If it’s causing pain or even if you’re just very uncomfortable then yeah it wouldn’t hurt to get it checked. Especially if you have frequent diarrhea/ constipation. Otherwise, if you just don’t like how it looks and you feel ok then I don’t think it’s necessary to tell your dr. Also, I used to bloat BAD before I started working out and now my stomach is usually flat. Like I used to look freaking pregnant sometimes but now it’s just a normal/ small amount of bloating when I eat

you may be sensitive to histamine like i am. i take an h-1 antihistamine (like zyrtec, claritin) and a pepcid and it works shockingly well for my worst symptoms. (disclaimer: talk to your doctor first, this is not medical advice blah blah blah )
