Digestive issues often go hand-in-hand with The Change. Hormonal fluctuations always made me nauseous, really thirsty, irritable, bloated ........ by mid-day I couldn't keep a skirt done up as my belly was so big.
Drink plenty but not too much. Add fruits and veg gradually to your diet and cut out any processed foods. Foods that we could eat often become un-digestable as we age. As does alcohol.
Low VitD levels can cause intense tiredness so I have started swallowing tablets twice a day. Also, crashing fatigue is common in peri-menopause.
I have slow transit in that my bowel rarely feels empty: even when I've been it feels as though I need to 'go again'
. We have threads on that too! Some find that using a 'laxative' such as Dicoloux (?) helpful occasionally.
