Problems with black cohosh?

I have been having what seems to be worsening of PMS/ perimenopausal symptoms. I started to take evening primrose oil and black cohosh. Now I'm experiencing gas, bloating, indigestion, cramping, etc. I wouldn't call it a full attack, but it is distressing.

I wasn't sure which supplement was causing the problem, but looking at my symptom diary, I took the EPO for a few days with no symptoms before starting the black cohosh. While it's possible there was a delayed effect from the EPO, it really looks like the black cohosh is the culprit (or perhaps a combination of the 2?)

I'm definitely going to stop the black cohosh to see what happens. I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced this.
