so when I first became ill, I had always been thin and kinda toned. Then - I got even more ab-toned. Then a massotherapist bad ass told me that that was indicative of how unhealthy my body had become - that it was primarily fibrous tissue that wasn't getting any blood. He did visceral massage each week for a month or so, very painful, including liver massage. Poof - I had a little tiny belly! lolol
