Is an upset stomach a symptom of the menopause?

Lowering oestrogen can affect the lining of the digestive system, making it more sensitive and prone to irritation, so some women do find that their digestion changes and causes problems.

You may find a soya supplement helpful as this is traditionally used to gently raise and balance oestrogen or you could try Sea Buckthorn Oil Capsules as this is known to help with inflammatory digestive disorders.

Check your diet now as well and try to avoid high salt and sugar foods, processed foods and cut right back on wheat and dairy products as these can all cause digestive upset.
