bumpy thing inside the stomach

I have a big stomach, it gets bigger if I gain weight (and I'm a pear!). but when I hold my stomach or sucking it in (I always do this in public, unconsciously since I feel fat if I don't) I feel something hard underneath and... bumpy. like there's a wall with a lot of tiny bumps beneath the skin/fat layer. my sister said you're right! it's weird but it could be muscles, I wish it was but although I'm exercising, I doubt it's muscle and I'm sure of it. so does any of you know what it is? I've tried googling and most results were about early pregnancy but lol I'm not pregnant. it would be great though if it's just muscle so it means I just need to focus on shedding the fat. at the same time, I think it could be a by-product from the habit of holding my stomach for so long, on the sides, the bumps are not there and so is the hard 'wall'. I've always wondering why my stomach has always been big so maybe I could find some answers to this.

    Are they all over your entire belly, or just one spot, like the center or sides?

    I have them too. I think they are the swollen fat cells I can feel on top of my muscle layer

    Same thing here. Lumpy fat I assume.

    Cellulite, probably.

    Are you talking around belly button or pelvic bone? I've notice feeling something kind of above/behind pelvic bone if I press down...more so when standing up. And I only find info about pregnancy too...maybe our bladders?

    I hate how the more I lose, the more my stomach seems bigger...I guess it's true about the first place to gain is the last to go, hate it!

    Would love to know more about the bumpy wall in our stomachs?

    Hernia?

    Fibroids?

    None of us can really guess...your best bet is probably to go to a doctor to get it checked out.

    the center, from the lowest point of my ribcage to my lower belly.

    lol I wish they were muscles. muscles are smooth though, said google.
    Cellulite, probably.
    my thighs has it but they don't feel bumpy... they just look bumpy. the thing inside my stomach feels like hard wall with little bumps :/

    oh please no :( I do have some navel pain from time to time, but not too worrying.
    it's really weird, no one knows exactly what it is. maybe people just consider it another genetic trait. but maybe it's a symptom that goes undetected.

    around the belly button, extends to below the breast bone. I can feel it around my pelvic bone too but it's also around my belly if I press harder.
    yeah! my stomach shrink as I lose weight though but it still protrudes :laugh: they say pear ladies have a flat stomach but I guess I'm also an apple.
