Bloating

[Soph94]

Hi, I'm new today so lots of questions. I'm a healthy weight according to BMI yet my stomach always seems bloated and uncomfortable it makes me so self conscious. Does endo cause this? Has anyone had the same experience? X

Unfortunately it's one of the many symptoms of endo.

Mine started as just bloating after certain food/drink, however, now it is constant from when I wake up till I go to sleep. ( My BMI is also healthy)

Peppermint tea is great and helps with the discomfort of bloating most women find.

You could try to see which food/drink affects you the most and cut them out of your diet.

Hope this helps! xx

Hi. I have this too, I have recently lost half a stone due to not being able to eat very much without pain, however I look 6 months pregnant due to bloating x

Thanks for the comments everyone, hearing that other people have the same experience is helpful although horrible we have to put up with it! I drink green tea to try and relive it but unfortunaltly doesn't last long. The bloating makes me so conscious! Xx

Hi,

do you have bowel problems?

because i also have the same problem as you and it started when i had bowel problems, being constipated and whilst on my period would really make my stomach bloated

I can relate... Before my surgery I was having problems with bloating... Same as you I wake up and my tummy is flat then throughout the day it just grows and grows... I have taken to wearing maternity trousers/jeans to allow me to sit comfortably at work. After my surgery it's still the same! It's truely miserable! I'm seeing my specialist for my follow up on thursday so we'll see what they have to say then... I hope it's not something I'll just have to live with...

I have the same issue. I use peppermint tea when I can. But it is incredibly embarrassing as I am so aware and think that people assume I am fat or something.
