I have a wonderful doctor who specializes in hormones and who comes at this from a naturopathic view, and of the whole person. I have considered probably 20 different supplements, foods, etc and nothing works. Black cohosh for example made my blood pressure jump to the moon in 3 days. Other supplements which are supposed to be great all make me sick. We have tried bioidential hormones and patches and creams and nothing works. We are going back to oral hormones because my quality of life has become zero and there has to be a risk-benefit thing-----believe me, for two years we have tried a zillion things which have worked for other patients. It seems that my estrogen needs to get to a therapeutic level before the hot flashes will stop, and therefore the side effects which for me are horrible. Was just curious if anyone else had such issues with the gut and nausea from hot flashes.
