Why is it you're taking them? Are they helping those symptoms at all?

Been on starflower for two weeks, no change to 'power surges' (lol) but tummy definitely off . . . Never thought of the connection . . , 😕 Is it a common side effect?

Hi,

don't take my word for it, but just had a quick look on google, 2 pages mention bloating, belching and diarrhea as some of the possible side effects of starflower oil. But please have a look yourself 😊

What's mime maca ?

Just maca root, surprised you went with starflower, seems more expensive and more hassle

Oh ok, they haven't done me much good, my own research seems better.........

Very unhelpful a few years back, menopause is nasty

Hmmm, somewhere else it says that sometimes it takes a while before these symptoms settle as the body gets used to it.

I would have a good look into this or Diana's idea? Most supplements do have side effects or should only be taken for a period of time 😊

If you check your blood type, it does help, tried too much over the years, hormones have been a real pain, the source of much upset.

Only Chinese medicine and this have been any good

Brilliant thanks,

Hormones upset the bile, hence stopping digestion, upsetting bowels too, rebalance hormones, eat lower carb.

This excludes the normal bowel/digestion/bloat typical causes

Definitely think it's starflower causing me issues 😕 Hubby pointed out its an anagram of "slower fart" 😳

Stopping it ax it's given me the worst week of eating in 8 months- upset tummy/pain/under eating then losing control due to hunger 😞😞😞

Thank you June and Diana, would not have made the connection without you 😊

Maca saved me, after a month of 20 days of bloating, painful, nasty and just uncomfortable.

If you are o positive, coconut should be an avoid, I only have the milk in curry these days

All supplements can have side effects, including maca root. Not advised if you have thyroid problems. Can cause headaches and high blood pressure, amongst other things.
