The most obvious sign of a diastasis recti is a protruding belly—the proverbial “guy gut.” Another is a protruding belly button, or “outie,” is an absolute telltale indication that a person has a diastasis. This has nothing to do with a person’s weight or fitness level, it is because their recti muscles are apart.
You might mistake a diastasis for a chubby guy gut, but much to the person’s frustration, it still sticks out and hangs there even with diet or general exercise.
WHAT CAUSES A LARGE GUY GUT?
The most likely cause of the bulge in either of the cases above is the internal organs pressing through the space created by a diastasis between the abdominal muscles. So be prepared: your big guy gut might not be fat— your organs might be literally sticking out!
WHAT PROBLEMS DOES A LARGE GUY GUT LEAD TO?
It goes without saying, when your organs are thrusted forward, you’re open tor a host of gastrointestinal problems. Who could be comfortable when their guts are stuffed into the wrong place?
These are some of the problems that it could lead to:
- Poor posture
- Back pain
- Bloating after eating
- GI(Gastro-Intestinal) issues
- Hernia, in extreme cases
- Constipation
