[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 246848, member: 15235"] A few ideas...1) Your report that this dissipates somewhat overnight suggests a possible digestive issue as well. You might want to investigate digestive enzymes and doing a multi-day fast. The fast would obviously not be a permanent fix but if that resolved the problem temporarily it would be a major clue that the issue is digestive. 2) I have heard numerous reports of people who went on a carnivore diet and had this issue resolve, which again is an easy low-risk thing to try and would again point toward digestion. 3) You maybe dealing with something like SIBO or some other related micro-biome/intestinal issue. 4) I have noticed that I have the least bloating and am at my abdominal leanest when I microdose metformin so that is another thing to try and it is reported to improve the gut-bacteria composition by raising akkermansia. For me microdosing is 250mg no more than once per day and only before a high-carb meal which I only do a couple of times per week, if at all. 5) I have heard of infections such as fungal infections causing something similar so that another thing to check. 6) If you have not had your insulin checked that is another thing to try. I have heard a theory that insulin resistance causes the involuntary layer of muscle that holds the organs in place to be unable to intake insulin and therefore become weaker which allows the organs to extend out, however that seem unlikely to resolve at night so I would not make that the highest priority.
