I’m going through the menopause and have struggled terribly with my stomach, bloating, wind and general discomfort. I take a probiotic called Optibac, which really helps. I also use a tincture made from a teaspoon of Turmeric, hot water, honey and a little coconut milk, give it a good stir and drink through a straw.
I’ve just taken some tonight as my stomach wasn’t happy, I’m feeling the benefit already. I only have a small shot glass size and the coconut milk is to lessen the taste of turmeric.
I’ve also altered my diet and follow the 16:8 intermittent fasting regime. My digestive system feels so much better, as a bonus I’ve lost a stone in weight, which is what I’ve gained during the menopause. I’m also as regular as clockwork, which is great as the menopause really buggered that up. I’ve also given up alcohol, my body couldn’t cope with it.
I start my day off with porridge oats mixed with various nuts and seeds, with fruit and plain yoghurt, it fills me for hours. I’m down to two meals a day and find it’s sufficient.
I take HRT and find that the whole mix just works for me. It’s taken a few years to get there but I’m on top of it now and feel brilliant for it, 🤗
