Hi, I have a problem that just will not go away...I am a type 2 diabetic and I take glucophaz 3 times per day and I take maxzide 2 times per day. I can be fine if I eat or do not eat my belly swells up sometimes for a few weeks to where I look like I am having twins and then it will go back to normal. This is driving me nuts because it makes me look bad and feel bad all at the same time. Can stress cause this because I am under a lot of hidden stress. I have lost 20 pounds since march 2005 becasue I wanted to lose it not because of the problem. I am also very tired and sluggish, my Dr. Said my thyroid test came back normal. I stopped drinking milk due to gas and bloating, my glucophaz gives me bad cramps and the runs.
