Hi. my mother , 96 years young, has developed a very swollen belly in the past 8 weeks. She has gone from size 6 to a very tight size 12 today. Her appetite is good and she is not in any discomfort. Any ideas???

Hi Eardija,

Has she been to see a doctor? If not, it seems that would be the best first step.

Best wishes, Mary
