Gut symptoms after menopause are more common than most women expect — and more common than most content actually talks about. In this episode, Christel answers the question she has been getting in her inbox: I'm on the other side now. Does any of this still apply to me? Whether you finished menopause two years ago or ten, this one is for you. Christel explains why bloating, constipation, and unpredictable bowels can persist long after menopause — or even get worse over time — covering the physiology, the lifestyle shifts that often go unnoticed, and the one pattern she sees most in clinic that tends to make things harder, not better.

• Why oestrogen staying consistently low affects your gut differently from it fluctuating
• How your gut microbiome changes in postmenopause — and why that matters for bloating and regularity
• The lifestyle shifts that quietly contribute to gut symptoms and are easy to miss
• Why the pelvic floor matters more for bowel health after menopause than most people realise
• The one thing most postmenopausal women do when their gut plays up — and why it often backfires
• When symptoms need a GP, not a diet change
