Sport Fitness
I am 23 and have being a gym fanatic the past couple of years. I'm March I was 54kg, now it is 57kg, measurements have stayed the same, but I feel bloated and fat :(

What is wrong with me and how do I fix it? Thanks :)
 
Could well be related to what you are putting in your mouth and or issues / complications in your digestion. With limited info its hard to pin point whats up but from personal experience I get bloating from food that is higher in salt and fats than I am used to, also from excessive travelling. I have sometimes found it from too much sugars and also from dehydration.
Hope that is of some help to you.
 
I do suffer from IBS so that could be linked to it. I have been told before it could be leaky gut or malabsorption
 
The doctor doesn't listen, hence, talking to over people. There is only so many times I can get tested for Celiacs and given Colofac
 
I don't mean this to sound mean or anything but have you considered that this is a mental issue and there's no bloating? You have a history of eating disorders and you still sound pretty hung up on your weight and what's going in your mouth, maybe a lot of the bloated feeling is caused my mental anxiety over your increased consumption.

You've seen the doctor and had tests, maybe you should put faith in your diagnosis

I know, I know, it sounds like I am overanalysing this :(

A few weeks ago, I saw my ex PT. She told me that she can tell I've put on weight, that it looks like I've put on weight. That I am not as defined in the upper body as I was before when she was training me.

This is coming from the same person that helped me overcome bulimia and made me addicted to exercise.

So I DO know I've put on weight and I can feel it. Dunno how else to explain it

She's also after your business back, I don't think any ethical trainer would tell an ex-bulimic that it looks like their putting on fat, especially one that's still very light weight.

I hoenstly believe that someone with a history of eating disorders should listen to a doctor over a personal trainer. That's just my opinion though.

Have you thought of asking your family if you're putting on fat?

I totally agree. Anyone with a half a heart, trainer or not, would not say something like that. I wouldn't even go with the family on this one though. I second doctor over PT by far.

How long have you felt like this? I'm not quite sure how you gained 6 and a half pounds and none of the measurements changed. Are you sure?

Yes I am sure. The same person did the measurements and they all stayed the same. When it came to measuring BF%, my PT used the callipers and the main difference was in my arms. So it is muscle that been put on, you can feel underneath my bloatiness that the abs are hard, I am just feeling really bloated. I think I will start another thread about this PT and let you know the whole story...
