Why Use Natural Menopause Digestive Issues Treatment?

What Causes Menopause Digestive Issues?
Digestive issues develop in menopause as a result of the gut flora changes that occur due to the hormonal changes. These include change in taste, dry mouth, changes in digestion, and different reactions to certain foods. Some women may also develop nausea, vomiting, bloating, trapped wind, abdominal pain, cramps, heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea, and constipation.
Natural Menopause Digestive Issues Treatment
To treat menopause digestive issues naturally, do the following:
Increase dietary fiber
Studies have shown that high dietary fiber intake is beneficial for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), duodenal ulcer, diverticulitis, constipation, and hemorrhoids. Therefore increase dietary fiber intake to help relieve menopause digestive issues by consuming legumes like beans, chickpeas, dark, green leafy vegetables like spinach, wholegrains like wholegrain bread.
Take a fiber supplement
If you are not able to get adequate fiber from your diet, consider taking a fiber supplement.
We recommend Now Psyllium Husks Caps because they contain natural soluble fiber to maintain intestinal health and regularity. Psyllium swells upto 50 times its original volume when added to liquid and this bulking action helps it relieve constipation. They are unflavored. They are vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, corn-free, and non-GMO and kosher. The dose is 3 capsules taken with 8oz of a liquid 2-3 times a day. Each serving of 3 capsules provides 1.1 grams of dietary fiber (1.0 grams of soluble fiber and 0.1 grams of insoluble fiber). It can be purchased from our Nairobi Almasi Skincare Shop located on Moi Avenue, Sawa Mall, 3rd floor, Shop C15. Call 0721963156 or WhatsApp +254 721 963 156 to order.

Increase dietary probiotics
Increase dietary probiotics to heal the gut microbiome. Therefore increase your intake of yogurt with live cultures, buttermilk, kefir, miso soup, sauerkraut, kimchi, tempeh, kombucha, apple cider vinegar, sour pickles, soft cheeses, and sourdough bread.
Take probiotics supplements
Take probiotic supplements to heal the gut microbiome if you are not able to get ample amounts from your diet.
We recommend Physician’s Choice Menopause Total Support Probiotic Supplement because it contains prebiotics, probiotics and botanicals that aid in digestive health, hormone balance, mood balance, and weight management during all stages of menopause. It contains 15 billion colony forming units (50B CFUs) of 5 probiotic strains to replenish the menopausal biome. It also contains black cohosh which provides relief from hot flashes, night sweats and mood swings. It also contains resveratrol which is an antioxidant that supports healthy aging, balanced mood and brain health. This probiotic for menopause symptom support is also 3rd party tested for purity and potency.
.
Exercise Regularly
Regular exercise can improve gut motility, relieve constipation and bloating. Regular exercise also reduces stress hormones which improves gut health. Therefore engage in 150 minutes of aerobic exercise each week and strength training thrice a week.
Sleep adequately
Ensure that you sleep adequately since sleep deprivation disrupts the gut brain connection which can result in slower digestion, increased sensitivity to abdominal pain and increased inflammation. Do this by improving your sleep hygiene by going to bed at the same time and waking up at the same time. Ensure that you also avoid blue light from phones, computers and television before bed. and not scrolling your phone while in bed. Avoid napping during the day and take warm baths and sip warm drinks before going to bed.
Manage Stress
Stress can worsen cramps, bloating and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Therefore practice relaxation techniques like meditation and abdominal breathing daily. You can also engage in stress relieving activities like journaling and listening to music.

Drink chamomile tea
Drink chamomile tea because it contains phytoestrogens which act like estrogen in the body and can help reduce the menopausal symptoms of hormonal imbalances. Chamomile also relaxes the intestinal smooth muscles which makes it beneficial for menopause digestive issues. Do not drink chamomile tea if you are taking the blood thinner warfarin or cyclosporin.
Drink ginger tea
Drink ginger tea because it can relieve nausea.
Keep a food diary to identify your triggers
Buy a notebook and record the food you ate before you developed the digestive symptoms. This will help you identify the food triggers so that you can avoid them.
