Question

what is causing his pot belly and what can get rid of it?


Sent to Health Experts October 18, 2007 10:08 a.m.
My husband is a small framed man who spent most of his life skinny as a rail. He will be turning 37 this year and while much of his body has stayed the same his belly has become what I would call a pot belly. He does not drink any form of alcohol. And his belly is always hard and tight, it never even goes down if he has had nothing to eat. What is the problem and what can we do to help?

Optional Information:
Male, Age: 37, Georgia

Already Tried:
diet and exercise. could something else be going on?
