this might be one of the most retarded questions i've asked, but here it goes...what exactly do you think when you hear or say the phrase "feeling bloated"? do you refer to the stomach or intestines?
I think of it as more of a stomach thing. not intestines. that's a different word.
I think of that feeling when you overeat and your stomach is bulging out.
Definitely eating or drinking too much liquid. If it's intestines you'd probably feel constipated.
>>21627017I think it's when my belly around where my button is, becomes swelled up, which I take to be a result of gas forming inside the intestines. When I'm really full immediately after eating I don't think of that as being bloated.
>>21627026>If it's intestines you'd probably feel constipated.OP here, i think this is what >>21627018 meant by "different word" but that's not what i mean(at least, not completely)when i say "intestines" i mean when you feel the pressure of either gas or constipation(but mostly gas) pushing outwards.
i searched the back catalog and found an even split of people using "bloated" when referring to both the stomach and the intestine.
>>21627350I hate people like this:>uhhhh X gives me stomach problems>do you really mean stomach or do you just get the shits and mean intestines?>what???
>>21627017They mean the instestines, even when they say stomach
>>21627017yes
>>21627017i think it's when you feel unnaturally full when you don't have any reason to be. usually being full of gas, without passing it (far*ing)
>>21627017definitely intestinespeople say stomach/tummy to refer to their belly but the belly is the intestines
>>21627518when you answer someone's question and they act dumbfounded like they don't know what you're talking about makes me viscerally mad. the fact that I've mastered the art of perfect procrastination and not doing things that I want to do until I absolutely have to has probably saved me from catching several 25-to-life charges for this exact reason, because I'd be turning these mental midgets' faces purple for having the gall to act like I'M the retard because they can't comprehend an answer.
>>21627563no, see.you're just being an insufferable cunt for needing to speak literal instead of in colloquialisms like a sane person.
>>21627600>"hey anon, do you want to go to the club?">no>"why not?">i won't like it>"how do you know you won't like it?">you don't have to try things to know you won't like them>"you don't know if you don't try!">I don't have to eat shit to know I don't like eating shit>"you're comparing going to the club to eating shit?! lmao"no bullshit, this is how this exact conversation happened like a decade ago. They thought I was comparing the club to shit when clearly I'm drawing a parallel between the two to prove the logic that you don't have to try everything to know you don't like it.
>>21627625>a decade agoget the fuck over it sperganon
>>21627625they just wanted a dance partner, anon.
bloated means intestines and refers to gas buildup
>>21627563Wtf are you even saying you autist
>>21627649it's not something I contantly think about, faggot. it's just a conversation that stands out to me because when I think of this individual there's a slew of funny interactions we've had with each other and that was one of the more frustrating ones. it's not my fault that you're some dopamine-fried zoomer that has no frame of reference beyond a 10 minute span of time.>>21627656she was married
>>21627017when people feel bloated they think it's their stomach, but because people are fucking retarded and know nothing of anatomy, they think their stomach is where their intestines are.
>>21627660I only feel bloated for a moment. I just fart profusely all day, like our founding fathers intended.
>>21627017>what exactly do you think when you hear or say the phrase "feeling bloated"? I think about showering in the morning after a night of heavy drinking and looking down and my belly is sticking out mostly obstructing my dick. I'm not even close to fat.
bloating can refer to gas build up, being extremely full, inflammation from a viral or bacterial infection, being constipated, water retention or a combination of these
>>21627017feeling bloated feels like abdominal distension, like your guts suddenly grew by a factor of 3 and the few things you do to feel relief is taking a massive shit...well for me at least. I eat a shit ton of probiotics just to avoid feeling bloated because that's one of the worst feelings for me
>>21628842sometimes I'm so bloated that I look 15 pounds heavier and my stomach sticks out like an inch further than normal. I don't even fart I just feel uncomfortable stomach pressure.
>>21627625anon, I don't know how to tell you this, but you were the retard in that situation.
>>21627625Don’t feel too bad anon that’s how I typically talk
>>21628857OP here, i think what this thread has taught me is that both definitions are used to some degree.
>>21627017>lower intestine overgrowth (fermentation/gas/bad bacteria/colonization of particular parts of the gut of good bacteria into the turf of another's to a deleterious point)Bowels. But bowels has a more fecal valence. So we say gut. Stuffed is for when your stomach's full.
>>21627017both
>>21627017Distended gut, water retention swelling face, abdomen, and legs, the feeling of flatulence that remains unreleased, tight pants, smelly piss, if in active it feels like my body is rotting away but moving around significantly reduces the bloat.No idea what fat "people" feel when bloated.
>>21627625holy fucking kek, meeting autistic autists in the wild is always rewarding, this never fails to be endearing, please share with us some more of your ""conversations""
>>21627600Yes, you should speak literal when talking about health issues.
>>21627672>this conversation from 10 years ago with a married woman stands out to meking cuck
>>21627017i thought it was to do with my uterus
>>21630147You probably need to get that checked.
>>21630217it keeps growing i'm not sure why
>>21630226It's either a baby, or a really bad infection.
>>21627017I have UC and take mesalamine (side effect being gas a lot, so I pop simethicone like candy), so "bloated" means intestinal.
