Nausea linked to perimenopause

[cristiana]

Have any of our lady members experienced this?  I'd like to know more.  A non-coeliac friend of mine has been experiencing this but I'm wondering how common it is.  For myself, I do feel nauseous from time to time and wonder if actually it's hormonal rather than cc.  It's too easy to blame everything on gluten!  (Note: It's not actually being sick, just feeling a bit off.)

Hi -

I'm in the middle of peri-menopause with hopes to be done with whole thing very soon (can't come soon enough if you ask me). I have been experiencing weird periodic nausea for the last couple of months and until I just read your post had not considered the two might be linked.  I've actually had a couple of episodes where it felt like I would feel better if I actually threw up, threw up, and did indeed feel instantly better.

I think it might be related more to gastric issues and not perimenopause unless it is migraine-related (perimenopause) and can cause nausea.

Hi Cristiana,

I do believe that a symptom of perimenopause is nausea.  It certainly is for me at times.  I don't actually get sick, but will feel like I'm going to.  I googled the two together and found a bunch of articles...this one is pretty easy reading and makes a lot of sense.

Hope that helps!

How funny!  I was just online and this notification came up!  I'd even forgotten I'd posted it!  It's taken over a year for someone to respond - but thank you!☺️

I don't think it can have lasted very long as I'd forgotten all about it.  However, my friend has had it for years and now says HRT has helped.  

I do get sick headaches occasionally and I do think they are probably hormonal.

Oh, that's funny!  I didn't see the original date, just the recent reply.  I do still get a bit nauseous as I get close to my period.
