Tapeworms, round worms, pin worms, hook worms, whip worms, protozoans... Yeah. Lots of parasites out there like making home in our intestines.

Are your bowel movements regular? Are you getting enough dietary fiber in fruits and vegetables? Irritable bowel syndrome can cause bloating. If you do not suffer from pain related to the bloating and you are not irregular with your bowels then perhaps it is related to your monthly cycle. Is pregnancy a possibility? Parasite generally cause weight loss and malnourishment.

You see pictures of little starving children and notice their bloated bellies? That's from parasites.

Anyway, it's really unlikely it's a parasite; I was simply listing possibilities other than pregnancy and that one popped into my head.
