Selena Gomez gets fed up and responds to body shaming with explanation about her bowel

Selena Gomez responded to criticism about her body following her appearance on the red carpet for the movie "Emilia Perez" in Los Angeles. The 32-year-old actress and singer wore a tight black dress and was seen posing with her hand on her stomach, leading some TikTok users to speculate that she was trying to hide her figure.

In response to the negative comments, Gomez expressed her discomfort, revealing that she suffers from small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, a condition that can cause bloating and other uncomfortable symptoms.

"This makes me sick. I have SIBO in my small intestine. It gets inflamed," was Gomez's response to comments from a user on X.

In her comments, Gomez made it clear that she doesn't care about not having a thin body, stating:

"I don't have that body. End of story. I'm not a victim. I'm just human."

Selena Gomez's health problems

Since her lupus diagnosis in 2013 and kidney transplant in 2017, she has been open about her health struggles. She recently also shared that she cannot have children due to medical issues that would put her and the baby at risk, which was a difficult subject for her.

Despite these challenges, Gomez maintains a positive outlook, expressing gratitude for the motherhood options she has, such as surrogacy and adoption.

"Unfortunately... I have a lot of medical problems that would put my life and my baby's life at risk. That was something I had to mourn for a while," she told Vanity Fair.

The support of his current partner

As for her personal life, Benny Blanco, whom she has been dating since July 2023, has expressed his desire to start a family with her. Gomez responded to his comments about the future of their relationship with humor, while celebrating their connection and the love she feels for him.

Gomez has become an example of how to approach body and health with honesty, defending her right to be herself regardless of the expectations of others. Her stance highlights the importance of mental health and self-love in public life.
