Hello Ladies, Have any of you experienced constipation with bloating and gas for a few days and then soft stools with nervous stomach issues? I was feeling constipated most of the week then today I had soft stools and a jittery stomach. I felt so fatigued today too. I feel like I've been run over by a truck! This is awful! 😩
That would be a resounding YES! Digestive issues are one of my worst and most persistent symptoms. Hang in there! xo Heidi
It sounds exactly like me! constipated for 2-3 days and then loose stools and lots of gas for 2-3 days...
yes most of the time its like im not completely emptying and feel bloated then right before my cycle ill get loose stool
Yep!!! I can handle the hot flashes insomnia etc but the stomach stuff is kicking my butt!!! I know it's anxiety driven. I actually had a couple quiet moments today when one if my episodes happened. The minute I feel my anxiety raise my heart starts flopping, my stomach gets instantly upset and I get this rush of heat move up my body! I really wish I was a man right now!!!
My stomach is all over the place. Can't tolerate food apart from cornflakes and apples,
Yup, you described what happens to me and then right after that is when I have to use the bathroom.
Thanks, at least I know I am not alone.
Thanks, Heidi!
Yeah and then you hardly want to eat because you feel so blocked up.
Yes, it does mess with your eating. So frustrating!
Yes! I had never struggled with constipation and this was NEW when the scary symptoms started. It is just as you have described...I could go days with the constipation and then very loose stools, upset stomach, jittery etc. That along with loss of appetite and the other 66 + symptoms. I also wake up in the middle of the night with nausea and loose stools - I am thinking it my be the same timing as hot flashes/night sweats. A lot has changed for me since starting the over the counter progesterone. Thankful we can encourage one another during this time!
Yes so glad we all have each other.
The bloating and constipation gets worse nearing my period. But as soon as I start my period it gets soft and easy to go . If using the bathroom was as easy as it is while I'm on my period I would be a happy woman. . not sure what will happen when my periods stop all together , I'm afraid I may never go again lol
😂 No, hopefully once our hormones settle down after menopause, then it should go back to normal. Or so we hope.
Hi, Constipation is a common problem among human beings. It can be treated by some home made remedies like Drink more water Exercise more Eat more fiber Drink coffee, especially caffeinated coffee If you have severe problem visit to doctor. Thanks.
Yes, I get this almost every month....for last several years. Have been told normal for peri.....anxiety.....stomach issues are also one of my consistent main symptoms. I take probiotics. ..seems to help.
Yes!! My biggest and worst symptom right now. My poor stomach is starving and I can't feed it. No appetite at all. I force food in me. I started taking a probiotic too. We'll see.
Hey mine too. I force food and I don't enjoy it. Weight loss due to the suck lack of appetite, bones look slim but my family says they don't see that. The scale has my weight all over the place. Up one day, down the next. Brain Fog, Depression...Ugh!! Menopause Sucks!
