Digestive health is an often overlooked yet significant concern for women during perimenopause and menopause. Emerging evidence suggests a tangible link between menopause and IBS-type symptoms, with many women experiencing bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, and abdominal discomfort. This session will explore findings from recent surveys and research, including a Harley Street at Home study and an MSc Dietetics project, which highlight the prevalence of digestive health issues in menopause. We will review clinical experiences, the role of the gut microbiome-oestrogen axis, and the need for better recognition of digestive symptoms in menopause care. The project now moves into its next phase, inviting healthcare professionals and their patients to take part in a trial and access dietitian-led digestive health resources free of charge. This talk will provide evidence-based insights and practical strategies for integrating digestive health support into menopause care pathways.
