Menopause Matters magazine ISSUE 76 out now. (Summer issue, June 2024)
My IBS started around meno too. I think its CLKD who has had it since she was small. I think mine was stress related after a period of events that just kept on coming. I was on HRT at the time. Good luck with your new regime when you start but also start to consider what you eat and drink to see if there are any triggers you can avoid. HRT might help a little but all IBS sufferers have things that make it much worse. Honeyb
Hi DandelionCan I suggest that when you start your new HRT regime you keep to a good routine of regular meals, a bit of daily exercise (maybe a 15 minute walk) and go to bed and get up at the same time each day, so you can determine how you feeling more easily? The discipline of maintaining a routine can be really helpful and could help your IBS as well.Good luck. Dg x
