Let’s say I’m having my period. Ignore me. Let’s say you’re having your period. What can you eat, and what can you not eat? I’ll share with you my research.

What can you not eat and drink?

  1. Salty food. Salty food make you retain water and give you a puffy and bloated feeling.
  2. Dairy Food. This doesn’t apply for all women, but its better to take caution as dairy food might make women feel terrible.
  3. Cold water. Refer to what should you eat #2.

What should you eat and drink?

  1. Chocolates. According to some websites, it’s good to eat chocolates contains complex carbohydrates that helps your body expose off excess progesterone, which is the main culprit of PMS.
  2. Warm water. By drinking warm water, you make your body feel warm and thus pain will be reduced during period. Even days before you know your period is coming, you should be drinking warm water to prevent and lower the pain.

Dietary ways to reduce period pain

  1. Eating six small meals throughout the day, instead of three large ones – this can help to keep your blood sugar up and your mood elevated.
  2. Ensure you’re getting enough calcium. The symptoms of calcium deficiency include depression, irritability and anxiety – much like the symptoms of PMS. Adequate calcium intakes vary with age:
    Girls ages 9 – 18 should be getting 1300 mg/day
    Women 19 – 50 years should be getting 1000 mg/day
    Women over 50 years old should be getting 1200 mg/day (Women above 50 rarely read my blog)
  3. No alcohol please. During this period, depressing effects from alcohol can make your period symptoms more serious.

Help! My period is killing me! I’m having stomach Cramps! What can I do?

  1. Take a warm glass of water.
  2. Take a rest inside a warm blanket.
  3. Put both your warm palms on your stomach.
  4. You should feel well in awhile.

If you think anything above is wrong, please comment.

    I had mine in march 10 and since that I have it every 1O of every month .-_-

  2. Desiree says:

    For cramps take up to 600 mg calcium lactate (plant based). Avoid pain killers, aspirin and ibuprofen they are all bad for your liver. Drink lots of water.

    Also, drink the juice of one lemon with 6-8 oz of warm spring water every morning on an empty stomach. This will cleanse your liver and help you detox as well.

    You can take the calcium daily at night on an empty stomach to help you sleep well, and for tooth and gum health (receding gums and loose teeth). It also helps with wrinkles and will help you keep your youthful look for years to come. I am over 50 and I am reading your blog. :)

  3. Christina says:

    Oh god, I had the worst cramps last night. I only got a few hours a sleep, think I fell a sleep at 3.30 am or something. Worst night ever! I have never felt so much pain before and aspirin didn’t help either. Only made it worse, actually. I’v had my period for 3 years now, so it’s weird that I haven’t felt this kind of cramps before. Anyways, going to try out the tips above.

    • Angelynn says:

      having your period is just a preview of what its gunna be like when you have a baby. the PAIN is actually the pain of blood coming down, especially the little clot looking ones ( you know what I mean) but you gotta deal. I aswell have had my period since 10 so, And the pills your doc gave you sounds like birth control. I dont recommend it.

      Tips on how to have the bleeding go fast.
      Drink homemaid lemonade.
      or malt soda (Malta India or Goya Malta) those are Spanish soda’

    • sarah says:

  7. Monse says:

    I have heavy periods to da point dat I cant get out of bed nd none of da medicine I drink work anymore!! What can I do? Any advice?

    • Toxic_Halo says:

      Have you tried going to the Dr.?

    • Cally says:

      Hi Monse,

      After years of painful period pains (I still do sometimes, especially when I indulge in too much ice-cream or no exercise), these definitely helped me a lot. Hope it does the same for you too.

      Firstly, please go get a thorough check up from a qualified doctor. Menstrual cramps are symptoms of ovarian cysts / other ovarian related. Not trying to scare you but my good friend had to go for surgery twice because of growth in her ovaries.

      In the meantime, do try these alternatives to medication. (Do stop your painkillers, sounds to me like your body is becoming immune to them)

      1) Drink warm water (all the time)
      Drink plenty of warm water all the time. Abstain from cold water, ice-cream, sorbet or cold fruits for at least 3 months. After your period pains subsides, you can occasionally take them in moderation. You could also add some lemon & honey to your warm water.

