So I am now experiencing bloating which has gone on and off for the past few weeks. I have had it before but the last two weeks have been frequent. The previous bout I was checked for ovarian issues and had cameras everywhere. It came back with a cyst issue. Its when I eat that my stomach balloons. It feels hard and uncomfortable. I am 48 and still having periods but I never thought I suffered from anxiety but I do now, my hair is thinning, my joints ache and have pretty much a large selection of symptoms on the peri-menopausal list in this forum. So has anybody else have this bloating? Its been particularly troublesome the week before a period and during. What do you take? If I am up and about, its not too bad. Its when I sit down and I do have a desk job which makes it more difficult to cope with. I walk an hour a day, swim once a week and occasionally hit the gym. So what else can I do to alleviate this?
Hi. I had the same issue. So I avoided eating Dairy and gluten. Also watched food with food enhancement and preservatives. It helped a lot. No sugar too.
What do I eat then! I am joking but it is so hard to know what to eat that is not in the above as that covers most of what I eat :0)
Rice, Gluten free bread, meatŘ fish and fruit an vegetables. Eat berries they are very good. Gluten and lactose should be avoided
