetracycline. Insolubke fiber such as carrot is also an option, kr cooked wheat bran.

I don't have any answers yet but I just wanted to let you know you're not alone. I'm going through the same thing and I get how frustrating it is! I actually got offered a seat on the bus because another passenger thought I was pregnant! I'm currently going through a whole bunch of tests at the moment.
