Bloated stomach while sick?
I've been pretty sick with a cold for a while now, and I keep on getting stomach aches (I got my period today, which may be part of the reason, but.. still), and I've noticed that my stomach is really bloated.
It's definitely not because I've been eating too much - I actually eat less now, because whenever I eat I'm scared I might puke it up or diarrhea it out (I had pretty bad bouts of diarrhea a few days ago). I'm on antibiotics now, but they don't seem to be working, and it seems like there's a lot of gas / water inside my stomach.
This doesn't usually happen when I'm sick - I usually lose my appetite and get thinner. But recently I feel really bloated, ALL the time. Does anyone know why?
And no, I'm not pregnant. Yes, I'm sure.

The antibiotics are killing your gut flora. Soon, you'll get a yeast infection, thrush in your throat and continuing diarrhea.
Take acidophilus, a billion active cultures per pill. Take this 2 times a day for a month.
You'll be fine.

it might be the side effects of the medicine you take, can try to google them since you didnt state the medicines you're taking right now. or commonly caused by constipation, anxiety, indigestion. alternatively, see a dr to prescribe you some activated charcoal to help relief the stomach gas temporarily. :)
