Okay, since I started all this I am sporting around a VERY bloated tummy..I look deformed. I thought I was bloated before treatment, but that was nothing compared to now. I am not going #2 much and I am on probiotics..but this is so annoying! I have gained 2 pounds and its ALL in my tummy area. Anyone look prego? I know in the light of all the other stuff we have to deal with in treatment, this should not bother me..but when I cant get any of my jeans buttoned, it makes everything feel worse.
I get really bloated off and on with treatment. Killing off the yeast must create a lot of gas. It is very annoying, especially when you can't get your jeans buttoned. I guess it is just part of the process of clearing things out.
I was like that before I even started so nothing new for me. :(
hey...did you ever get my email about the zuchini and squash???
xo
...esp in the beginning. Then mine waxed/waned depending on protocol, but never as bad as the beginning (when at first I could just wear sweatpants, and then could wear jeans but only larger ones b/c of sizing but also belly was so tender that my now-tight regular jeans cut into my waist and hurt). Sometimes now I go to pee with a flat stomach, and when I stand up it's like instant pregnancy!... I believe it's inflammation for some, bloating/gas for others, or a combo.
I get that too I look prego all the time. As a matter of fact my friend who had a baby had a smaller belly then mine during her 4-5 month . It's just a big lump on my belly. Thank God i live in FL i can still wear dresses. I plan on getting some sweater dresses for when it gets colder and I will just slap on some ugs I have been wearing dresses the whole time. I have gained 12 lbs one month from not going and it doesn't come off because i am ALLWAYS backed up. Accasionally i get going for one day but it's not enough. I know once I become regular it will go away.
once your bladder is more stable and stronger you might look into some post prego pilates.
No, I never got your email..
Well, I am not alone I see. What do you think Matia would say about a tummy tuck during treatment..haha! (really I am not kidding though)
I have had 3 c-sections and gained and lost 80 pounds........NONE of this is helping my IC belly:(
A battle worth fighting ♥
