Thanks. I haven't eaten anything different, lots of things have already been cut from diet due to bloating and diarrhoea. I've kept a food diary for many months, no rhyme or reason. It must be a change in my system. Maybe just ageing. I'm not panicking, yet.

That's good.   Michael Moseley's book about the gut is a good guide as it explains how different foods are processed.  Of course I can't remember the name of the book but it reassured me !

Thanks, I'll have a look, I like him. I have already asked but no one has replied, does HRT help with digestive issues? I had many blood tests done before the pandemic and they were all OK, so it must be related to menopause or is it just ageing? I remember my mum had digestive issues but she had a hiatus hernia, I don't. She didn't use HRT.

Is it 'The Clever Guts Diet'?

That might well be it    have you read it?  I was interested in how long foods take to be digested and it reassured me.  I have very little knowledge of how my body works ............ until I begin to feel queasy!

No, not yet, it has been mentioned on another thread I've been reading just now.

Actually I'm reading another book on the same matter, I had to retrieve the title though, it's long and funny. It has been reprinted recently, I have the kindle version. It's called

"Intestinal Ills/chronic constipation, indigestion, autogenetic poisons, diarrhea, piles, etc, also auto-infection, anemia, emaciation, etc, due to proctitis and colitis" by Alcinous B. Jamison. First edition was 1915!!

I'm not joking, the book is very interesting.

HRT can help with various problems thrown our way during peri-menopause.  It is Trial and Error.

I'm having problems  .  Can't replace my energy so feel queasy = anorexic risks  .  Need to eat more bananas but they have to be 'right', same with grapes for grazing ........ gone off nuts
