I suffered with irritable bowel in my 20's and 30's. It settled down and virtually disappeared in my 40's and early 50's but during the menopause it has come back with a vengeance, accompanied by severe nausea and upset stomach, What can I do?

Nausea is really common in the menopause, I have posted a video blog on this and what you can do to help yourself so do take a look.

You may need to do a food diary for a week or so to try and figure out which foods may be upsetting your digestion.

Unfortunately, we can suddenly become sensitive to foods which we used to be able to tolerate and cutting these out of the diet can often be beneficial. Wheat and dairy are often the major culprits!
