Bloating (but good news about flushes too)
« on: August 27, 2015, 06:41:41 AM »

Morning

I know I can't attribute everything to the menopause but is bloating a common problem? I've always had IBS and tummy bloat all my adult life but this is different, my upper abdomen from under my bust bloats too and I feel huge - it comes and goes but certainly eating brings it on. I've put 2.5 lb on in a week.

Taking soya and sage tablets - can't see it being them as the cause.

Had scan on ovaries recently so don't think it's anything sinister there although me being me I've not ruled out other serious stomach diseases :( Fed up of worrying every second of every day and it's definitely getting worse - the anxiety - I'm an anxious person but this is off the scale :(

Sorry for this mini rant but you all make me feel so much better!

On a brighter note I do think the sage is helping the hot sweats - they are reduced in frequency and intensity.  xx

Hi Sparkle

I don't get any heartburn or anything like that. I am going to give it a few weeks and see my GP if it doesn't go. And I will also try and stay off Google ;) x
