Hi Lajo9 I'm not on any HRT, and I had been complaining of stomach cramps and constant gurgling any time of day. Went on so long, was referred to gastro - just diagnosed with possible IBS-D. I noticed in the last 2 years, I cannot tolerate even slightly spicy foods. Which then sets if off. I started taking Sea Buckthorn Oil Capsuls 5 weeks ago. Both symptoms along with the few hot spells seem to have calmed a bit. Still have lots of pain all over though. All the best. X
