Can Quitting Bioidentical Hormones Cause Flatulence, Diarrhea And Acid Reflux?

Over the last year I have been experiencing extreme flatulence, explosive diarrhea, depression, loss of appetite, heart burn (this has become more frequent), arthritis (migrates around my body), loss of peripheral vision..this lasted less then 10 min. and happened only one time, no headache prior to this, my optometrist examined and he didn t find anything wrong, he did casually mention MS but cautioned me several times not to determine this to be my problem, this was about 5 months ago and it only happened that one time. 2 months ago I experienced TMJ for a period of probably a week, that went away and never returned. I am not on any medications but I do use natural products and essential oils. Presently I am using osteo-biflex for arthritis, D3, fish oil, I have used all of these for many years. I do take a multi-vitamin supplement but do not always take this everyday. I have a difficult time getting to sleep and staying asleep, and I have a ringing in my ears (several years now). I have been very, very healthy up to the time I quit using bio-identical hormones, then I began noticing symptoms. Is it possible/likely that the discontinuance of these hormones could be responsible for some/many of these issues that I am experiencing? Thankyou for your answer.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per my clinical experience, the incidence has been not consistent on regular basis, so the co-relation with discontinuation of hormone therapy does not suit with the possible cause.

Hope I have answered your query.
