Dealing with Endo Belly: Frustration and Body Dysmorphia

I have an endo belly too. I can’t use heat on my tummy anymore due to a large burn due to excessive use and I’m so uncomfortable in regular clothes as I feel like I look a few months pregnant and I look quite a bit younger than I am. I also struggle with dieting because I’m autistic so I really struggle with taste and texture. I also can’t exercise due to the pain and I don’t know what to do. If you would like to talk please reach out. :)

As a teenager i feel you sm 😥 the pressure of us girls and women to look amazing all the time is awful. I recommend to log foods that make ur endo belly flare and then try to slowly cut them out

Yeah this is the part the drove me crazy I'm not 100% sure if this works medically but my Dr told me to take ice baths in short burst like 2 a week when it's my period it's helped with my bloating it doesn't take it all away by any means but it helps a little

Honestly it drove me nuts for SO long. After a combo of a full GI work up and excision of endo they were able to significantly minimize mine. I have gastroparesis and it’s apparently common to have motility issues with endo

Girl I feel you😭 I always avoid inflammatory food during my period and it helps a little! Here’s a list of some inflammatory food: - dairy - red meat (make sure to eat a lot of iron heavy food after your period is over) - soy - gluten - fiber Hope this helps ❤️

I have endometriosis, some what newly diagnosed. What is Endo belly ?!
