I have been the same for the past few weeks, when I eat or drink my tummy bloats like this I have yet to be diagnosed with endometriosis xx

I used to be exactly to same before I was diagnosed. I looked 6 months pregnant most of the time. Turns out I was suffering with severe constipation because of the endo. I knew I was constipated, but didn't realise how bad. Since diagnosis I've been prescribed laxido which has really helped with the bloating x

Yes this is me too and lots of other ladies. It is so distressing and uncomfortable. Have my second lap next week. I hope it goes down after thatxxx

That is happening to me right now! Very uncomfortable and frustrating. It's hardly ever it's normal size these days!

I am naturally a size 12 but because of this very thing I have to get 14. I look exactly like you but more so on my bad days. Usually I look slightly pregnant. I don't know what causes it and I am constantly like it now. I never get straight answers for anything but have never really asked about it if I'm honest. Its embarrassing for me though because it makes me look fat or pregnant and I cant get pregnant with ease so when people do ask its upsetting. It seems most of us get it so it must be normal xx

I also look the same- I get a little pregnancy-ish bump when ever I eat or drink. I wake up flat stomached, eat breakfast then look 4+ months pregnant. I too have never been given a reason but agree with all of the comments above about the embarrassment. I'm a size 8-10 and can look severely pregnant within minutes.

Hopefully someone, some day will give us an answer, but I do believe it's the endo as it gets worse certain times of the month, and will different pills.

I wish you all a pain free day ladies x

Hi

I also suffer from this on a daily basis, I am attending a dietican as I have lost weight due to not eating as its sore after eating, and also severely bloated.

Even eating a small salad makes me bloated and sore.

Hope we get some answers soon, but must be endo related.

I have the exact same problem I am a size 8-10 sometimes even fit into a six. But since having endo I feel like my belly bloats very easily which leaves me feeling down about wanting to even get dressed because my belly pops out. I dont know the answer I eat very healthy and also excercise and this does not help. Only time my belly goes flat is if I dont eat dinner of a night and go to sleep and wake up and my belly is flat but this does not last 2 minutes because as soon as I eat its back to looking like I have a baby inside of me! so annoying because I already get down about my weight anyway I always have since the age of 12 so I could do without the bloating. Any answers for reducing the bloat would be nice xxx

Yep. Looks similar to mine. I always look pregnant. It varies from 6 months to 9 months depending on how much endo wants

to humiliate me. It used to reduce me to tears but I came to the sad conclusion that there's nothing I can do about it. I gave up a long time ago. I just wear bigger clothes

Hi i am exactly the same everyday except i am vomiting everything i eat back up for the last 2 years except smoothies and drinks so its really getting me down at the moment cause its getting bigger as time goes on i am currently on Decapeptyl injections to treat the endo but i have been told the endo diet is ment to be good for this.
