Is there a link between irritable bowel syndrome and menopause?

Menopause, due to the hormonal imbalance it causes, can make symptoms worse for those who already live with irritable bowel syndrome.

Indeed, during menopause, the drop in estrogen and progesterone decreases the production of stomach acid and bile, and also affects the digestive muscles and the way food passes along the gastrointestinal tract.

If you have symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and/or diarrhea, talk to a doctor right away.

Have you started to experience muscle waste, joint aches and pains or bone loss?
Well, there's a name for that now and I, for one, am very glad that these things are finally being researched.

Fifty-one percent of humans are born with ovaries. As the ovarian production of estrogen diminishes in midlife and ultimately stops, it is estimated that more than 47 million women worldwide enter the menopause transition annually. More than 70% will experience musculoskeletal symptoms and 25% will....

Do you sleep with the window open?
I was just talking to some friends this week about thw good sleep I've been getting with my window open.
No night sweats and it's sleep so deep I don't get up to go to the bathroom!

Do you open your window at night?

The majority of U.S. adults sleep with their bedroom windows and doors closed, despite research saying open windows can improve air quality — and sleep quality.

Hey y'all! I hope all are well. I wanted to jump in and tell you a bit about my peri/ menopause journey.

The first time I can remember thinking I might be in perimenopause was the Winter of 2015. I had just moved into a new home and gone through a traumatic experience with my stepson.

One day I took a nap and when I woke up I felt really weird. What is going on? I was convinced to go to the dr who had me go to the ER via ambulance 😳 to be told everything looks great.

And that's when the anxiety began. I was convinced I was going to have a ❤ attack while I was home alone with my babies and I had no idea why I had these thoughts.

Soon the anxiety would turn into panic attacks. And so the nightmare begins.

Can anyone else relate? Let me know in the comments.

I've officially been on this journey for 1 year.

It started off a little shakey but I kept at it. Around October things started picking up. Zumba in the Park got some patrons and I was stoked!

Afterwards I got back to Bellydance and fell in love all over again. Lots of enquiries but no sign ups left me a bit discouraged but finally I got a client! Then another!!

Throughout it all I never stopped learning and adding new dance vocabulary and choreographies to the mix.

By the time I got injured I had Zumba in the Park, 1 dedicated bellydance student and weekly Zumba on Zoom. I was just about to launch Hula classes when I had top stop altogether.

It's been 3 long, disappointing months, pretty much the whole Summer, that I have either had to stay off of my feet or rehabbing my achilles. I was in a soft cast for over a month and there were times I wasn't sure I was ever going to be able to dance again.

But I'm here to tell ya...
You can't keep me down! And I'm looking at starting classes back up in September!! So get ready to shimmy and sweat! Ive got 20 pounds to lose!! 😂
