Does breastfeeding hormones make upset stomach

Discussion

Hi. From the beginning of pregnancy I had delicat stomach and bloating and couldn’t eat like usually. I didn’t use nothing it just came and went away on it’s own pretty much all pregnancy. Ob said that it’s hormonal thing and it doesn’t go away until I give birth. And I was really good for a while (now I’m 6mo pp) and EBF and I think I definitely overate and now my stomach is really upset just like at the beginning of pregnancy ( I even took pregnancy tests but negative for now). I’m also having period like cramps maybe my period is coming ( I still didn’t have one), so this made me think that it should be related with hormones.

Any of you also had this? Thank you for reading and thanks if you respond.
