How Menopause Affects The Gut Health

How Menopause Effects The Gut Health

Gut health during menopause can be a real tummy ache.

And we mean this both literally and figuratively.

When we speak about the gut, we are talking about the entire digestive system. The digestive system plays a big part in the overall wellness of the body. That is why any problems with you’re gut health can spell big problems especially during menopause

What are the symptoms of menopausal gut health problems?

Different digestive problems can come with different symptoms. But lets take a look at the most common ones:

  • Cramps
  • Constipation
  • Gas
  • Bloating
  • diarrhoea
  • A false urge to have a bowel movement.

What causes menopausal gut problems?

Generally speaking, gut health problems can be caused by various factors. But we are talking about menopausal gut health problems and they are caused by hormonal imbalances. To be more specific, menopausal gut health is caused by an increase in the hormones cortisol and estrogen.

Cortisol:

Cortisol is the hormone released by stress. It naturally increases in the time leading up to menopause, and it becomes even worse during menopause for obvious reasons. While menopause can be a stressful time for any woman, it can become even more so when your gut health suffers under it. It also has other, less direct, effects on the gut. Let me explain. Some people eat a lot more, especially unhealthy junk food, when they become stressed. Others resort to eating almost nothing when dealing with stress. Both of these can have a major negative impact on gut health.

Estrogen:

To further add fuel to the fire, when estrogen levels decrease during menopause, it causes the cortisol levels to rise even more. This can cause the blood pressure and the blood sugar to rise, and also slow down the digestion of food. Common symptoms here include gas, bloating, and constipation. The decrease of estrogen has many other negative effects on the body as well. In fact, this is where most menopause problems originate from.

How do I treat menopausal gut health problems?

The Manna Digestive Health Protocol:

Before doing anything else, we need to regain the balance in gut health. That can be done by following the Manna Digestive Health Protocol.

Lifestyle Changes:

This is the best place to start, as they are usually the easiest and most cost-effective treatments to apply. Some lifestyle changes include:

      • Drinking more water
      • Eating more greens
      • Getting in more high-fibre foods
      • Getting enough exercise
      • Sleeping enough (6-8 hours of quality sleep each night)

Amazing product
Ive been using Manna Health for 3 months now and simply can’t function without the menopause support. I can’t use conventional hormone-based menopause remedies due to medical reasons and Manna’s menopause support is the only thing that gets me through the day.
