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 postureBack painBloating after eatingGI(Gastro-Intestinal) issuesHernia, in extreme casesConstipation If you want to learn how to check yourself for a diastasis, watch the video "CHECKING FOR A DIASTASIS RECTI" here.The Tupler Technique® is a prescription for core-strength to treat abdominal separation for women, men, & children wanting a flatter belly, strong back & smaller waist.
