Hi, I'm new here. Also having trouble with food. Lots of pains and aches, wind, bloating, reflux, diarrhoea and constipation. Does HRT help with that? Or is it an ageing problem? These issues have started in perimenopause, they are less troublesome now but still there on a weekly basis, I'd say. I've tried to change my diet many times, including upping water intake, eating lots of vegetables, fruits, decreasing carbs (oddly this has ruined my life, constant loose stools), I don't eat meat, fish, practically no dairy. Not taking meds, except for vit b12, 3 times a week. I eat some rubbish food now and then, pizza, ice cream, biscuits, but just as a treat. What else can I do? Thanks in advance.
