Distended belly need help
I hate to post this but this is something I’ve been struggling with the past year or so. I assumed it was from my AAS usage and being on TRT for so long. I was hoping if I stopped TRT things would go down but no such luck. I’m 44 almost 45. I’m currently recovering from surgery but planning to get lean for summer. My gut has gotten hard and distended.
It is mostly my lower abdomen but I’m getting really self conscious. I’ve put on a bit of fat over the past several months because I needed my hip replaced and was in pain etc. I’ve read online it could be from carbonated drinks which I drink a lot of, eating too fast etc. I’m thinking it might be something else. I’m planning on doing a colon cleanse and removing all carbonated drinks and really cleaning up my diet. Cardio will be a slow go for at least another 6 weeks.
Not sure if anyone else here has had or has a similar issue. I’ve never taken Insulin but have taken HGH but typically only 2ius per day. I’ve wondered if I could have delayed gastric emptying which my son has. I tried taking Miralax daily for several months but that did nothing. Just at a loss and looking for help
