Posted , 8 users are following.
I would like some help here. I have been in and out of the bathroom with more stool problems and urinating more. I feel like my stools keep getting worse it seems like I can't eat anything with out having to go soft stool or diarrhea. Then I feel weak sick to stomach and then all day today I was urinating after I went diarrhea it seemed non stop today with the urine.
Can anyone relate to this I don't know what to eat that will stay in my system please help me feeling blue and down

Wish i could help but cant say i have had this being post meno like you also are ?
Had variation and urge to pee more mid peri which is common, but not in post meno.
Hope it sorts itself out, maybe you should see your doc, may not be post meno related.

i'm 67 well past menopause.
i,ve been going through this over 3 years and had all the tests in urology, gyno and gastro.
nothing found except fibroids and very recently a polyps.
had polypectomy but that made no difference.
i thought maybe i had an infestation or bacterial disease and have treated myself but i'm just the same.
when you say you have diarrhea, do you mean all of the day or does your usual bowel movement come out runny.
mine started off being pencil thin and then became floaty ''cowpats''
sorry to be so graphic.
i have all clear on gallbladder and pancreas.
my pain is also to the left where i assume my ovary is.
that leaves hormones as the culprit but i havent done much research into that yet.
it covers a lot of problems ie.thyroid and er cant remember but sit on top of your kidneys.
these can cause digestive issues.
so please let me know if you come up with anything and i'll do the same.

I think it is the IBS and stress and anxieties mixed with all my medications like metformin for my diabetes, my zoloft, ativan, levothyroxine, for my thyroid, and my trazodone, these meds can cause soft stools and stomach problems at times because I have no infection and i was feeling anxious all day yesterday.
The stomach surgen is going to have a therapist see how weak my muscles are up there on the 24th of April
They say to eat fiber to help bind you maybe I just need more fiber

I am 49 and had the same thing last Year. I went to my doctor for a full workup and nothing. I thought I was on my last leg. I had no idea this was menopause related. It lasted a few months until it just went away. I did not have much of an appetite. I also had the pain on my left side. I am so crying right now when I think of all the things I have been going through and had no idea it was all related to my hornomes. Thank you ladies for sharing.

please dont cry ..
when i was in peri part i had mornings when i had to run to the loo, only the once, but each morning, mine was the magnesium supplements i was taking .. i was taking magnesium citrate / oxide these have laxative effects .. [rolleyes]
so i changed to chelated magnesium and it all stopped, now i tend to be the other way if anything..
anxiety of peri can cause digestive issues like you say erractic hormones etc
hang in there ... your not alone .. jay x

if you are desperate to 'un' constipate yourself, do it the natural way.
there are lots of options that wont upset your medication.
prunes, kiwi, and my favourite pumpkin seeds.drink plenty of water also.

i am wondering now if my symptoms have anything to do with hormones.
i was on hrt for 12 years and was told to quit 6 years ago.
stupidly i quit abruptly.
could my my pelvic pain and digestive issues be hormonal.
naaa surely one of the gynos out of 8 i've seen would have mentioned that to me.
i eat like a horse these days and never put a gram on.
sorry i'm thinking out loud.
i'm not energetic nor lethargic so does'nt sound like thyroid issue.
i've been having lots of tests over 3 years and still no diagnosis.
just finding out if its gyno or gastro would be an advantage.
one thing i am really paranoid about , is going to my doctor with some trivial ailment.
i'm scared i'd be labelled as a hypocondriac.
i would'nt stand a chance of getting treatment then.
scarey !

don't be scared about going to the doctor. You do not have an ailment. At times I think this way but we got to think positive. I have no infection in my bowls, no cancer so right now I am thanking God for what he is doing for me. We just have to think positive thats what my boyfriend did when he had prostate cancer, it has not come back and he is doing just fine, and my mom had lung cancer she has beaten hers, so if we did end up getting something all we have to do is be strong and pray to God and know that he heals.
You will be fine it just menopause you are going through how old are you i am 46

i'm 67. i reckon i've already had 2 menopauses. one before hrt and the other after.
the first was when driving buses and it was quite a bloody time,offered a hysterectomy but by the time the appointment come through,the bleeding had stopped.
i'm reading now about vitamin b12 deficiencey.
maybe its the cause of many a mystery ailment.
enlighten yourself.you'll be surprised.

I tried Vitb6 had a bad experince with it my anxieties went up the roof, it went into a full blown panic attack so I just take my vit d3 in the morning and a multivit in the evening
Never doing the b6 again after that

didnt you say you only had ONE B6 and you had anxiety panic
how do you know it was actually the B6
seem to recall you you said you were bell ringing or something or your post .
were you actually doing the bell ringing or watching and listening .
i know for a fact if i was pulling bells i would for sure feel dizzy couldnt do it
maybe a coincidence or maybe B6 interfered with your prescription drugs
who knows ..
people must make their own choices and try these things, B6 never bothered me, only improves things and suggested by GP and Gyno so cant be bad for many ..
