I would get tested for Candida. This can really swell the abdomen (mostly with unpassed gas).

Other major medical issues can cause this severe swelling.

One is lymphoma. And when it is in the abdomen, people often look pregnant.

Others are liver problems and congestive heart failure.

Some people do have edema from opiates, but not to the extent you do. So I think it is really important to get a good medical evaluation for this swelling of the abdomen.

I hope you find your answer soon.
