Hi everyone,
This is not really a bodybuilding question but rather a beginner question for someone who has health issues. I've always been relatively skinny, with a flat stomach. I had a recent septoplasty unrelated to my stomach that caused me bloating. I've been on a journey to gain muscle anyway but now I see my stomach bloated its hard to get into the mindset that it will ever go away. Just tmi, I have also been experiencing chronic constipation the past few months. I never had it to this extent. I tried everything, herbal laxatives, probiotics, no sugar, clean diet, frequent exercise. Nothing. I met with my GI doctor who did a colonoscopy. Nothing. Just internal hemorrhoids and inflammation.
I checked with my gyno. I'm relatively healthy but I have a functional cyst on my right ovary which she says women get all the time and will go away. So here I am, at 24, a skinny woman but a bloated stomach when I wake up (which I'm not used to). Now I'm thinking I have to do pelvic floor exercises and bust my ass at the gym with abs, and squats so it all goes away. I'm afraid even when I do gain muscle mass I will always have the bloated stomach appearance but I'm not letting it get in the way of my goals.
The thing that bothers me the most is I always feel exhausted. I can barely go to work, do my masters, and go to the gym. I don't have much of an appetite anymore because I bloat after one big meal. I can't really gain weight eating small meals. Going to the bathroom takes forever. I feel like an 80 year old woman.
I feel like if I don't gain some muscles within the next year or so I could be declining in health and I don't really see myself surviving too long. It's painful and having IBS sucks, but I just want to know if anyone conquered this through rigid exercise and if maybe someone whos had it more severe beat it through heavy weightlifting. Thanks.
