Menopause hit me like a truck—night sweats, mood swings, and now constipation that worsens everything. My doc says stress slows digestion, trapping waste and toxins that amplify hot flashes. Last month, I was bloated for days, my anxiety spiked, and sleep vanished. Started yoga, chia seeds, and probiotics—slow progress, but better than laxatives! Anyone else trapped in this cycle? How do you balance gut health and stress during menopause? #menopausejourney #guthealth
