Hi Robotwars, I too have diverticulitis & IBS (which may or may not be an IBD) & I do sometimes think that we know our own body better than dr's do,in some cases.A dr is NOT a specialist in gut problems & if the HRT affected your IBS then it did,no matter how often the dr tells you it doesn't. I really do think that sometimes we have to stand our ground.Hope you feel better soon xx

Hahaha sparkle,it's so good when someone makes you smile,my book has gone from a rather racy & hot novel to a dull gardening book  ;D

Hello ladies.

I had my last period and a diagnosis of an autoimmune disease within a few months of each other. I revised my diet and gave up all dairy and subsequently meat. I've experimented with various supplements and for nearly three years all my meals have been whole food plant based. Unfortunately my hormones have remained stubbornly out of balance! Even my tablespoon of flaxseed daily hasn't helped but I haven't been taking that for very long. Perhaps weirdly my weight has never increased no matter what HRT I've been taking although I seem to have phases of feeling very hungry to then having no appetite at all.

We are all different so perhaps that explains why a hormone balancing diet doesn't work for everyone.

Wishing everyone well.

I've been veggie for 26 years now & I do eat healthily (mostly😊) but I'm now taking b12,magnesium & a daily all in one for over 50 year olds, I do feel quite healthy but having diverticulitis I can't take too much fibre as it sets the disease off but I'm always willing to learn what other supplements I need to take during this pesky (understatement of the year) menopause

We are all so different jari,I've had flushes and night sweats for going on 5 years,I'm 55,ive tried lots of natural products but none have really helped,I'm just kinda used to them now,the severity of them change & sometimes they go all together so I just let them get on with it now😅
