My body is at it again!

Okay, so now add vicious gas to the list of symptoms...it just goes on and on. Does peri cause an increase in gas? I find that I really have to watch what I eat carefully....and still it can be bad...some days I just feel like not eating a thing in order to avoid this bloating, constipated, gassy thing...ugh, another reason to worry, I am so very sick of this stuff.

Has anyone else noticed that peri caused an increase in gas?

Thanks,
Tracey

Yes, Yes, YES! Constantly. Its been that way since my periods and cycles began changing. And it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what or when I've eaten. I did see 'gas' listed somewhere as a peri-effect. I have read that anything from milk, to lettuce, to beans can be the culprit, but I have the problem even when I haven't eaten any of those items. I guess its just another one of those things we have to live through . . .

Hi Virtual,

It's the same for me too. I know that certain things will cause me problems, they always have (ice cream, beans, etc.) Like you, I can eat a very bland diet and have problems or eat really badly (fried foods) and suffer just the same...go figure! Gas X...helps me sometimes, buy a lot of it nowadays! I really really try to watch everything that goes into my mouth anyway.

This is miserable, isn't it????

Thanks for responding, every response helps me to deal just a tad bit better!

Take good care,
Tracey

our digestion is slowing ,, The first thing I noticed is that when I would wake up in the morning I felt like what ever I had eaten for dinner was still just sitting there in tact .. almost Like little or no digestion took place at all. I take something called "colon health" which is like activia in a pill form (I dont like dairy),, you can try some probiotics too to help with the digestion, ibs etc.

Yes, absolutely yes!!!!!!! It started happening a few years ago and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I eat. I'm always burping and, well you know, seems like! Gas X works pretty well for me but sometimes the bloating and pressure is unreal. My belly looks like I'm 5 months pregnant until I get it all out. It's very uncomfortable. Awful what our bodies do to us, isn't it ladies? Why don't men have any of these issues?

I have been uncomfortable since yesterday. Even the night was rough. I know it will pass, it always does, but when the stomach is in a flare it is soooo annoying and feels like it will never end. It doesn't matter what I eat either. It just happens. Nothing specific ends it either, it just stops. Lots of burping too, but I have always been good at that.
