Question about the colon?!

I went to the gastro dr!. about a week ago for a consultation due to IBS-like symptoms that I've been having!. I then asked him about a big concern!.!.!. (first off, I'm a fairly thin person and over the past 2 months I've lost about 7 pounds) !.!.!.my upper stomach (or rather, abdomen) protrudes out over my flat, lower abdomen!. It's the area right above the belly button!. He said that wasn't abnormal and I shouldn't be concerned because the colon *blah blah blah* !.!.!.he went into some explanation about the colon that I can't remember! It seems to stick out more some days that others!.

Does anyone understand where he was going!? I'd love a full understanding!! :(Www@Answer-Health@Com
