Estrogen and bloat

[markluv]

Has anyone experienced severe bloating due to estrogen?

I'm suffering from severe stomach bloat and the bloating seems to be caused by gas. I've done a lot of reading about estrogen and stomach gas and the fluctuation of the hormones causes the body to produce more stomach gas causing a lot of bloat.

I've balanced out my estrogen by taking .25mg EOD of armidex. My morning woods are back which is a great sign. My question is how long till this bloat should go away?

Well first thing would never self diagnose with out blood work... Get your bloods done and post them here or if you have them already post em

Haven't had blood work done since I've leveled out. The above blood work was done two weeks and half weeks ago. I'm not due for blood for another 3 months. I'm on HRT.

150mg cyp every week.

your estro is pretty high. You need to talk to your trt doc about an AI. If he refuses, you can track them down yourself. Places like ag-guys.com

your HRT dose is too high.. drop it down and that will help with the estrogen retention. you don't need or want to be over 1000 T levels..

the whole reason for HRT as you know obviously is to replace what a normal male should produce.. testosterone does aromatize as males but at a much lower amount than what you are doing here. you want to try and copy what you would get if you had a healthy HPTA. too much and you end up with too much estrogen.

rather than running AI's to counter this it makes much more sense to get your dose to where it should be. once you get that done THEN you can worry about possibly running a light AI. if i ever go HRT i plan on trying to avoid taking any unnecsesary drugs with it

as for the gas could be unrelated to this but thats why its smart to run bloods ..

This makes sense. What should I shoot for an ideal range for my test?

I think 1000 total t is good for HRT, but many would shoot for lower. Estradiol I would like to keep in the 25-35 range myself. High estrogen can cause bloat but other things like peptides, creatine, and diet can do it to me just as much.

Get yourself a good AI like Aromasin or Arimidex, check out ag-guys.

Meanwhile, take probiotics, digestive enzymes (a little), natural fiber (psyllium husk) and lots of water. I know the fiber/water might make you feel a bit bloated at first but it will actually help in the long-run.
