I have been getting hot flushes for nearly three years now. I have tried all sorts of remedies; blach cohosh, evening primrose oil and serenity cream. They seem to work short term but after a short while they stopped working. Someone suggested sage which I bought. Sadley I cannot take them as they are in capsule form and contain gelatin. I am a vegetarian and will not take gelatin capsules. I also have put on alot of weight in the last two tears and cannot lose it whatever I try. Do you have any advice for me?

You could try our sage tablets these do not contain gelatine. Unfortunately, falling oestrogen can cause a problem with carbohydrate metabolism in some women making it very easy to put on weight and practically impossible to lose regardless of how little you eat or how much exercise. You may find cutting carbs right down and increasing protein and veg helps here, have a look at the Low GL Diet - for more info on this see Amazon.
