Drew Barrymore is shedding light on her struggle with menopause symptoms.
During a recent episode of ‘The Drew Barrymore Show,’ the 51-year-old actress and host shared that she has been struggling with inflammation and hormonal changes as her menopause symptoms began to appear.
“I can’t even start today without being honest because I can’t fake anything,” she said on the show. “My stomach is so bloated I feel like a carp that’s been washed up on the beach and I’m just this dead fish.”
When Barrymore’s co-host Ross Matthews asked why she was bloated, the actress revealed that she had her period after an 11-month break.
Barrymore said, “I was about to hit a year of my periods and go straight into menopause where I live… I got it.” “I got it. I’m 11 months in. So I’m going back to zero.”
Barrymore continued, “And uh, I feel unattractive and I’m so hormonal and nothing makes sense and I’m irritable and my stomach is bloated and I’m emotionally unstable. How about you?”
“Anyway,” Barrymore joked. “I feel a lot better because now at least you know where I am. And I always feel better after being here.”
