Stomach Tightening Exercises?

My 55 year old male '9 month pregnancy' gluten belly is starting to recede a bit now that I am gluten free. I don't have too much fat, in fact I have visible abs, but I think the constant strain on the muscles has affected the tone. Has anyone had this problem?  Any exercises or anything that might help! The Mom's might have some ideas! Thanks!

Continue to lose weight by making healthy food choices. Then increase your exercise and lift some weights to build bone and muscle.

Going gluten-free does not mean weight loss will occur. I just started baking gluten-free cookies and cakes!

I did lose and have maintained my weight on a low carb high FAT diet for diabetes. I basically eat to my meter. Eat too many carbs and I have proof that my blood glucose levels go up. It is a great motivator! I had a normal BMI to start and blamed my 15 to 20 pound weight gain over the years to pregnancy and middle age despite my high levels of exercise. My hubby is on the same diet and he is losing weight (though not as fast as he cheats....) and his cholesterol panel results already show an increase in HDL and his triglycerides were cut in half. Our GP was impressed and we are now basically a clinical experiment that he is following.

I feel great about being the same size I had been in my teens, 20's and 30's. I finally realized that diet (sugar did me in) really counts. I only lost a few pounds when I trained for 100 mile bike rides.

Something to research and think about!

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!

      Just a quick question, can the host live in any state in the USA?
