Hello ladies, I feel like I'm just about over the worst now hooefully, two years post oophorectomy / hysterectomy. The first eighteen months were horrendous and I truly mean that, but the last few months things have settled down a bit, still have symptoms but not as vicious - my question is to anyone in a similar situation is have you / anyone noticed changes in digesting food, kind of hard to explain but the best way is that after eating food seems to stay around high up in stomach for a lot longer than it used to prior to menopause, I feel bloated for a while then it slowly goes down and I feel ' normal ' again. In the mornings when I get up tummy fine and flatish, by the end of the day feels huge. Feels like it's all slowed down and everything's working harder than it used to. Hope you can see where I'm coming from ! No HRT and no bowel changes. Thanks everyone.

      Yes it's a horrible feeling - feels like stomach is ' packed ' for ages with whatever I eat, then slowly over hours and hours it goes down - almost too worried to eat as you know what's going to happen . How I wish I was young and carefree again and could eat what I like and think nothing of it ! Everything has to be thought through these days.
