My tummy goes absolutely flat if I don’t eat for 24 hours (I know, not healthy). And then stays quite big when I eat normally. Although I have not considered myself to bloat, I am rethinking this. Do I have bloating issues that I’ve not recognised yet? Why else would my tummy be absolutely flat with only 24 hours of not eating

Not eating for 24 hours and then suddenly eating (likely) extra food will always cause you to bloat. Your body will flux throughout the day/week/month, a woman’s cycle is 28 days on average. Hormones and many other things can impact how much water you retain, bloating, etc.

Yes there may be underlying food sensitivities as someone else said, but also many foods we eat are inflammatory. Anything processed, sugar, gluten, dairy, starchy carbs, overly salted food will all make you bloat somewhat. Eat the amount of food your body intuitively needs, work with a dietitian if you think it will help… if you have disordered eating habits you may need to work with a therapist.

Also unless you’ve had your uterus removed, it’s extremely difficult to be completely flat. Remember pictures of people you see with amazing bodies on social media are showcasing highlight real (the absolute best shots), not reality…

This is a question for your doctor. People who have bloating usually have internal symptoms (bowel issues, discomfort, etc.). When you don’t eat solids, your body also loses fluids, and that can contribute to a flatter midsection depending on your body type. My abs looked *amazing* after I did a colonoscopy prep. But that is not healthy to repeat.

Sounds like bloating issues to me. You may want to try bloating remedies like Arrae, and if you don’t fond something that works for you, consider talking to your doctor

It does sound like a bloating issue, but may be further impacted by digestion and bowel movement timing.

What are you eating? I had horrible bloat and afternoon stomach aches when I used to eat gluten. I thought this was normal till I stopped eating it.

Try cutting stuff out one by one. Gluten and dairy are common offenders.

Googling ADHD today (I’m having a distracted day) and super frustrated because I’m realizing that I was likely misdiagnosed as depressed for years. I was taking SSRIs and dealing with awful side effects while I struggled for so long. I finally got an official diagnosis about 10 years ago but was never taught the symptoms or how to manage them. Found you tube channel ADDitutde magazine. Several really good presentations with recent developments Thought I’d share.

When did you tell work about your pregnancy?

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

Trying to decide between a natural cycle or a synthetic cycle for implantation. As I understand it the major difference is doing either vaginal progesterone suppositories for one or progesterone injections. How bad are the injections? Thoughts on either cycle would be appreciated.
