But it might actually be your hormones.

Menopause can cause:
✓ slower digestion
✓ less stomach protection
✓ more bloating
✓ constipation
✓ increased acid reflux

The food didn't necessarily change. Your digestive system did.  Estrogen was a key helper in all the tissues of the digestive system; with low estrogen the digestive system just doesn't function as well.

You used to enjoy Stampede breakfasts without thinking twice. Now, one plate of pancakes leaves you bloated, uncomfortable, or reaching for antacids.

It's not just getting older. Estrogen helps regulate digestion, protect the lining of your digestive tract, and keep food moving smoothly. As hormone levels change during perimenopause and menopause, rich foods, alcohol, and spicy meals can suddenly affect you differently.

You don't have to skip Stampede—you may just need to support your digestion in new ways.
