Treatments and Symptoms

Gastrointestinal Changes

What it feels like

Gas, bloating, irregularity, stomach cramps and other digestive issues

Why it happens

Estrogen also helps regulate cortisol, which is the “fight or flight” hormone that gets triggered by stress. So when estrogen starts declining, not only do feelings of stress increase, but ramped up cortisol slows down digestion, leading to a host of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms.

According to the 200,000 respondents who have taken our Menopause Assessment:

‍

51%

experience GI changes in menopause

‍

17%

report that GI changes are the symptom that has the most severe impact on their quality of life

Treatment options for
Gastrointestinal Changes
include:
FDA-Approved Hormonal Medications
FDA-Approved Non-Hormonal Medications
Nutrition and Diet Reccommendations
Fitness and Movement Advice
Mindfulness and Sleep Support
Supplements and Vitamins
