Does not using the bathroom daily make a stomach look bigger?

Hello, Im a female from Oregon, and I barely go to the bathroom. I think I have IBS!
I probably go poop once every couple of weeks.
Do you think thats why my stomach looks so big!?
If I can poop everyday, will my stomach flatten?
 
I'm no doctor, so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but I would believe if you were backing up with feces, especially enough to make your stomach swell, you would probably get very ill and end up in a hospital. I would think with IBS, you would be in enough stomach discomfort to know that you should go to the doctor anyway. How long has this been going on?

What's your diet like? Is it well balanced? Do you exercise a lot?
 
Sorry to potentially disagree but I would say there is either something seriously wrong only a doctor would be able to diagnose or you are not really eating healthily.

If there is nothing wrong with your digestion only seriously dodgy diet would prevent you passing feaces daily or close too.
Key will be fibre content. This is the main dietary component we eat that is guaranteed to pass through the body harmlessly. This is only present in plant matter as cellulose is the substance making up the very cell wall defining difference between animal and plant cells, bit of high school biology there. If you are not eating enough plant derived food you can become severely constipated.

I have only known one person who had this directly. In fairness the guy was extremely senior, active and mentally astute so his disliking of green food etc. hadn't caused him any other obvious issues. Personally I wouldn't have liked to live that way though.

If you are eating plenty of greenery, time for a trip to the doctor. Be totally honest about exactly what you eat and drink every day. They cannot help you if you don't tell them the complete truth.
