Nee Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 IBS-M. I have been diagnosed with IBS as a child and had sx until age 40. Only a few flare-ups for 20 yrs, then age 60, came back with a vengeance; Currently it’s controlling my daily living. I either have diarrhea with left lower ab pains, bloating and lower back pains...or hard mucous stools, impaction, weakness, fainting and vomiting grn/brn liquid. Diet doesn’t seem to determine episodes. Since this occurs more with women, does estrogen play a part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esjie Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 I think it can..... So sorry @Nee, that you are having such a rough time. Vomiting green/brown liquid could be bile or something? I really don't know. But that isn't a common feature of IBS, I don't think (?) Is there a chance right now of getting that checked out with a doctor? Just to be more on the safe side. I am over 60 too. I am 68. My IBS didn't start until age 65. Then went away and came back 2020. In my case kind of triggered to come back I think because I got Covid....who knows? But I got a bit of it in 2018 too. Before that my gut was fine. Cast iron belly, and my diet was excellent. Aren't post-menopausal women producing a LOT less estrogen? Also, if it was connected with a drop in estrogen, it didn't come for me until 15 years after the menopause. I would have thought if there was a connection it would have happened sooner? I remember when I had periods, I did sometimes get loose stools for a day or so at the same time as my period. But I never thought it was IBS. I didn't know about IBS then. I thought it just "went with the territory." But I have heard that some women get IBS badly, connected with menstrual cycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxJonas Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 It seems to me that your symptoms are most likely associated with elevated estrogen levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar problem, and it wasn't very good. I got tested and found that my estrogen levels were very high. One doctor advised me to take https://behemothlabz.com/product/arimistane-liquid drops. And it helped me a lot. My hormone levels returned to normal, and the unpleasant symptoms almost disappeared. So I think you need to get your estrogen levels tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
