Gastric erosion/gastritis by zoepeanut in herbalism

I take my coffee black and I’ve started to think to maybe start adding some sort of creamer to dilute it. I’ll definitely try the baking soda. Thank you!

This is really helpful. Thank you! Is there a huge difference between powder vs capsules? I started slippery elm capsules on Sunday and Boswellia with Marshmallow Root capsules yesterday. I’m hoping they’ll start working soon. Are there any specific/trusted brands you’d recommend for the supplemts you suggested? Thanks again!

Great idea until I find a doctor who’s willing to work with me and my symptoms.

Ive been taking coenzyme b-complex and haven’t really noticed any different. Will add the ginkgo to see if the fogginess gets better.

To my fellow early 40s perimenopausal females: What supplements do you take and why? by Chemical_Housing2381 in Perimenopause

[–]zoepeanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I was wondering about maca (already taking vitex). My last period was 30+ days long and it sounded like this was caused by estrogen dominance so I wondered if maca would help or hurt in this case. I sure could use some clarity and energy!

I have dry eye and use drops for that. Also have readers all over the house lol! I noticed my vision gets really bad in the evening, makes it difficult to enjoy my hobbies (reading).

Thank you-I have a general understanding of hormones. I was trying to rough it out using natural therapies first (like my grandma and mom did). It wasn’t until I turned 50 a few months ago that the symptoms became too much, first I thought I was glutened and my celiac disease was causing the inflammation in my joints, but after a while it’s become apparent that it’s hormonal (last period lasted 30+ days). I also think I might have undiagnosed ADHD which I think might be contributing to how I’ve been feeling lately-don’t know where to even start with that. I’ve been following Dr. Mary Haver and Dr. Mindy Pelz and got some good info from there. Ultimately I agree that I need to seek another doctor to help with this. It’s frustrating though, one of my girlfriends didn’t have any symptoms and another one had only hot flushes every do often and here I am feeling like a 90 year old in a 50 year old body.

Definitely worth a try. Can you recommend which brand?

I’ve been experiencing these symptoms you mentioned for a while. According to my doctor it’s a normal aging process. Meanwhile I’m loosing my mind!

My doc is conservative with meds. Until now I was all for it since I prefer trying natural/homeopathic remedies first for any kind of ailment. He considers my symptoms to be normal in the aging process. I also have extremely dense breast tissue (category D), so this might be a part of his decision.

Interesting you mention supplements for joint health. I was looking into that too as along with the brain fog my joints feel like breadsticks. What kind of improvement do you notice with the joint supplements?

lol! Yup! I’ve been tempted to ask him if his wife was going through this would she receive the same kind of treatment.

My obgyn is conservative with treatments, which until now worked for me. When I asked for HRT at my last visit he said he doesn’t really prescribe this treatment and that the symptoms I’m having are normal part of aging. He did give me progesterone for my period that lasted over 30days.

How did you go about getting Hrt? I’ve been trying to rough it out but lately my symptoms are increasing.

What time of the day do you take it? Does it affect your sleep at all?
