      Well good. That means you did go to a Dr. If you are 50 or more perhaps you should consider doing a colonoscopy. In some countries they are done routinely from age 50 every 5 years.

    Yes Amber this is another symptom I've had with hormone imbalance, don't worry too much cos anxiety just makes everything worse, it'll all get better when the hormones settle

    All the best xx

    It could be due to exacerbated allergies or IBS, both of which can be connected to peri or menopause. Hope all is well and results come fast. The wqiting is awful.

    Hi Amber,

    I can't really say that I have experienced this, but I'd check with my doctor just to make sure there's nothing going on.

    Take care!
