This is the prolapse of the abdominal organs, skin and/or muscles due to sudden Weight loss.
These organs are supported by the abdominal fat and if this is lost suddenly there is a tendency for the stomach, intestines and kidneys to pro-lapse (fall) thus placing strain on the ligaments and producing a fatigued condition. Kinks and spasms may result. The stomach may so drop as to interfere with its proper emptying, resulting in food retention with consequent fermentation. In weight reducing attention should be given to the training of the abdominal muscles or the wearing of a proper abdominal support for a minimum length of time, until muscles regain their tone.
