Selena Gomez<\/strong><\/a> is proud of her body and all that it has been through, despite having to once again defend herself against body shamers<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSelena loves her body,\u201d a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em> on Tuesday, November 12. \u201cAnd after everything that it\u2019s been through, she refuses to let anyone make her feel differently.\u201d<\/p>\n The Only Murders in the Building<\/em> star, 32, appeared to cover her stomach with her hands while posing on the red carpet for a screening of her film Emilia Perez<\/em> during the American French Film Festival in Los Angeles on October 29.<\/p>\n In a since-deleted TikTok video featuring photos from the event where several people made cruel comments about her weight, Selena responded to set the record straight about how angry she was about being body-shamed, while revealing she\u2019s suffering from a previously undisclosed health issue.<\/p>\n \u201cThis makes me sick. I have SIBO in my small intestine. It flares up,\u201d she wrote in the comments section, according to a screenshot obtained by The Daily Mail<\/em><\/a>. The acronym stands for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, which can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t care that I don\u2019t look like a stick figure. I don\u2019t have that body. End of story,\u201d the \u201cSingle Soon\u201d songstress continued. \u201cNo, I am NOT a victim. I\u2019m just human.\u201d<\/p>\n Selena has suffered from a number of health issues<\/a> over the years. She underwent a kidney transplant<\/a> in 2017 due to organ damage from her ongoing battle with the autoimmune disease lupus.<\/p>\n One year later when Selena was photographed by the paparazzi wearing a bikini during a trip to Australia, some trolls came after her for not having the swimsuit figure she had before her surgery, even though her scar<\/a> was clearly visible.<\/p>\n
