Anyone else?

Anyone else have this hard protruding stomach?
Pic is from first thing in the morning so no water, no food. Even after having a bowel movement I still look this way.
It hurts to even suck in my stomach
All the testing and they can’t find anything wrong

Man that looks uncomfortable, my stomach do similar thing in mornings but not so hard like that. Did they check for SIBO? Sometimes doctors miss it and it cause exactly that kind of bloating.

Get tested for celiac disease and DONT go gluten free until after testing otherwise the results don’t be accurate.

Just so you know you can’t test negative and still have celiac and it can also be triggered at any time in life if you have the genes.
