    What is acidophilus ? Have you managed to control it? Is yours upper also?

      It's probiotics as a supplement. If I go off track I feel it immediatly. No mine isn't upper. One thing you'll find as you approach menopause is that you get a lot of food sensitivites. So you must beware of them.

      Maybe it's dairy, gluten, spices, alcohol, or preservatives (EEE products). You'll have to track them.

      Is that with Betaine HCL (supplement)? If it is it's really good for that.

    Yes! I get so bloated that I feel like I did when I was pregnant. Even my breasts seem to swell to the point that my bra is tight and uncomfortable. It ususally passes after I have my montly but then it comes back after a week or so. I drink alot of water to try to reduce it which is what my doctor told me to do but it does not help
