    It's common for women going through Perimenopause and menopause to have gastrointestinal issues.
    A year ago I all of a sudden could no longer have gluten, over the year it's now turned into milk, heavy soy, and even a lot of vegies will cause lots of bloating. It's very frustrating. I'm thinking about trying some probiotics and seeing if that helps any.

    Oh and welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me if you like!
