HRT absolutely helps and low estrogen triggers many digestive problems. Upping my estrogen resolved acidity though it's also really important to look after gut health through diet (eg fermented foods & probiotics), exercise, relaxation techniques.

That’s so interesting and good to know as I suffer from acid reflux as well. Thanks so much for posting X
