Q: Swollen Belly Because of Large Fibroid

Hello,
i am new here so hello everyone.
I have a fairly large fibroid which my doctor has been following for over 4 years. Lately it has grown a lot and she is sending me to a gynocologist. The waiting period is long and lately my abdomen is always swollen like it's going to bust. My husband teases me about being pregnant. Until I see the specialist, is there anything I can do to alleviate the bloating? I look the same as when I was 6 months pregnant.

Thanks

Please don't let them take too long in taking action on the fibrod. My mother was told her stomach was big because she was over weight. One day she went to emergency room and we almost lost her,due to low blood count. She had a 22lb tumor removed the next day they almost had to give her a hysterectomy it was so large it moved her intestents over. I wish you lots of luck

Thank you so much for replying. As for the diet you're suggesting, I will certainly try harder, but I already do a lot of those things (no salt, lots of water, little meat etc) I certainly have to increase raw veg. I was wondering about acupuncture, I have just called to make an appointment with a naturopath (not sure what they're called in english), but they use natural remedies.
Your poor mom, I hope she is ok. I have done some blood test lately, but results are not in yet.
