FAQs
What causes menopause bloating?
1
Menopause bloating is often driven by a mix of hormone changes (especially fluctuating oestrogen), slower digestion, microbiome shifts, constipation, stress, and blood sugar instability. Often it’s not one food — it’s patterns (meal timing, portions, stress load, poor sleep).
How can I reduce belly bloat in menopause quickly?
2
Simple wins include slowing down meals, eating earlier/lighter dinners, balancing meals with protein + fibre + healthy fats, reducing fizzy drinks/sugar alcohols, supporting regular bowel movements, and adding a short walk after meals.
Is menopause bloating related to gut health?
3
Yes. Gut health plays a major role in menopause bloating because it influences digestion speed, fermentation/gas, inflammation, and how the body responds to stress. Supporting the gut can reduce bloating and improve energy and cravings.
Should I cut out dairy or gluten to stop menopause bloating?
4
Not automatically. Some women feel better reducing certain foods, but removing foods without a plan can lead to unnecessary restriction and missed nutrients. It’s better to identify triggers systematically and make targeted changes.
