Digestive issues linked to hormones - solutions?
As I've gotten older and am in perimenopause, I'm struggling with digestive issues, particularly bloating, very slow digestion, and a feeling of "fullness" (which prevents me from getting enough fluids since I cannot "fit" them in my stomach). It's definitely tied to hormones, but not cyclically - mostly related it seems to ovulatory vs. anovulatory cycles. I've not found much by way of searching online regarding solutions. So I'm wondering if anyone has had or is having similar experiences and what you've done about it?

Re: Digestive issues linked to hormones - solutions?
Have you noticed a pattern of certain foods causing more of an issue than others?

Re: Digestive issues linked to hormones - solutions?
I had become lactose intolerant. First thing to do is cut that out and next try gluten IMO.

Re: Digestive issues linked to hormones - solutions?
Do you think digestive enzymes might be needed?
Sadly gallbladder issues might be at play. |

Re: Digestive issues linked to hormones - solutions?
I don't really have suggestions, just comaraderie. I had serious digestive issues during perimenopause. My dr didn't have advice either. I reduced my diet to essentiallly meat and vegetables, so basically cutting out carbs and anything processed. That was the only thing that helped, but it didn't help enough. It's hard.

What's your sugar intake like? Have you had fasting blood sugar checked? When that is off, your other hormones are likely to be off, too.
