From Pedantic Ave:
Abdominal swelling, or
distention, is more often caused by overeating than by a serious illness. This problem can be caused by:
Air swallowing (a nervous habit)
Buildup of fluid in the abdomen (this can be a sign of a serious medical problem)
Gas in the intestines from eating foods that are high in fiber (such as fruits and vegetables)
Irritable bowel syndrome
Lactose intolerance
Ovarian cyst
Partial bowel blockage
Pregnancy
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
Uterine fibroids
Weight gain
