Endo Belly Isn't Just Bloating
from The Chronic Chronicles Hosted by Lexy Halloran
Season 2, Ep 24 Welcome to The Chronic Chronicles, I'm SO happy that you're here! A symptom that looks like bloating but feels like so much more — that's endo belly. In this episode, I break down the science behind why endometriosis causes severe abdominal distension, why it's different from typical GI bloating or IBS, and how inflammation, hormonal shifts, gut dysbiosis, and pelvic dysfunction all contribute to the symptom that visually impacts me most. I also share my personal experiences living with endo belly — the emotional impact, the wardrobe struggles, the misunderstandings, and why this symptom has shaped how I live with endometriosis every single day. We'll explore: • What endo belly actually is — not just bloating, but inflammation and disease‑associated GI dysfunction • How it differs from IBS and cyclical bloating • The emotional weight of a symptom that's visible • Science‑informed tools and practices that help me manage it • Why we deserve better recognition and care If you've ever looked in the mirror, felt your abdomen swell, then heard "it's just gas" — this episode is for you.
