Your bloat isn't a mystery. It's a message.
And it's not telling you to cut out more food.
I know that's not what you've been told. Most women spend months.....sometimes years eliminating gluten, dairy, FODMAPs, wondering what they're still missing.
But the bloat stays.
The jeans still don't fit.
Every meal still feels like a gamble.
Here's what nobody's telling you: your gut didn't just randomly turn on you.
Perimenopause changed the conditions your digestion runs on.
And until you fix that, the food stuff will never stick.
This is what's actually happening inside:
Digestion is slowing down because motility has dropped.
Food isn't breaking down because stomach acid, bile and enzymes are low.
Stress is draining your minerals and destabilising your hormones.
And a sluggish thyroid is quietly making all of it worse ( including why the weight won't budge)
No elimination diet touches any of that.
I worked with Rae after she'd already tried everything - antibiotics, low FODMAP, Nexium for her reflux. Years of it. She came to me still bloated, still constipated, and honestly just scared to eat anything.
We stopped guessing. Ran labs. Found the actual problem. Then we rebuilt her gut lining, motility, metabolic function and suppported her thyroid.
That's when things finally shifted....daily bowel movements without a laxative. Bloat finally easing. Weight starting to move.
Not because we found her trigger food. Because we fixed the system.
This is exactly what I'm breaking down in my free Perimenopause- IBS masterclass - the real reason you're still bloated and what to do about it.
DM me MASTERCLASS and I'll send you the details.
