has anyone had a change in loo habits? I have diverticulitis but haven't had a flare up in some time. Now I am bloated, sometimes constipated sometimes have to race to the loo. This is a little TMI I know and I do apologise but I have also had a bit of mucus and a tiny red streak on the paper. I have been taking Somac for a while for gastritis and am thinking of stopping that. I have read its not a good idea to take long term. I'm wondering if these digestive issues can be die to menopause?
Hi Kylie, I think because you are having an active flare, you should let your Dr know and tell them you are considering stopping the medication & what your concerns are about it…they will let you know if its okay and can answer your question. To me it sounds more like its related to your Diverticulosis vs menopause however, there are a whole range of symptoms with that and everyone is different, I think your Dr can tell for sure!! Wish I could be more helpful, Good Luck…hope this flare ends & you get a long break from it, like forever!! Best Wishes:wedding:
I am also taking a whole range of herbal supplements atm as I had a holiday booked to America but as of today we had to cancel. Maybe I am overloading with vitamins also. Thankyou for your reply
Hi Kylie, I don’t know exactly what you are taking but, some things like Magnesium, if you get too much… it can cause too many, trips to the loo, my darling(you may not know that’s kind of a song…lol check each one for side effects…THAT will make your flareups worse, so can stimulants like caffeine…Best Wishes:wedding:
