Kari-53 yr old here & Im late peri. When weird scary things happen/starting to happen I think something bad is happening to me & I get scared/anxiety & I watch one of your videos & it eases my fears & is helping me thru this. I want you to know how grateful I am for you. ❤ and you are making a hard journey a lil less scary. HUGS Chelle-Jacksonville, Fl
Thanks Keri, my stomach acts up with gastritis when the anxiety hits I get a lot of burping, gas, stomach pains, lost of appetite,and these worsen the anxiety, it's a visious cycle...😞
@@KariAnneWright How are you doing? You mentioned that you are now in full menopause, has any of your symptoms improved? P.S I do get that upper left side pain in my stomach as well, as you mentioned in another one of your videos.
@@zpan5265 Some symptoms have improved. My moods are better and less erratic, my pms type symptoms are gone, not as much bloating but it still hits occasionally. My anxiety has hung on and the aches and pains are brutal. Also I have to really watch what I’m eating. I react to a lot of food. Plant based is best for me. When I stray I pay!🥴😔
@@zpan5265 I think herbs have there place and can be useful for some women. It’s important to read up about interactions and side effects because they can cause issues just like medication. I do not use herbs at this stage so I cannot offer personal experiences.
I must say, this is the best blog for perimenopause. You don't make it seem depressing (adding to the already anxiety and depression) by making it funny however very informative. Honestly whenever I have symptoms or unexplained issues I go to one of your blog and I feel so much better and don't have to run to the ER. which I have in the past. Thank you
Thank you for the kindness. I am truly happy that my content is helping you and easing some anxiety. Most of us have run to the er at least once. There is a lot of concerning chaos going on in menopause for many of us. It’s understandable. Sending love and hugs!🥰
I'm a walking gas machine! Didn't know about reflux. Never had it in my life apart from the 3rd trimester of pregnancy back in 2002. Now get a lot of acid (I'm 56).
The one thing that helps with all kinds of discomfort for me is lime juice It is amazing! I buy a bottle and squeeze some into a big glass of ice water in the morning and drink it. It is a game changer. Amazing results! I find fresh limes to be too expensive so I buy the 100% lime juice in the bottles. There is also lemon, cranberry and orange juice. These all help the body. I prefer sugarless juices though with lime being my favorite but lemon might do the same. Gets rid of a lot of aches and fatigue.
I am in perimenopause and I am 46. I try to consume fresh fruits and vegetables everyday to keep my system regular. I have noticed that now, my system has trouble digesting bread. I either get terrible constipation or trouble going for days when I eat bread. And I end up having to take a mild laxative to help me go. So I stay away from bread as much as possible because for some reason I am not able to digest it now that I am in perimenopause. We make our own pizza dough at home and make homemade pizza, we hardly get pizza from outside...we make cakes, brownies, cookies etc.. once in a while all at home.. We never buy the store pre packaged stuff. Every once in a while, I will purge and have a Starbucks brownie or a dunkin doughnuts chocolate doughnut and so far, my system is okay with that. We hardly ever eat out now and we mostly cook at home because most outside food, like fast food, gives me diarrhea and an upset stomach. So, we stay away from it. So this is what I have found. You need to figure out what works for you and stick to it so that you don't upset your system.
I haven’t eaten take out in like a year and bread in several years. I’m gluten free and gluten free bread is just not the same. It is a chore to find a list of foods that agree with you in midlife.
Oh holy cow. Thanks for tip #2. I always drink a lot of water before, during and after meals and i thought that was a good thing and now i realize it's contributing to my acid reflux...go figure! Thanks so much for that tip!
I am absolutely having issues. I have weird nausea sometimes at 2 am in the morning and gas a lot. I also have a strange thing that it seems like my stomach has shrunk. I can't eat like I did when I was younger. This is of course a scary symptom because a number of issues come up when you talk about not being able to eat as much as you once could... but this is the case for me. I had been doing time restricted eating but more and more I feel like I can't do that because I need to have large spaces between meals.
Hi Kari, just found you because I was trying to see if other people felt symptoms of morning sickness during perimenopause. I started this issue about 3 months ago. Usually everyone talks about gaining weight during perimenopause but I have lost weight. It scared me but its reassuring to know that this can also happen. I hate worrying about food. Things that help a little eating an apple in the morning, chewing mint gum and taking walks outside. I also take a vitamin b3 which helps me relax. I keep praying to God that this will be over soon. Good luck ladies, hormones are a pain.
@@cl3381 I don't know that nutritional yeast actually controls the nausea. But it does control your nerves. It calms you down helps you focus. I take a heaping teaspoon a day. Usually over eggs or in a cup of grits or as a topping for soup. But from symptoms of nausea, I've always relied on taking a ginger tea. Sometimes even peppermint tea. I found that during the menopause transition my microbiome got out of whack. And I still struggle with it now and again. With Candida overgrowth and then my intestines not working as well as they did for some reason. That has caused me nausea. I recommend a good multi- Flora... I have one that's 11 different strains and about 50 billion. I take a teaspoon a day and water.(I do this periodically for a week and then I stop) I've also increased my vitamin C intake which is good for your veins and digestion and I've also started taking a pinch of sea salt in my water. I found my electrolytes were out of balance during menopause. So along with the magnesium and potassium that I was already taking, I had to increase my natural sodium. So far so good. I hope this information helps you.
So sorry. I had peptic ulcers a year ago. I lost so much weight I had so much anxiety made things worse. Thank God I got them cure. Now I need to be very careful what I eat. Anxiety and stress kills my stomach and I start feeling the pain like my ulcers want to come back. It scares me. I haven’t been able to put on weight ever since this happened to me. Doctors think I don’t eat but I do eat my good meals. It’s so sad we suffer so much through this transition. Thank God to Kari that has helped us so much through this journey. ❤ Praying for all of us.
Also get a checkup and an abdominal ultrasound as it turns out it can be a wide range of other issues like h pylori, gallstones (in my case), ulcers etc...
I used to get bad stomach problems after I started drinking matcha with creamy milkadamia ( cashew milk) and drinking green tea with out sugar has helped immensely
Everytime i feel unexplained body issues i go to your channel and watch it.. It seems eases my strange feelings..tnx kari for your informative and helpful videos. More power
I THANK YOU SO MUCH. Your videos have came at the right time in my life. I seriously have thought for the last almost two years I am dying. I have almost EVERYTHING you talk about in all of your videos. The very weird symptoms are the ones that make you think you are dying. I have felt like I am losing my mind. I have felt crazy and I have felt doctors are crazy too. Lol… I am 43 and the first doctor told me it is perimenopause. It is scary. Again, thank you so much for your videos.
Good probiotics and even apple cider vinegar are good for indigestion... Also, Candida can very easily become a problem... Not just a white tongue and not just a yeast infection, but a serious muscle digestion, fatigue and intestinal issue. . Clove tea, oregano, oil, raw garlic help in these situations as well as restoring Flora balance
I wake up with nausea/morning sickness quite frequently. Only realized it was a symptom of my perimenopause when I noticed it would continuously start days before my cycle. Now I have it with or without a cycle. Thankfully it doesn't last all day. (usually about an hour or so after waking) Great video. Thanks for sharing.🙂
I get the flip flop butterfly feelings but mine refer up toward the chest area which sends my anxiety through the roof. I have a stethoscope at home and listened to my heartbeat at the same time as I was having this fluttering sensation and my heartbeat was beating steadily and normally so I knew it was my stomach. But it is an unsettling feeling.
This is my absolute worst symptom to date ,I have such bad reflux I'm on two medications a day 😩 thanks for all your tips about stomach acid production! It's definitely my most challenging symptom 😭
I developed ibs and I can't hardly eat anything now my belly hurts if I eat the wrong foods and get bad belly ache after I poop . Doctors say I'm OK but I still worry .
I hv gastroparesis after having gastritis and it all started after menopause symptoms.. raw apple cider and digestive enzymes are working and I’m not throwing up now.. I’m also going to try iberogast
You're drinking TIMS!!!!! You're CANADIAN TOO!!!!!😻 love it. I don't know why, but just knowing you're close...and a Tim's lover too....makes this all feel a bit better. Thank you!❤️
Kerry, I experienced all of these symptoms so intensely that I had to stay in bed for weeks. It is so debilitating and very upsetting. I am a shadow of what I used to be. It's never-ending. Thank you for this video its nice to know that someone understands what you are going trugh. Thank you. ❤
Hi Kari,thats right alwys feeling blooted and evrytime farting..i felt my tummy became big alwys like a baloon..i think your vedios may help to adjust evrything on whats happening on menopause days..thank u
Hallelujah! I needed this. I am turning 47 in a month and for a week before my period was to start recently I got terrible tummy stuff. Felt like I had to pass some major gas but there was no gas, just constant intestinal cramps, plus the chronic low grade nausea. I was expecting hot flashes. That’s all I have ever heard about.
I just found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching your past videos. I've been in perimenopause over 10 years and had thought I heard it all, but I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you!
GERD and LPR (silent reflux) hit me this year and my god do I feel it. How anyone can hold a job down with these digestive issues beats me. It has absolutely knocked the stuffing out of me. My energy levels are so low and on a strict alkaline diet. The only thing that has improved my health. Apple cider vinegar, peppermint and ginger are bad triggers for me. GERD needs low acid foods to heal naturally.
Kari, your channel is a lifesaver for me! I know this post isn't about itchiness, but I wanted to say this is one of my newer systems that is taking its toll on me. I started taking one antihistamine when I get one of these flares. It makes me so tired, but it's better than scratching in front of people. I end up not having another itchy episode for a few days.
Ok for all ladies suffering here are some tips Soak fenugreek seeds and drink chew them early morning Eat fruit Cook fresh eat light meals Eat fennel post meals Drink mint tea with green cardomom hot is best Add carom seeds to any food that causes bloating ( indians do that all the time ) Early morning drink corrainder cumin and carom seed tea helps with digestion For constipation which i suffer from Drink hot water do yoga especially squats and twists helps a lot! Hope this helps, moneopause sucks but lets say to hell with everything abd yes to life !!
WOW this is SO ME in many ways! I’m literally a mess with MY system! I feel like I’m literally laying in MY deathbed 💀 dying it’s SO bad! It never gets better! I’ve lost weight dealing with perimenopause! months back I got my weight up then I lost weight again and it’s really gotten bad! I eat small portion meals and it’s usually the same food scrambled eggs/breakfast potatoes and cut it up so small like your feeding a toddler including portion size! then after I eat as time goes on I feel like I OVERATE a massive meal and it feels like the food does NOT digest just sits there for hours and hours then I start feeling NAUSEOUS but I never end up getting SICK but I get a bag ready close in case I do 🙄 then I’m NOT hungry or have an appetite for many hours later SO it’s to the point if I’m lucky only 2 small meals an entire day sometimes I get a small snack in there if I feel a little appetite 😭😮💨😱 this perimenopause life is MISERABLE I feel like it’s killing ME! fast 💨 question is regular apples 🍎 sauce ok to eat or would that effect the stomach❓🤍
@@rosepalmer3525 NO it’s completely miserable same situation actually has gotten WORSE for ME! (CRY) please give ME details what you’re going through 🤍
@CYndibabI spent a small fortune going from doctors to naturopath. Feeling like am at deaths door most of the time Feeling like am fighting for my life.hardest illness have ever experienced Now am having severe nausea n heart burn some time with palpitations..everything thing I eat gives me nausea. N it's soo wearing my nervous system down. What I ve decided to do now is to eat mostly fruits for most of the day n coconut water n have 1 cooked meal.. I currently on antacid meds. Hopefully this will help balance things out. I noticed for me papaya n mangoes does better with my stomach. We just have to keep experimenting n see what sticks..stay away from pepper n fpicy foods..I was offered some food n it had a little pepper n it set my stomach off n now am suffering for it.

Kari, I am so thankful I stumbled upon your channel. I wish doctors knew more about all of these issues to better assist and ease our minds. Heartburn and nausea is really getting me down the past month, I assume from high cortisol and lack of stomach acid?? Sleeping has become a chore with all the reflux…unless I stop eating around 4pm. 😕 Oh, and Thank you for encouraging the use of collagen. Game changer for me!
Thanks so much Kari...I have had that weird sensation in the stomach and YES ithought that it was palpitations,but it wasnt.....WHEN WILL THIS ALL STOP????????? any way thanks again,I do wish to say something...MY G,P is a good friend and yep.....she HARDLY knows anything about THE MENOPAUSE....if anything the only thing that I can vouche on is that the TESTS I have gone through can sink a battleship......Better safe than sorry,but when the sensations come,I lose the colour on my face and have to stir myself a bit...it passes quickly and lets hope so will the menopause.....THANK YOU SOMUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s my pleasure! Unfortunately menopause and nutrition are not taught extensively in med school. It’s such a shame it’s practically a crime. They are taught diseases and medications. I hope you come through this quickly and your symptoms ease up!
Hello maam.....i have strange knotty feeling in my upper abdomen,also burning in the middle area of esophagus,i feel bubbling there......my CT scan, sonography, endoscopy,papsmear,pylori test are all noemal............will i ever be better?????? I am tired of this . Is this normal in menopause?
Morning kari i have heard that apple cider vinegar is good for your stomach in menapuse i have been having pains in my stomach last couple of days im 60 can you confirm if this helps please ❤
Yes but if digestive issues are causing you to lose weight and it isn’t related to eating less due to discomfort you should see the doctor for a check up to make sure you are absorbing nutrients and are not deficient in some way. I hope you get to the bottom of things.
@@KariAnneWright thank you kari, but true am really really eating less and healthier than a year ago. Went for blood rest three months ago everything was normal but I can’t eat much and get hangry quite 😀
Yes it does, gritty eyes, dry eyes, blurry and sensitive to lights so get to the doctors to check if there are no underlying factors like Blood Pressure and Diabetes
@@tammyshabazborek Hi I really think it comes with age/menopause/Perimenopause. It’s crazy how much women bodies go thru oh also I’ve started taking mastic gum and it really help with the stomach burning Sensation
I have burning in my stomach also sometimes it move and go to my back then my legs and it will go away but it comes back on and off some food that I eat cause it also oh when will all these things be over.....God bless us all ladies
Yesterday evening i was constapated and did my poop twice but it was an incompleate bowel movements. Everytime i push to poop my stomach would pain and after i felt stomach sick that i had to take gravol and senokot.
Before perimenopause, dairy did not make me constipated. But now whenever I eat dairy I have digestive issues. I have started increasing the fibre in my diet and drinking water after I eat dairy. There is a metallic taste in my mouth from the combination of dry mouth and reflux, and I have noticed that on the days that I am constipated the metallic taste is more intense. The mouth rinses that I am using alleviate dry mouth symptoms, but only for short periods of time. Does metallic taste go away after perimenopause?
Thank you for sharing your experience, Kari. I also hope that I will be lucky when I am in post-menopause. Right now it seems that every time I get effective treatment for one symptom, another peri-symptom starts up. I recently recovered from a cold, but post-nasal drip is still an issue. So, the phlegm, combined with peri-reflux and and peri-constipation, are giving me a lot of discomfort. I am constantly clearing my throat and it makes my throat sore. 😩
Loss of estrogen in menopause slows digestion and can cause issues. Working on gut health, chewing well and eating slowly, avoiding problematic foods, not drinking a half hour before and after eating, certain teas like green tea, ginger tea, peppermint tea or chamomile and getting adequate sleep at night can all help.
A list of things can cause dizziness or vertigo. You would have to rule out all of the possibilities like an ear issue, blood sugar imbalance, anxiety, dehydration, hormone imbalance, inadequate sleep etc.

You are so sweet! I appreciate you and your kind words. Much love!🥰
Kerry, I experienced all of these symptoms so intensely that I had to stay in bed for weeks. It is so debilitating and very upsetting. I am a shadow of what I used to be. It's never-ending. Thank you for this video its nice to know that someone understands what you are going trugh. Thank you. ❤
😢😔
Sweet and funny Kari Anne you are the best this vid is on point.
Thank you for your kind words. You’re sweet.🥰
Kari Ann is wonderful! Dr. Mindy Pelz is also fantastic 😊
Oh Kari Anne , I am riddled with the nausea and jumping stomach currently. It is trying to wrestle me to the floor . I surely must be dying. 😢
🥺
Hi Kari,thats right alwys feeling blooted and evrytime farting..i felt my tummy became big alwys like a baloon..i think your vedios may help to adjust evrything on whats happening on menopause days..thank u
I hope my videos do help you in some way.☺️
I never realised perimenopause could cause me so much wind, but it is as well no one lives with me 😂
The same applies to PMS!!
Hallelujah! I needed this. I am turning 47 in a month and for a week before my period was to start recently I got terrible tummy stuff. Felt like I had to pass some major gas but there was no gas, just constant intestinal cramps, plus the chronic low grade nausea. I was expecting hot flashes. That’s all I have ever heard about.

I got it all God is great
I just found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching your past videos. I've been in perimenopause over 10 years and had thought I heard it all, but I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you!
I am so happy to hear that my videos are helpful in some way.
I found this one. The fiber and digestive enzymes has helped a lot. Thank you, thank you. You are truly appreciated.
GERD and LPR (silent reflux) hit me this year and my god do I feel it. How anyone can hold a job down with these digestive issues beats me. It has absolutely knocked the stuffing out of me. My energy levels are so low and on a strict alkaline diet. The only thing that has improved my health. Apple cider vinegar, peppermint and ginger are bad triggers for me. GERD needs low acid foods to heal naturally.
Thank you kari❤🌹
Kari, your channel is a lifesaver for me! I know this post isn't about itchiness, but I wanted to say this is one of my newer systems that is taking its toll on me. I started taking one antihistamine when I get one of these flares. It makes me so tired, but it's better than scratching in front of people. I end up not having another itchy episode for a few days.
I’m happy my channel has been helpful to you. The itching can be terrible. Sorry!😔
For me a pain pill takes care of all my problems
Kari , thank you for your video's,I learn something new every time I watch one.
I’m so happy to hear that!😁 Thanks for sharing!
Ok for all ladies suffering here are some tips
Soak fenugreek seeds and drink chew them early morning
Eat fruit
Cook fresh eat light meals
Eat fennel post meals
Drink mint tea with green cardomom hot is best
Add carom seeds to any food that causes bloating ( indians do that all the time )
Early morning drink corrainder cumin and carom seed tea helps with digestion
For constipation which i suffer from
Drink hot water do yoga especially squats and twists helps a lot!
Hope this helps, moneopause sucks but lets say to hell with everything abd yes to life !!
I love you personality, you have good energy and are funny. Also l love the information you have thank you.
Thank you so much for the information very helpful!!
My pleasure!😊
Thankyou for all your videos due to menapuse puts my wifes mind at rest
I think by me using my personal steam spa ( purchased from Amazon, it was a little over 100.00 ) helps with cortisol , I use it In the evening
What's this
WOW this is SO ME in many ways! I’m literally a mess with MY system! I feel like I’m literally laying in MY deathbed 💀 dying it’s SO bad! It never gets better! I’ve lost weight dealing with perimenopause! months back I got my weight up then I lost weight again and it’s really gotten bad! I eat small portion meals and it’s usually the same food scrambled eggs/breakfast potatoes and cut it up so small like your feeding a toddler including portion size! then after I eat as time goes on I feel like I OVERATE a massive meal and it feels like the food does NOT digest just sits there for hours and hours then I start feeling NAUSEOUS but I never end up getting SICK but I get a bag ready close in case I do 🙄 then I’m NOT hungry or have an appetite for many hours later SO it’s to the point if I’m lucky only 2 small meals an entire day sometimes I get a small snack in there if I feel a little appetite 😭😮💨😱 this perimenopause life is MISERABLE I feel like it’s killing ME! fast 💨 question is regular apples 🍎 sauce ok to eat or would that effect the stomach❓🤍
How are u doing now?did u find a routine or product that helps? Currently going through the same issues feels like I'm dying too
@@rosepalmer3525 NO it’s completely miserable same situation actually has gotten WORSE for ME! (CRY) please give ME details what you’re going through 🤍
@CYndibabI spent a small fortune going from doctors to naturopath. Feeling like am at deaths door most of the time Feeling like am fighting for my life.hardest illness have ever experienced
Now am having severe nausea n heart burn some time with palpitations..everything thing I eat gives me nausea. N it's soo wearing my nervous system down.
What I ve decided to do now is to eat mostly fruits for most of the day n coconut water n have 1 cooked meal.. I currently on antacid meds. Hopefully this will help balance things out. I noticed for me papaya n mangoes does better with my stomach.
We just have to keep experimenting n see what sticks..stay away from pepper n fpicy foods..I was offered some food n it had a little pepper n it set my stomach off n now am suffering for it.

Your channel is so fantastic kari, I learn something in every video and I really enjoy watching which is so important! Keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate them!
Kari, I am so thankful I stumbled upon your channel. I wish doctors knew more about all of these issues to better assist and ease our minds. Heartburn and nausea is really getting me down the past month, I assume from high cortisol and lack of stomach acid?? Sleeping has become a chore with all the reflux…unless I stop eating around 4pm. 😕
Oh, and Thank you for encouraging the use of collagen. Game changer for me!
@@8792camille I occasionally have a touchy stomach too. It sucks! Collagen is a game changer in midlife if you take a good one.
Can relate to this. Love your videos.Can you make a video on the changing body shape in menopause and how to reverse it. Ty dear ❤
Thank you soooooooo much!!! ...
So grateful for you. This really helped me a whole lot. God Bless You. 🙏🏾

Thank you! Really great and helpful information to help ease anxiety on the symptoms of indigestion. Thank you once again!
Ingegestion l take optic all day ones❤ thank you for your video s ♥️🌹
This is why I ended up in the ER last week. Smh!
🥺
Sorry
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. THANK YOU 💗 I WILL
It’s my pleasure! I’m happy you enjoy my content.🥰
@@KariAnneWright thank you so much I thought I am gonna die cause I didn't know it's can happen at 44 years
Ive noriced some days my digestives are good and some days I have nausea, bloating or mild cramps. Is this common
Unfortunately digestion is unpredictable in menopause. Diet is very important.
@@KariAnneWright Thank you Kerry. Yes, I've changed my diet and noticed a big difference.
Thank you so much Kari!!! Great video! This info helps so much!
Thank you very much for the info. ❤😊
My only problem is that I can't eat candy like I used to. Too much sugar makes me sleepy 😴
Thank you 🙏🏽💯
mine feelin like somethin stuck at my throat its kill me went i eat its like it there it may me very confuse
Yes I have that as well. It’s scary. Sorry you are struggling with this.
Thank you for this information
Very informative 😊
Ciao Katy , è vero ciò che dici. Io ho anche problemi intestinali Ne potresti parlare per favore? Grazie❤
Hi im experiencing almost all the symptoms mentioned in perimenopause and menopause but i. Also losing weights
😢
Aha! This video is talking about me!😜
Thanks so much Kari...I have had that weird sensation in the stomach and YES ithought that it was palpitations,but it wasnt.....WHEN WILL THIS ALL STOP????????? any way thanks again,I do wish to say something...MY G,P is a good friend and yep.....she HARDLY knows anything about THE MENOPAUSE....if anything the only thing that I can vouche on is that the TESTS I have gone through can sink a battleship......Better safe than sorry,but when the sensations come,I lose the colour on my face and have to stir myself a bit...it passes quickly and lets hope so will the menopause.....THANK YOU SOMUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s my pleasure! Unfortunately menopause and nutrition are not taught extensively in med school. It’s such a shame it’s practically a crime. They are taught diseases and medications. I hope you come through this quickly and your symptoms ease up!
Hello maam.....i have strange knotty feeling in my upper abdomen,also burning in the middle area of esophagus,i feel bubbling there......my CT scan, sonography, endoscopy,papsmear,pylori test are all noemal............will i ever be better??????
I am tired of this .
Is this normal in menopause?
I’m sorry you’re struggling. Menopause affects the digestive tract but obviously I can’t say what is causing your issue.
@@KariAnneWright I now strongly link it to menopause........because everything else is normal
My doctor wants to remove my GALLBLADDER I am saying “ hell no” It this menopause or do I need the gall bladder removed???????
You’ll have to refer to your doctor about your medical status. I don’t have that information.
Get a 2nd opinion. Look for a woman that understands menopause.
Me over here after having gastric bypass 20 yrs ago: My stomach technically doesn’t have stomach acid 🤣 Help… now what 🤣🤣🤣
😳😔
Morning kari i have heard that apple cider vinegar is good for your stomach in menapuse i have been having pains in my stomach last couple of days im 60 can you confirm if this helps please ❤
It is suppose to help raise stomach acid to aid in digestion. I have not tried it.
Drink organic extra virgin olive oil in the morning on empty stomach
Hi Keri, can digestive issues cause weight loss?
Yes but if digestive issues are causing you to lose weight and it isn’t related to eating less due to discomfort you should see the doctor for a check up to make sure you are absorbing nutrients and are not deficient in some way. I hope you get to the bottom of things.
@@KariAnneWright thank you kari, but true am really really eating less and healthier than a year ago. Went for blood rest three months ago everything was normal but I can’t eat much and get hangry quite 😀
@@SweetGirl-ym1sv Happy your bloodwork is normal.
Hi Kari I'm in perimenopause can eyes problem occurs in perimenopause
Yes! Dry eyes and blurry vision are common complaints. I cannot live without daily drops.
Yes it does, gritty eyes, dry eyes, blurry and sensitive to lights so get to the doctors to check if there are no underlying factors like Blood Pressure and Diabetes
I have burning sensation in my stomach off and on
Me too and I don't know what causes it.
@@tammyshabazborek Hi I really think it comes with age/menopause/Perimenopause. It’s crazy how much women bodies go thru oh also I’ve started taking mastic gum and it really help with the stomach burning Sensation
I have burning in my stomach also sometimes it move and go to my back then my legs and it will go away but it comes back on and off some food that I eat cause it also oh when will all these things be over.....God bless us all ladies
@@novenag7311 same left side it goes behind shoulder and arm so annoying and burns
Yesterday evening i was constapated and did my poop twice but it was an incompleate bowel movements. Everytime i push to poop my stomach would pain and after i felt stomach sick that i had to take gravol and senokot.
@@chrisiequinn4517 Digestion slows so much in menopause. It causes so many issues and discomforts.
So I don't have a period I still get the pains like I still have it
That is exactly what I am experiencing, cramps but no period each month.
Same😢
Same here😥
Hello lovely.should be a blessing but,and not sure as in have watched many but not all your vlogs. Public and underarm hair loss. X
Before perimenopause, dairy did not make me constipated. But now whenever I eat dairy I have digestive issues. I have started increasing the fibre in my diet and drinking water after I eat dairy. There is a metallic taste in my mouth from the combination of dry mouth and reflux, and I have noticed that on the days that I am constipated the metallic taste is more intense. The mouth rinses that I am using alleviate dry mouth symptoms, but only for short periods of time. Does metallic taste go away after perimenopause?
I still deal with dry mouth in post menopause but we are all different. Maybe you’ll be lucky.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Kari. I also hope that I will be lucky when I am in post-menopause. Right now it seems that every time I get effective treatment for one symptom, another peri-symptom starts up. I recently recovered from a cold, but post-nasal drip is still an issue. So, the phlegm, combined with peri-reflux and and peri-constipation, are giving me a lot of discomfort. I am constantly clearing my throat and it makes my throat sore. 😩
Can someone in menopause take milk and tea if yes with type of tea and milk
Hi karry im from mauritius im having too much gas bloating gas in my back palpitation plz some advice
Loss of estrogen in menopause slows digestion and can cause issues. Working on gut health, chewing well and eating slowly, avoiding problematic foods, not drinking a half hour before and after eating, certain teas like green tea, ginger tea, peppermint tea or chamomile and getting adequate sleep at night can all help.
What can you suggest a very good digestive enzymes
I don’t use digestive enzymes so I don’t know which brands are superior.
Lol thank you.💖 that's me
So if u haven't had a period in three months do u still get pain like u do
Many women do yes. Perhaps not every month.
What causes vertigo l am on evorol Conti patches low dose would l have to go on a higher dose ❤
A list of things can cause dizziness or vertigo. You would have to rule out all of the possibilities like an ear issue, blood sugar imbalance, anxiety, dehydration, hormone imbalance, inadequate sleep etc.
I do suffer with anxiety thank you for your reply ♥️🌹
Hi kari im having digestive issue my food is sitting in my gut getting bloating what i can do thks
