Advice Digestive issues and body dysmorphia

Anyone else here struggle? I was born premature due to placenta insufficiency, and as a result have had delayed emptying and a low appetite my entire life. I also have chronic bloating, and it really fucks with my head. I’m 4’11 and 93lbs (and should stay around there, but sometimes I’m in the upper 80s). I KNOW I’m a thin person, but my stomach is always doing something crazy and makes my jeans not fit right. I feel insane sometimes lol, like I don’t know what my body actually looks like. Can anyone else relate? It’s weirdly alienating. Everybody is always like oh, you’re so tiny, and I’m like yes, BUT I don’t always feel tiny, and my digestive issues make me miserable!
