Bloating Has Destroyed My Life

[Tasty17]

I have the same shit. No idea why. Each year I become fatter and more bloated in the fat, despite a very low body fat percentage.

 

[Sondern]

I want to tell you about something that has cock-blocked me my whole life.

I had the misfortune of being born with a health disorder that causes my face and body to bloat intermittently throughout the day. This means that I can appear very attractive one moment, but hideous the next.

Sometimes, this inflammation gets so severe that it makes me look as if I've gained 30 pounds almost instantly, causing my facial features to get subtly distorted to the point that I look like there's something wrong with me. One friend described it as looking like I was "stung by a bee". It sounds crazy, but I can clearly see this myself in the mirror.

This swelling can occur at any time, without warning. It's very unpredictable. When I'm out in public, for example, I often notice women suddenly avoiding eye contact with me. Some even take a wide berth around my path, as if I'm the Elephant Man. They do this even when I'm minding my own business and not paying attention to them. But they just can't help themselves. Their reaction is instinctual. The worst part is that there's no way to ignore it. It's always in my face.

Forget about actually interacting with women when I'm bloated. That's simply out of the question, unless I want to experience flagrant mistreatment. Women are utterly incapable of feeling anything but disdain towards ugly men. It's hardwired into their DNA. I can't even have a Platonic exchange with them, because they get very guarded and irritable, and act as though they want to end the interaction as quickly as possible. This is clearly evident in their facial expressions and body language.

By stark contrast, when the bloating subsides, and my face leans out, I often get eye contact and lascivious stares from women wherever I go. The attention can be overwhelming. They basically treat me like a celebrity. It's like I suddenly morph from an ogre into the best looking man on earth. The change is that dramatic. Some of these women often enter my personal space to make it easy for me to interact with them, while the bolder ones have gone much further than that.

I've had women catcall me, start conversations with me out of the blue, and even once had a girl flash her panties at me on the subway. They basically hand me the keys to their pussies.

Even men treat me with reverence when I'm leaned out. I can't tell you how many times groups of coworkers have waved to me attentively, as if they were saluting a general. And people, who rarely acknowledge me, suddenly act like we've been best friends for years. This never happens to me when I'm bloated.

But there are times when my face is neither bloated nor lean, but average-looking. This allows me to blend in with other people. I often prefer this, since I can go about my business, undisturbed. After all, if I can't take advantage of my looks because they are short-lived, what's the point?
For this reason, I've learned to ignore women (and sometimes treat them with outright contempt), even when they flirt with me. I consider this payback for when these twats treated me poorly due to my looks. It's poetic justice. If women can't treat me like a human being when I'm ugly, then they don't deserve me when I become Prince Charming.

But, hubris aside, I feel like a freak who's concealing a deep secret, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, who constantly shapeshifts into different people. Sometimes, I look like an average Joe. But every now and then, I assume the appearance of a Chad, or even an incel.
But these changes in my appearance give me a unique perspective. They allow me to witness firsthand how women discriminate against men based on their looks. One moment, they want to fuck me, the next, I'm being avoided, as if I have leprosy. It can feel like an emotional roller coaster ride not knowing how I will be received at any given moment.

Bloating not only affects my sexual prospects, but it can sometimes cause people to underestimate my intelligence and assume that I'm a weakling. This is because it can make me take on a soft, rounded and goofy appearance. This pisses me off even more than being rejected by women. It's gotten me into several verbal confrontations and a couple of actual fights. So, my condition doesn't only affect me aesthetically, it can be downright dangerous to my safety.

I've tried several diets and countless exercise programs over the years, mistakenly assuming that I was harboring excess fat. I've even resorted to fasting, and was shocked to find out that I can swell up, despite having an empty stomach! I soon realized that bloating was the culprit, which is far more insidious and harder to eliminate than fat. In fact, bloating can rear its ugly head, even when I'm quite slender.

Another approach I took to eliminate facial bloating was to try various creams, which contained diuretics, such as caffeine, that you rub on your face. These all proved to be impractical for daily use for various reasons.

So, about 4 years ago, I visited a gastroenterologist, when it finally became apparent that I had a medical condition, which was likely coming from my stomach, or intestines.

The doctor performed several tests, and diagnosed me with a "cow's milk allergy". He advised me to avoid all dairy for 2 weeks, and see how it goes.

