Gas and farting😬

So glad this is an anonymous forum!
Since being in peri I have constant gas. I can feel my stomach/ guts gurgling all day and I have the urge to fart all the time. Definitely worse in the luteal phase. And 100x worse when I lie down at night. I haven’t seen this symptom mentioned much. Anyone else have this?

I hate to break the bad news but you'll have to adjust your diet šŸ™ˆ

Yes I’ve noticed this too. I don’t think it’s super unusual x

I think it is common. Changes in hormone levels can affect our digestion, appetite and motility. I have started taking probiotics and trying to eat well. But it is difficult. Sometimes eat like a pig!

I’ve no problem farting when I’m alone but it’s really impacting my nights. Having sex while trying to hold in farts takes away the fun😱😱😱. I eat healthily and never used to have these problems. Just seem to produce soooo much gas all the timeā˜¹ļø
