The Bloating! - Menopause Message Board

HI Ladies!

It seems that a lot of us are experiencing the bloating and weight gain....I have Dr. Lee's book, and am folowing a proper diet, use the prgest. cream, all that. Do you wake up okay, then 3 hours later your pants seem to have shrunk a size?! I hate that! I take 3000 mg of flax oil daily...what are you ladies doing for the bloating / weight gain? Any success? I also work out for about 45 min. a day....but the bloat and weight keep coming! Any suggestions?

Thank you!

I tried everything to control my weight in the beginning. Nothing helped. I just kept gaining and gaining. I gave up trying to control my weight. I reached a certain point in my weight and I can keep from gaining more but I can't lose anything. I give up. If I can keep from gaining I'm happy.

I have changed my lifestyle totally - I have also managed to shed more than 25kg and rarely get bloated any more (though the fact that it is winter here probably helps!). I stopped eating grains, starchy veggies and other sugary stuff and went on a low carb diet, drinking lots and lots of water as part of the different way of eating. I can see that this is a regime I can follow quite easily and I dont get the bloating or chronic indigestion I used to get. I will say that I had around 50kg to lose so I had to do something pretty radical!