After a 2-week abstinence from dairy, I did notice some improvement, but the bloating still appeared from time to time throughout the day, albeit not as severe as before. My sex and social life, however, had not improved, and people were still treating me like shit whenever I swelled up. Clearly, something besides dairy was wreaking havoc on my system.

So, I started doing some online research on my condition, and made some interesting discoveries.

Apparently, bloating only affects women, at least that's the impression I got from the countless gynocentric articles that came up. It's either that, or the people who wrote these articles just don't give a shit about men who suffer from this problem.

Also, did you know that bloating only affects the belly, leaving the rest of the body mercifully intact?
That's right. Silly me. Here I was, obsessing for years over my distended face, head and neck, when the whole time, every mirror that I ever stood in front of had been malfunctioning. And all those women, who recoiled in horror at my facial appearance, as if I was Nosferatu, the vampire? That was all in my mind.

So, here I am on this forum. This is my last resort. Hope you guys can shed some light on what's ailing me.

Thanks

jfl you can cut out carbs, cut your daily calories down to 1500 and still not lose any bloat in your face. I'm getting back on cardarine to speed this up

Bloat is mainly inflammation, so its true. But in general keto will make you lose bloat. Idk if cutting calories too much is a good idea though due to collagen and hormones, might have the opposite effect.

I'm hoping retinoids/retinol and the massive stack of supplements I'm taking can suffice to maintain my collagen. I haven't really lost any energy like when I first cut carbs so I think my hormones are fine for now. I just want hollow cheeks again, definitely took it for granted when I was sitting at 178lbs

Those prescription pills for fluid build up would probably help with flare ups.

 

[Deleted member 19957]

It's not just fluid. It's also gas and something else, that I can't put my finger on, that causes inflammation.

Yeah, go stick a dildo up your ass, you raunchy, worthless hood rat.

dnr feel bad for u

 

[jxck7468]

well i get very bad sinus bloating in winters mostly so I can relate, really throws me from a htn to sub lmao. dm me i got something for you.

 

[IAMNOTANINCEL]

Just eat raw meat

 

[CyberPsychodelic]

I speak in spanish

Brother, let me tell you something, is happening the same to me, but as an body language expert, let me tell you the following wich is Mind Blowing

(hear me out) when you are lean, you look less dismorphic because your face is more narrow (your zygos and your bigonial) hence men and woman look less scared to look at you

And when you are bloated, your face is wider, your zygos and your bigonial, so you are more dismorphic, and men are scared to look at you, and woman as well, is not they avoid eye contact with you because you turn ugly, is because thety see you as more Alpha/Tough than when you are lean with a narrow face

I repeat bro, they see you as a more dismorphic men when bloated, that is why they are more cautious and subtle to look at you

Can i ask you, how are men reactions when you are lean vs bloated? (will tell you the fix very soon)

I have been battling a very similar condition since 2019. It's almost like a variation of IBS but more constipation and bloated. I basically eat a meal then am both constipated, bloated, and have gas for at least 12 hours after. Right now ive finally gotten somewhat of a handle on it thank god. Basically I have to eat the cleanest diet on planet earth. No soy, added sugar, dairy, meat, or high fat meals. I can't eat more than half my bodyweight in protein or I get indigestion. And I have to eat at least 300 grams of carbs a day and under 60 grams of fat or I will have no pooping all day. I take in cayenne pepper till it makes my tongue burn and stomach hurt, drink salt water after every meal to digest it properly, eat 40 percent fruit, vegan, no carbonated beverages, no trans fats, little sodium. It makes eating very unenjoyable but its better to eat cardboard and not be bloated 24/7.

i recently moved back to morocco and the bloating disapears when u leave america, bro its insane. In the us if i had a regular meal am fucking inflated, here its only like 10%. obviously am bloated now but not because of the food but cus i had 4 plates of rice but thats normal, it aint something to do with u, its the chemicals in american food trust

When I'm lean, men treat me with admiration and respect, as if I'm their tribe leader.
When I'm bloated, they're dismissive of me, regardless of what I do or how I act.
If I try to act Alpha when bloated, people get annoyed with me, as if I'm a rundown 1997 Toyota Corolla veering off into the wrong traffic lane.
I also look substantially older when I bloat, which alienates me from everyone even further.

Great point!

I noticed this too when I lived in Sicily years ago. It has something to do not only with the food, but also with the climate. However, my bloating is so bad, so organic, that it even acted up there, albeit not nearly as much.
Nonetheless, even a little bloating caused women to be hostile and standoffish towards me.
