I weigh just under 9 stone, and look generally slim all over but i have bloated looking tummy.....i have been pregnant before 5 years ago and at mo it looks like i am 3/4 months pregnant!
it is quite firm but an obvious bump!
Will exercise and toning rid this....or is it too late?
I also suffer from IBS but am unsure what exactly is the main cause!
Thank U :-)

It could be a digestive problem, however, it could also be a postural problem. If you wear high heels or have been pregnant before, the chances are that you caused an imbalance in your general alignment so your spine is a bit tilted backwards just above your bum. This in turn can cause for your stomach muscles to deform, which will cause a protrusion. You would need physiotherapy-type exercises (not your usualy stomach crunches as this can make the problem worse if it's related to this problem). Go and see your physio, just complain that this hurts your back, blah, blah, blah. It can take some time for the correction to happen depending on how long you've been damaging your back for (whether it's wearing high heels for years or having been pregnant for 9 months). Good luck, hope you get the stomach you want.

I don't know how much 9 stone is in pounds but it seems you are rather small. Therefore it won't take much for a tummy to show. I'm sure exercise and diet and exercise could rid you of it but it probably doesn't look that bad.

thats probably why your stomach is bloated,i suffer from ibs and mine bloats, a mild laxative might help or you can get some special stuff for ibs,try and cut out on dairy foods and spices too it might be a tolerance,also its never to late to tone up good luck!

I suppose there could be a lot of different reasons. I had a problem w/ this and was told that the cause was h-pylori, which was found after a simple blood test. I was given antibiotics to clear it up and I think they worked b/c my bloating has almost vanished.

i too suffer from ibs and when i eat certain foods such as onions and garlic my tummy bloats and i feel like i did when i was pregnant. ibs can be triggered off with food allergies etc, you can get anti spasmodics which should help with this.
most of all your best talking to your doctor who can advise you better x

you should attempt to devour somewhat fit. Chaning your weight help plan will in all likelihood help. attempt to devour issues with more desirable fibre in and verify you're having various of fruit and vegetables. you could also purchase particular yoghurts that would help with such issues as bloating. Danone Activia specifically facilitates with bloating, and theyre reli tremendous! good luck!

Do you drink plenty (just water and stuff), cause if you don't, you get a bloated tummy - sounds daft but true
