How good is your digestion?

Check nowDigestive problems are very common in the menopause and can be caused by several factors.
Falling levels of oestrogen can affect the digestion itself, causing bloating.
Falling oestrogen levels can also have an effect on carb metabolism, making it more difficult to digest carbohydrates, and this can often lead to bloating and the symptoms you describe.
I would suggest Molkosan Vitality, as this is traditionally used for bloating. Try to avoid white bread, pasta, cakes, biscuits and also white rice - you may notice a difference very quickly doing this!
I’m glad your doctor has been so thorough, as this means many possible factors have been ruled out and you can focus on dietary alterations, etc.
If you are getting other menopausal symptoms too, you may find that using a plant oestrogen such as Menopause Support will help with both your digestion and the other symptoms.
