Talk:Abdominal distension

message: I had to jump in and "fix" the intro. para. -- couldn't stand it.  I tried to make it read a little more "authoritatively" and less like a junior-high essay (sorry).  Also I tried to make it more directly and thoroughly address/introduce the actual topic itself. I did not add the necessary citations back in this go-around (I'm just really bad at using the citation template, sorry!)  But, I plan to do that next.
In reading what's there now, it seemed to me that there are both many causes of the condition and much general lay-person interst in the topic.  The rewrite should both address lay-person needs and cover the topic broadly enough to at least suggest (better yet, link to) additional reading.  In particular, rather than get into each and every cause/source of bloating, (there are other websites more appropriate for symptom checking!) this article should probably at most just touch on them (but link to the specifics, which should already have their own articles).  
That said, I'll try to make these proposed edits sometime in the near future (days-weeks).  (As a sufferer myself, I'm rather "into" the topic at present - lol!)  However, if someone else reads this and feels keen to give it a go -- be my guest!  Enjoy!  I just hope these proposed ideas help.  And, of course, feel free to message me directly if you want to collaborate on it.  That'd be fun!  Yours in health (hopefully!) Cynthisa (talk) 18:56, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: The above comment is quite old, but it does offer some good advice:  It would be good if the article briefly touched on things like Ogilvies Syndrome, for general info./breadth purposes, and provided the link to the specific malady's own article (assuming there is one).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cynthisa (talk • contribs) 19:14, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Stomach cramps?

message: I have come across several instances of people attempting or thinking about attempting to induce distension for erotic reasons. This strikes me as dangerous and foolhardy and I wondered if there was some information about this practice to edify readers as to potential health problems. Thanks.
