You've just finished a meal, and before you know it, your stomach feels like it's ready to burst. Many women over 40 experience this not-so-pleasant, not often talked about, side effect of perimenopause, often leaving them feeling uncomfortable and confused about why it is happening.

By understanding the underlying causes and using the practical solutions in this episode, you can take  steps to feeling more comfortable and in control of your body.
