Is It Possible for Me to Feel my Intestine Through my Diastasis Recti?

It is certainly possible to feel your intestines through your diastasis. The tissue left between your muscles is quite thin. You must be thin. 

Yes, it is possible to palpate your intestines and other internal organs through your abdominal wall.  When you have a diastasis or separation of your rectus muscles, it makes the abdominal contents more prominent and also gives a roundness to your abdomen.  That is why diastasis repair is so effective at flattening your abdomen when done in conjunction with a full abdominoplasty.

 

Good Luck.

Thank you for the question.

It would have to be  relatively extreme case of diastasis recti for a person to be able to feel their gastrointestinal tract. The vast majority of patients with diastasis recti do not. On the other hand, patients with an abdominal wall hernia (true defect of the abdominal wall fascia) may be able to  feel intra-abdominal organs ( for example with straining coughing etc.).
