Oh my God I had this so bad in 2020 and 2021. Had an endoscopy and was found to have gastritis and was rx Omeprazole. Never took the pills and started researching here on YT. I tried so many remedies… Apple cider vinegar, baking soda, lemon water, etc. it finally subsided honestly I don’t even k ow how cause I was doing so much! I had pain that radiated to my back and chest!!! Doctors did nothing and said nothing to help except pill pushing. HORRIBLE is an understatement!!! I also got terrible ringing in my ears at the same time!! Doctors didn’t help with that either! Have learned to tune it out and manage it by cutting out caffeine and sugar. I wish this on no one. Now I exercise a lot and drink lot of water not sure if that helps but it is does for me. I have suffered from a ton of peri symptoms and this is one of the WORST ones!!!!
I always find water helps, for me and for many women too! Glad to hear you have found some things that help!
Same here! Awful... I wish it would go away!!!
Gerd is worst symptoms 😢
This is my situation for now. Its terrible 😢
@@janemuteru3264going through the same situation.
I quit my daily black tea and avoid caffeine. This has greatly reduced my GERD and other menopause symptoms including nausea. Thanks so much Eileen. I've learned so much from your channel. ❤
You're so welcome! So glad to hear cutting out the caffeine has helped too! :)
This is a great video. I have been experiencing this so bad lately. Severe nausea. It's hard to eat.
Thank you. I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you for the in depth explanation of acid reflux/ gerd....this is one of my frequent problem...never knew it was also a menopause symtoms.....great information and a good vlog..knowledge is power...Thank you Eileen.❤
You're most welcome! Yes knowledge is power! ❤
I had acid reflux for some time. I was prescribed omeprazole which made it worse. I had it all checked out by my GP. I wasn't getting any better so started to google. I stopped the medication as it wasn't helping. I stopped drinking fizzy water. I thought it was okay to drink it as it wasn't flavoured but no it was causing me problems. I stopped eating oranges, tomatoes and curries. Stress was a big factor for me. It took time but I got there. It still can play up now and again but do as Eileen says and keep a food diary.
Thanks for your comment Sylvia! Great to hear that you found things to help! :)
Eat organic extra virgin olive oils in the morning on empty stomach or eat with foods help stomach problems.
Such a great topic clearly presented thank Elieen. I have bern suffering with GERD since 2020 im 5 years inbto my perimenopause. Like a lot these ladies finding my way through the process of eliminating culprit foods and lifestyle overhaul. All information so relavant thank you thank you 😊
You are most welcome Hydrangea! Great to hear you are finding thing that can help :)
Hi I have had this for 26 years on and off. What I have found is that diet is very important. All acid blockers deplete our nutrients so we then become deficient in vitamins. Try and eliminate all foods that don't agree with you. You will see a huge difference. Also take a good probiotic that really helps. We always reach out for medication first. But honestly if we consistent in eating correctly you will find yourself in a much better condition. Stay away from spicy foods...fizzy drinks....water is best. Make small changes in your diet...use lactose free milk and yogurt, this helped me. Consistency is key. All the best ladies. Thank you for the video very informative.
You are most welcome, and thank you for all your advice! SO great to hear you have found many things that help!
How well timed this is …as last night I had this…why..? ….well I eat late ..after our street party…so foe me eating anything after 6 gives me acid reflux in bed…
Great tips thank you.
Great that you can recognise the triggers now! Hope you enjoyed the street party though :) sounds fun!
Thank you for that, I have these symptoms. Really helpful info. Thanks so much
You're welcome Jane

Excellent video. Thank you.
De-stressing, low carb diet and eliminating seed oils completely from the diet helped me stop my 10 year old GERD at the age of perimenopausal 50!
That's a fantastic result Arifa!

Olive oil too??
@@Ishana_Intuitive must include Olive oil in your diet
What oils do you use?
I got this symptom for two years already. The lump in the throat makes me think all the time that I have a serious illness in there. It is horrible. Only reduciding carbs has heleped a lot, including veggies and fruit. Veggies gave me a lot of reflux.
Hope things are starting to improve for you now. You may find seeking the advice of a Nutritional Therapist helpful. They can find out why this is happening and formulate a personalised treatment plan for you with support

I do think I am going through peri menopause. I get acidity/acid reflux around my periods only. It does cause a lot of discomfort and nausea etc. The discomfort continues for couple of days and then it goes away. I take Pepcid if it gets really discomforting. My naturopathic doctor has prescribed Digestase2.0 to be taken around my periods to ease digestion.
Hope the Digestisan is helpful for you

I'm 52 post menopause. And I have been suffering with nausea for the last 6 months. The nausea usually is after I've eaten. Once a vomiting starts it's very hard for it to stop. Tomorrow I'm having an ultrasound of my gallbladder. But I know it's not that I know it's my hormones. I was sick everyday of my pregnancy and I feel kind of the same now.
Sorry to hear that Jean, it's a horrible symptom! I've posted a vlog on this and what you can do to help yourself so please do take a look.

I m having same symptoms since last week .carbohydrates n fried food r main culprit.just want to ask my Gerd problem will fix ..???
@@garimashrivastava13 unfortunately, it's really difficult to say as it will be different for everyone. Hopefully, if you are aware of the triggers and avoid these foods, that will be helpful for keeping symptoms at bay

Eat organic extra virgin olive oils in the morning on empty stomach or eat with foods help stomach problems. Some olive oils are fake
I have gas...... it is all the time........very depressing.........also I have warm stomach which leads to gas........ symptoms of reflux.......I don't have any trigger foods........I get up at night.... because I feel something has travelled right to the center of my heart.......it settles down in a few seconds........have started homeopathy and my doctor says it is hormonal changes....I am 50 and missed my period since past three months......and have seen a lot of change in pattern in past months....could this be menopausal?Have done my pylori test,ct scan, sonography, papsmear, endoscopy all reports are normal
Hi
Missing periods are often one of the first signs that you are starting the menopause so it is possible. Digestive issues are so common but hopefully, my tips will be helpful for you too
