    Hi.

    I had a hysterectomy 6 weeks ago, and went off food completely. so am guessing its the meno. sounds like you are getting the same.

    Hi fudgebear

    I do have problems with food myself. I get a lot of stomach issues diarrhea stomach pain nauseated to where i just have to eat the salt free saltine crakers and ginger ale to help with my stomach issues. 

    Today i felt nauseated when i woke up with some stomach issues and urine issues. 

    I can not eat a lot of food and i have to eat bland foods no salt no pepper no tomatoes no spices at all no cheese that goes right through me 

    I get tired of this to even toast has gone right through me to where i just eat crakers and sip on ginger ale. 

    I understand what you are going through

    I went off food for some weeks because the meno caused me to have gastitis, it took ages to get over, I had the nausea with it too, this was the worse symptom i have had!

      Yes, the Meno is a bit of a russian roulette...maybe you will be lucky and not get any symptoms, or just a few...or if the bullet is in the chamber....loads of symptoms! eek

      Yes thank you, it was awful not having tea and coffee and the odd drink, but im hoping i wont get it again, it happened just as my periods became erratic. I recently had my ovaries out due to family history etc and at the moment hot flashes and mood swings seem to be the main symptoms now x

    Yes, I have no appetite at times and I am not liking it - it comes back but not the same as it was and food sometimes tastes different.  I am more sensitive to the taste of salt and sometimes sugar.  I am relieved to read I am not the only one.  I get slight nausea too at times.  I am not really enjoying food sad
