Peri-menopause & flatulence/wind!

[dingledongle]

Yet another symptom?

Gurgling tummy, bloating, burping and farting (sorry tmi)

This seems to get worse as the day goes on.

Anyone else experience this? Suggestions?

Fed up!

I hear you!

Yes I’m here too horrendous.

Will it improve?

Does anything help?

Feel like I will explode 😁😳

Yes!

do you also get a bilious or bitter taste in your mouth and throat, and have slightly yucky wet and shiny-ish motions? Sorry, far tmi. Had a liver function test recently but all is well.

Yes jackdawyawn my diet is no different but the way my body is digesting it is!

Do you find it gets worse as the day goes on?

I’ve changed to a very low carb diet and my digestion has thanked me for it. Weirdly my poos no longer smell!!! TMI I know but how weird is that? I literally shit roses now 🥀

I was thinking about this doing this justanotherneighinparadiseand what a great benefit- roses

I just want to feel better with it

I have been drinking peppermint tea but perhaps I need to drink more of it.

What dies you diet look like? What’s going in is basically the problem. I know my stomach hated it when I was eating too many vegetables. Now I eat veggies but they’re high water, low carb ones.

I have found my people!

Absolutely this!

My issue Vegas with constipation and I still am. Always. No matter what I do.

I've gone gluten free - I really can't tolerate gluten and get so bloated I have to lie down in pain. It pulls at my skin so much.

I wake up each morning to an angry shouty fart but generally this is the only fart I do all day and the rest is all bunged up inside.

Vegas? Perhaps a trip there might help

@dingledongle Definitely some digestive upset, mixed with constipation. I've never had any trouble in this 'area' before. But the yucky mouth taste is annoying too. I feel as if I've been drinking ink. Bitter taste is common in early pregnancy too, so I'm guessing it's just part of the hormonal chaos of meno too.

My diet consists of 5-8 portions of veg per day, i have porridge and seeds for breakfast (to get iron and omega 3 )

Lunch- maybe a sandwich or poached egg, only one slice of bread to keep carbs to minimum

Dinner- i cook a range of food from scratch

Trouble is you are encouraged to eat lots of veg to 'eat well' but it seems to encourage gas production (although it never did before)

Interesting others are finding the same

Goodness-yes, I’m like this as well. The gurgling noises are the worst-it is so embarrassing and I dread sitting next to anyone of being in quiet meetings-especially after lunch. It just sounds like I’m farting all the time, but it’s coming from inside. It’s awful.

I wish there was a fold I could eat, or a food I could not eat, that would stop it.

Yep - bloaty burper here, too. Bread and pastry are the absolute worst for me.

@CokeEnStock

I hear you!

Bloody hell she's not that loud farting is she 😂

Ha! I didn't mean literally 😂 I have found white bread especially, and pasta to a lesser degree, has a most unfortunate effect on me these days. I try to low carb but carbs are delicious.
