What tips and tricks do you have to reduce menopausal bloating that I didn't mention? Comment below!

[@RegisteredNurseL.A.]

My hands and feet get hot, more so in the morning so I dunk them in cold water. I just bought your book. I wake up with water retention and I hate it so much. The scale says I gained 9lbs this week?!?! I track my food on Weight Watchers. What’s helped is going for walks outside but I know some people don’t have that option due to where they live. KZbin has some great exercise videos to do at home. As I’m typing this my hands and feet are on fire 🔥 en fuego 😩🔥🔥🔥. My mom had a radical hysterectomy and only took HRT for a few months and stopped. I have no idea why. I’ve birthed one child and this is so similar but worse. At least I had an end date to my symptoms when I was pregnant. Edit: my daughter is 20 now and I said to her “don’t ever go through menopause. It sucks!” She laughed and said “well, I’ll have to eventually” 😂

[@rosedaoud7365]

Good info, thanks

[@sacadosify]

Drinking pleny of water, doing push-ups/planks and getting regular exercise have worked very well for me so far. Keeping the weight off in the first place is key.

[@heatherhirschMD]

All SOOOOOOOO good!

[@foxiefair123]

I do all of that. My weight is good, and I had my visceral fat checked, and it’s not that either. My body fat % is good, too, so I literally have no idea what it is. It’s like a little baby bump. I’m trying not to let it get to me, lol, at least it’s not something worse. My guess is probably the weakening or diastis recti. I had a c-section and my son is 20 now, so maybe I’m just old.😂

[@barbarakhan5275]

OMG! This totally explains all that I have been feeling since peri and now menopause. I literally said to a friend that I feel like things are pushing up toward my diaphragm, I feel short waisted and I am not. I have always had a sluggish digestion and it has gotten so much worse. I did start taking Seed probiotic a month ago which is helping me “go” daily, which I never did. I still feel like my stools are hard, so I think upping my water is next, but if I drink a ton of water, then I feel like that lady in the ad for incontinence meds, needing to go-go-go and feeling like I can’t hold it. Ugh!

Another great video with helpful tips. Going on HRT 2 months ago has been a blessing. I sleep so much better and not as fatigued so I can exercise regularly. Also, doing intermittent fasting every day with healthy keto has completely changed how I feel and look. Thank you again for all of your helpful information!

[@heatherhirschMD]

Hi Karen! I’m so glad you had a positive experience! I’m glad you got good care :)) hugs

[@helenkennedy4661]

I've been practicing a 16 hour fast every day which helps to fully digest what's in there and I feel better. However, I'm still bloated and looking 7 months pregnant. I'm 49. Anyone out there also taking O Positive herbal supplements created by doctors? Great video!

I had low grade irritable bowel even before I entered perimenopause. I have been taking low dose psyllium capsules daily for years in the morning with breakfast and a big glass of water. It has really cleared up a lot of my symptoms including bloating. I also take magnesium at night every few days, but it can have a pretty strong laxative effect so I can't take it every day.

[@rachelteeuws1241]

I have reduced the bad carbs & ditched the sugar. It’s only been 2 weeks but I feel so much better & lighter

I been bloating for years, but this mid 40's it is getting worse. When I was young I usually have problem in the morning. The bloating after I pee. When I was on 20's I been having terrible pains going to work because the air goes up my left tummy. feels like getting hugher and I can't fart it out if i am standing or sitting. I need to lay down and wait for a long time. At work I would be very sick with it, specially the pressure of work makes it worse. Now that I am older, it is much worse, but I am no longer working so It's okay. Like today I peed early morningand went back to sleep, than I woke up with bloat. I stay in bed and than later I farted it out. But now it's noon and I haven't eaten anything yet am gassing up again, my lower belly balooned again. If i get stressed out it also worsens. So I prefer a quiet peaceful place without neighbors but I can't have that. From time to time of course some crazy neighbors stresses me out. I have pcos and probably a bit of the fibroids, but I think it's not that much. I haven't had my check for this year with gyne, I am scared of their tools it hurts so much. Considering that I am not having sex so it creeps me out big time and it really hurts so bad when I had a check up. I think I will go to another doctor as I find it brutal the last time. I don't have a permanent doctor yet because I find it hard to find a nice one. They are too sarcastic or too invasive with my life. SOme are questioning we why I am unmarried and didn't create a baby. SOme are also very brutal with check up and they are not gentle I feel like I am getting buchered. Plus having a check up bleeds after so I am scared of it. I guess i have to deal with this bloating for several years. Probably the perimenopausal is adding to the problem that is why it worsens. Oh btw some doctors are just too difficult, like I remember I was going to tell her my history than she interupted me and said "don't talk about the old years, I don't need to hear it, I am asking right now, the issue you have now. Well isn't it suppose to be included, I mean you need to know my history and other issues so you can better understand my body and what is happening to me and what other things may cause the issues. Another problem with doctors is if they don't know the problem and cannot find it, they will say "your imagining things, it's all in your mind" just like one of my uncles wife, she has a problem and feels sick and weak and tired all the time, but doctors cannot find the problem so they referred her to psych. I also remember a long time ago my godfathers wife was nose bleeding and becoming too skinny. All hospitals cannot find the problem, good thing the husband is in US navy so he brought her there and they found the problem, it was her bone marrow. Aside from bloating, my lower tummy is gaining fat, if I squeeze it yes it is fats. my butt also went drooping down my thighs. My only solution to bloating is just laying down and wait till it comes out of my tummy.

[@chuesyklein87]

Very helpful! I will drink more water and do ab workouts.

Thank you for this video. I’m 42 years old. I have been a runner for over 20 years so needless to say I exercise and I know my body well. Lately I’ve seen bloating in my stomach which is disturbing but I just have self diagnosed myself as perimenapause😀

I eat alot of fresh fruits & vegetables, especially apples, blueberries, carrot salad, greens. I also drink a probiotic daily which helps. I also take magnesium every evening & it relaxes me & helps me with bowel movements. I also try to avoid dairy especially cheese & milk, avoid red meats, avoid processed foods. I have no thyroid, no gallbladder, pancreatic insufficiency & hypothyroidism so it's even harder for me! Ugh!
