It's likely to be bloat. There are plenty of threads that discuss this at length. Here's an example (http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?t=80487&highlight=bloat)!

Hope that helps!

Has there been a sale on cheap fish food somewhere?

First do a large wc, then add 2 tbsp of Epsom Salt per 10 gals and see if that helps during the next 24hrs. In the mean time go over threads that deal with bloat as suggested above.

If the Discus on the picture was holding it's swollen belly with it's pectoral fins then there is a good chance it ate the food too.
