A member asked:

Constant bloated feeling. bowel movements daily. taking omeprazole for reflux & peri menopausal- no period 10 mos. been eating high fiber but past 2 weeks bloated. 5 mos ago gyno checkup had ultrasound and was fine. almost feels like pms. am scared?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Although bowel habits vary considerably between individuals, excess fiber can cause "bloating", so add more water while reducing fiber slightly to modify bloating. Age "51" is a little early for true menopause, but ovulation is delayed in late 40's-early 50's, hence lack of periods. Ask your physician about acquired lactose deficiency, which can also cause bloating.
