   think cod liver oil and rose hip syrup? or worse. 

My gut always rolls after my mid-afternoon cuppa .......... I think that's when my wind problems and reflux threaten to begin.  I can't burp .....

[Lynda07]

Ah ok, thanks Taz2. I've gone for Blessed.

Jaypo, oh no is it really that bad - oh well at least I'm forewarned now.

Oh CLKD you're making it sound lovely - not - lol. I hope you are ok this afternoon?

I took the first dose of Peptac today. That is a huge step for me as I have an absolute phobia about medication which can be very unhelpful. I live to tell the tale I think I do feel a little better already, still got post nasal drip type symptoms but my stomach doesn't feel as raw. Had a few moments when I feel I keep needed to swallow but can't but - that does go away when I don't think about it.

I still wish I knew what was causing it though.

[CLKD]

Lack of oestrogen probably.

Lynda,I have drunk coffee for years and have discovered just recently it is the culprit for my reflux,do you drink it?
 MY CBD tasted like I was chewing cigarettes 🤮

Hi Lynda07, another thing that might be worth you looking into/trying is probiotics. I have been taking them now for a few years after years of reflux & IBS was on Omeprazole then Ranitadine, umpteen boxes of Rennies, Gaviscon and buscopan later probiotics & improved diet has generally made things so much better. That said I did have a bad spell for 2 weeks there out of the blue but the rest of my peri symptoms also went a bit out of control & bleeding irratically etc it has now settled again. I also love Inverness & Invernessshire, many happy memories there. x

Same here foxy,started taking that Yeo yogurt with the probiotic in,seemed to help my reflux too but also had a bit of a blip few weeks ago but think it's just a shift in hormones tbh the nausea was awful but apparently a lot of women have the same,which is reassuring,god bless this site and the wonderful women on it 

[Lynda07]

Thank you once again for all of this support, it has helped me so much this week.

CLKD, yes probably is that.

Jaypo, I'm not a coffee drinker at all, I  do drink wine and I am guessing that's going to have to come off my list And  could not agree more, god bless this site! Re the CBD - it sounds delicious lol - I guess you have taken it with medication such as the Peptac I am taking? I could't see anything to tell me I shouldn't. I

Thankyou Sparkle, I appreciate that.

Foxylady - strange you should say that as I ordered some probiotics which came this week. What changes did you make to your diet? Keeping my food diary tells me what I knew - I eat too much bread. A lot of eggs too. I'm sorry to hear you had a bad spell.

And yes, Inverness/shire - it's just lovely. We went out for the day today and Autumn is starting to show her colours.

Once again - thank you!! PS - had two lots of heart palpitations today, I am really hoping this is not yet another thing for me to worry about.

Have a lovley evening all of you xx

[jaypo]

Oh nooooo wine  me too and I'm determined I'm not giving up my one last pleasure in life.
Palpations are just another meno symptom    but get it checked if you're worried

[Lynda07]

Does that mean you still drink wine Jaypo? I know it’s not ideal but it’s my one treat, that one hour or so at night where I can relax and later sleep well.

Thank you for that, I’m hoping they were one offs but it’s reassuring to know they are meno symptoms too.

56, no period for 5 ish years - time for this to end soon hopefully!

[jaypo]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS I still drink wine  only two glasses on a Friday and two on a Saturday but you're right,it's lovely to sit down at the end of the week,put a film on and have a nice glass of wine . I've had palpations for years now,kind of just ignore them now but I have had a few ecg's over the years,always best to get it checked

[Foxylady]

Lynda07, diet changes just doing what we should all be doing really - being better at eating a healthy varied diet. Worked shifts previously which made it really difficult re eating a balanced diet. Also started the 5:2 diet (800 calories for 2 days) a few years ago, lost over 2 stone & recently have taken to doing alot of cycling. The idea was really to reduce my weight & get fitter to try and reduce my peri symptoms. I had to give up the alcohol, tried various forms but the flushing starts instantly, not worth it for me! x

[jaypo]

Come on foxy,us Scottish lasses are tougher than that, me drinking my wine🥵🍷 😂

[Foxylady]

 

[jaypo]

How you doing foxy?

[CLKD]

It doesn't seem to be what I eat but when  .

Also my first cuppa at breakfast tastes wonderful but by mid-afternoon it's foul  so I tend to drink Coke.  Have tried various types of orange drinks without success.  Fizzy water occasionally when really hot weather.  This afternoon's cuppa has given me wind
