Tomr goin for a CT scan , been goin thru this fir months , and they say they don t know and are puzzled , my stomach is blowed up like imma 9 months pregnant .!!!!!! What can I do can u give me any idea ??????? Please . Doctor: I still don't understand why you took steroids.steroids are generally taken for inflammatory conditions like autoimmune disorders , any inflammatory bowel disease etc.Gaining weight and flushing feeling, bloated feel might be due to steroids only and stools might be stopping disease activity.consult internal medicine specialist for work up and management
