A member asked:
Is it the prometrium (micronized progesterone) or estrogen that causes stomach bloating when taking hrt?

Prometrium (micronized progesterone): Typically Progesterone causes the bloating associated with hrt. Progesterone causes smooth muscle to contract more slowly, which means slower transit time of your food and more production of air in your intestines.
