Indigestion and nausea along with sore joints and muscles

Women's health

Hi All!

I was wondering if any of you get indigestion and constant low-level nausea with mad food cravings, like salad cream with everything?  My joints and muscles seems to be really sore when I have my digestion problems too.  Does this sound familiar?

Thanks again.

Feeling so fed up with it all.

Hi Jo

My joints and muscles ache, especially down my arms.  Indigestion too.  No cravings yet though.

Joanna, yes yes yes! Indigestion is terrible, upset tummy. Right now my back has been aching all week. I do get cravings too. All part of hormone changes. Ibuprophen is my best friend!

Hi Andrea

Do you get the nausea as well?

Hi Joanna

and i crave vinegar sometimes .. I have to have fishfingers with lashings of vinegar

Nancy, do you get nausea as well?

My knees feel like I am 100 and have the mother of all headaches as we speak!

It is weird, isn't it, one minute the thought of food is awful and next you just seem to have to graze like a cow!!

Joanna, not severe nausea but I get really bloated which upsets my stomach and then the belching starts. Aches and pains come and go. May be my knee one time, then arms another, now my back this week. It's random....

At risk of teaching grandmothers to suck eggs, ibuprofen can lead to excess acid that gives rises to bloating, nausea, indigestion and upset stomach

Yes, terrible indigestion, aching joint, just plain hurt from head to toe.  I too felt like I was 100. I was cold, tired and also fed up! I also would take the ibuprofen but the indigestion was well established before hand.

I have the most weird cravings for cheese, with raw onion and salad cream!

Hi Renee

How long do you think you felt like this for?

Thanks

I was weaning off hrt patch.  I had no idea that it was due to that.  I was constantly at the doctors complaining of not feeling well.  I could give you a list a mile long. I had constant indigestion.  All tests and bloodwork were normal.  Then when the night sweats, mood swings, and anxiety hit my mother in law kindly said she thought I was in menopause! LOL  I just could not take it anymore and went back on the hrt.  Some women can fly through perimenopause and others have a terrible time.  It is individual.  I had no idea it could turn a body so upside down.

I find it interesting joanna, I have indigestion accompanied by acid reflux at times, I do take an HRT and have been blaming it on that, but I am learning others who do not take HRT also suffer from it as well.  Yes my joints and muscles ache as well, recently told I was deficient in Vitamin D so I think that may be why?  Such a mystery?!!!

Hi Loretta

when i was in peri, i had indigestion burning, acid thing so bad once it lasted days, took all the usual remedies and it just would not go,

happened to be going to the docs ( not for the acid problem) but i mentioned it, my GP then also did homeopathic meds, he said take this and it will be gone in an hour, i said .. Yes right ..... ( thinking he was dreaming) did not know what it was, but i took it, it was a powder and it melted on tongue ( only one ) and it went, just as he said, an hour later .

also... here where i live now, for acid reflux and menopause indigestion, i was given Omeprazol tablets, they also protect your tummy lining if taking severe meds .... They are prescription or over the counter here and cost next to nothing and they are the best for acid reflux, heart burn, Gerd etc

Hi yes i get cravings for sweet stuff, i ache especially my legs are worse and at nights. Was getting low level nausea too and indegestion, this has cleared up since taking probiotics and dida tablets as recomended in yours magazine, the indigestion that is.

I too also crave chocolate ... 

Infact i have none in house and feel quite upset about it 😊

chocolate cravings before periods and in menopause may be due to magnesium being required ..

i take chelated magnesium as its good for menopause and chelated doesnt upset your tummy like Magnesium Citrate and Oxide, as those magnesiums have laxative effects ..

i always take one in the morning and one before bed, as also they relax you and aid a good nights sleep ..

my cravings are not as bad now
