Perimenopause, Nausea and Cycling

[Trekhawk]

Apparently nausea is quite common in perimenopause and yep have seen a doctor.

Here is a link to one article but there is a stack of info on it once you start looking.

I just thought I would check in at TE and see if any others had suffered from this during perimenopause and what worked for them.

Thanks everyone for your helpful advice.

Interesting! Thanks for the education and sorry you are having to deal with this. So far I am not, thank goodness. Hopefully reading the article doesn't give my suggestible mind any ideas!

I didn't realize there was a connection--just thought I was developing a queasy stomach. Interesting.

However, for long distance riding I carry ginger chews and use them when the nausea gets to me. Basically they're just chewy ginger candy....like a ginger flavored shot block. There are several manufacturers, but my favorite is from the ginger people ( http://www.gingerpeople.com/ginger-c...r-chews-3.html ).

A spicy ginger snap would also do, but I live in the US where ginger cookies are often just slightly gingery molasses cookies.

Thanks for the link. I will have to check them out.

Do you bake? I am sure you could find a recipe online. Yum...gingersnaps.

Mmmmmm.

Find a recipe, then double or triple the powdered dried ginger, and stir in minced crystallized ginger.

Thanks that is a good idea.
I will have a look and see what I can find.
