I would love to feel human again, like my normal happy self.

The bloating is driving me nuts as I love my exercise, running 5 days a week an a few classes it helps keep the stress away! Some days/weeks I am my normal size 12 an other days/weeks, even after all the exercise I am that bloated im a size 14 ! I have clothes of many sizes !! Lol.
as u say some times im full of the joys of spring an other daysni dont want to talk to anyone, get out of bed or just want to slouch on the couch an watch rubbish tv, this is very unlike me as I like to get out an about.thats also with crying at the slightest thing, embarrassing sometimes! Being angry with the world is not me.
My diet is good thru the week, with treats at the weekend. I love brown bread an cheese.i thort it may have been the brown bread making me bloated gave it up in exchange for white but heard that wod prob make it worst.it didn't make any difference so back to the yummy brown.lol.
this site is helping alot, someone to chat to that understands what ur feeling. My hubby is great an trys to understand, bless him.he just stays out if my way. Lol.i really dont want to go to the doctor as I no what it is now.i would if it gets that bad.
today its lovely an sunny thats put a smile on my face . I've taken my b6, b12 shortly im hoping it kicks in soon.feeling bloated already an I've only had a cuppa!!!!!!! ARHHH

Totally with you on the gluten/wheat-thing. When my resolve is good I cut right back on bread, pasta, even spuds (not such a great carb, but I've been bought up on them as a staple of all our meals: filled us kids up!!).
My biggest weakness is......crisps (prob. Potato Chips or you!). But when I'm feeling totally crap, I cut bread/spuds/crisps/diet coke out completely. Sometimes makes for interesting viewing: I'm almost lie a junkie going cold turkey without a bag of crisps!
TJH - I'd take the B vits either standalone or like many of us do, as part of a good multi vitamin combined. I take Menopace Original and think its my savour!
Topping up my Magnesium for, amongst other things, its laxative benefits!!!
TJH - Kim's right - keep yourself 'regular'. Watch you intake of gas-producing foods and maybe some probioic yogurt might help too! (Blimey if only I could follow my own advice - got another period and am back on the crisps gggrrrrrrr!!!!)
Good Luck - Sxx

I tried probotic drink/yogurt it didn't seem to help.
ive brought sum vit b6,12 and magnesium for the night . Holland and Barrett have done well out of me this week !!! Fingers crossed it'll all help.

Seriously now. Its the right thing to do. I adore cheese as its really my only form of dairy and probably main source of calcium
( cut out milk etc from age 13 - a constantly green snotty nose
ain't a good look at any age, let alone 13!)
I'm gonna start a new discussion "Who wants to join our Peri/
Meno Slimming Club?".
'There'll be no fee, no group weigh-in's, and probably no weight
loss. But hey, you can have a good moan/gripe about the
injustice of adding weight gain to an already colossal list of crap symptoms we already have to endure!! Oh, and of course, you'll be among good friends who'll know exactly what you're going
through!'
I'll be the first member :-) !!
Total sympathy for you Kim, but I believe raised cholesterol is yet another symptom of this bloody Curse gggrrrrr!

I'll be the second member, sounds good to me.
Not sure I could do without milk in my tea but I could try the rest

I can't even eat cheese because it goes right through me plus I am diabetic my sugars have been pretty good I am on metformin one in the morning and two at night.
Dieting is good just cut down on your portions and get some exercise in and do not eat anything sweet.
