Hi all

Does anyone else suffer with bloating in peri. I constantly feel like I need the loo and feel as if I have eaten loads when I haven't. I have a tyre of weight round my middle that never seems to go down. Any advice would be great and also if there are any supplements that can help.

Thanks

    Hi Helen,

    yes I do and it drives me nuts! Even when I really think I must have gained 5kg I hop on the weighing scales and I haven't gained, but if feel like I cannot wear close fitting clothes and I really feel heavy and bloated, and can't seem to "suck it in" like I used to. It's depressing. 

    I have found although, that cutting way back on salt, red meat and also drinking a big glass of water every hour helps shift excess fluid, which I feel is the cause of this heavy bloated feeling around my waist. I also have started replacing my extra coffee intakes for tea. It does seem to help. 

    Good luck, let us know how you go!
