After my period for about the last 6 months I have an upset tummy, loose stools, aching legs etc, I still feel like I have slight period pains too. Is this a normal thing? Any advice would be brilliant xx

    Hi Wiggles

    lots of us have digestive probs in peri and meno... šŸ˜¦

    i had it all the way through peri and i am in meno full now.. And still have it sometimes

    ranges from running to the loo, from cant go..šŸ˜¦

    a probiotic is helpful one a day..

    hey... Do you take supplements to help..

    if not ... Get yourself a tub of Mega B 100mg complex, make sure it has 100mg of the B6 in it ... This helps sooooo much, with aches, anxiety etc..

    also jarrows B12 5000mcg red label for energy

    we lack this big timeĀ

      Thanks for your reply jay,

      This is all new to me as I have started getting all sorts of peri symptoms! I am an anxious person so I may try the things you have suggested. I also get a loss of appetite too! Oh the joys of growing older!

    i think this is progesterone becomes more dominant over oestrogen. But i could be wrong. Have you tried supplementing with oestrogen in some way even if just by eating foods that help or trying herbal remedies?

      Hi thanks for your reply

      No I haven't tried anything yet, but am willing to try anything, my symptoms last up to a week after I finish bleedingĀ

      Hi wiggles

      well the mega b and vit 12 will help..

      natural menapol plus may help..

      see your doc if you thinking of having hormones as you need checking and the right ones... Ā Never use the natural hormone creams as they are not good... always see the doctor ..

      Jay xx