      2) Take evening primrose oil daily
      Evening primrose oil is a good source of gamma-lineolic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that is often found to be lacking in women who suffers from PMS. The body converts GLA into prostaglandins, which act like hormones to regulate certain bodily functions such as inflammation and muscle contraction.
      Start by taking 1000mg & 500mg capsule on alternate days for at least 3 months. After 3 months, you can reduce to 500mg on daily basis.

      3) Ginger tea
      During your menstration, you can boil some ginger & screw pine leaves. Drink it warm with a little honey. Note : DO NOT add the honey when the tea is boiling, it rids the healing properties of the honey. Avoid ginger tea if you are on any blood thinning medication though.

      4) Exercise
      Take up walking, jogging or even yoga classes. Most menstrual cramps happen due to blood clots in stomach. Exercise helps to regulate blood circulation & produces “happy” i.e. endorphin hormones to ease the pain.

      5) Essential oil (Peppermint, lavender & rosemary)
      I found these 3 essential oils really helped with easing my cramps. Add 1 drop of peppermint, 2 drops of lavender & 1 drop of rosemary essential oil to some water in a burner at least twice a week when at home. On menstrual days, you could do with 1 drop of lavender in water just before bed time. All 3 essential oils contain antiseptic / anti inflammatory properties, helps relax muscles, clears congestion & eases breathing.

      6) Aromatherapy massage / foot reflexology
      Treat yourself to an aromatherapy massage / foot reflexoloy at least once a month or once in 2 months. This relaxes your whole body & helps detox as well.

      7) Learn some basics of body / hand / foot reflexology so you could do it at home
      This is definitely useful especially when you do it a week before your mensus. BODY REFLEXOLOGY; HEALING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS by Mildred Carter helped me A LOT.

      8) Hot water bottle
      Of course, not to forget the hot water bottle or a hot blanket always helps during menstration.

      9) Last but not least, you have to be hardworking / determined to do all of the above in order for you to start seeing some results :)

  9. yo says:

    peace

    • Toxic_Halo says:

      Honey, you can’t really stop it!
      It’s natural and your body needs to somehow get rid of the bad things! There are many myths that state some foods can “stop” it, but it is bad if you do so, retaining the bad “chemicals” inside is bad for your health! Just be glad that you have it already, because there are girls who are 18and haven’t had one!!
      I suggest you just let it flow! Just make sure to check regulary so you don’t stain your clothes or something! :)

  10. Carrie says:

    Ok I suffered with horrible period pain for years, on the sofa for 3 days straight every month, tylenol barely helped. I started doing research and discovered the following absolutely worked for me:

    1) every single day eat a bowl of real oatmeal (not instant) and an apple or brocolli or all three – fiber in your diet removes excess hormones from your system, excess hormones lead to painful periods and severe pms.

    2) I drank 3 or 4 large glasses of water a day with lemon concentrate in them mixed with either sugar, honey or maple syrup to sweeten it a bit. Lemon water will help remove toxins from your liver and really your entire body so it can function properly, your liver is responsible for filtering hormones out of your bloodstream, if it is congested, it will not filter properly and can lead to excess hormones and hormone imbalance in your system.

    3) no meat, no dairy, no eggs or fish – eat fresh veggies and fruit, whole grains, legumes – avoid processed foods. meat, dairy, eggs and highly processed foods are difficult for your body to digest (most people are lactose intolerant past the age of 2), this causes stress on your body, stress causes cortisol to rise, hormones get mixed up and too much in your system causes a host of illnesses…

    4) take a multi vitamin for women – if nothing else this will supply you with magnesium and calcium if you are lacking, magnesium will help reduce pain.

    5) reduce your stress, learn to meditate, do yoga, learn how to destress yourself, this will help calm you, ease pain etc.

    6) drink at least 6 large glasses of water a day, everyday – helps your body detox.

    I suffered with very large blood clots, excessive pain during my period, fibroids, the beginnings of endometriosis, breast cysts, wicked pms and fluctuating emotions, the beginnings of fibromyalgia and i also had a severe case of gallbladder disease – these are all related to hormones… have been following the above diet and excercise routine and have ZERO symptoms now, I am almost 40 years old and I am ovulating and have periods like when I was a teenager. Have taken 3 tylenol in the last 8 months and during my horrible periods I was taking 2 extra strength tylenol every 4 to 6 hours… this system worked for me, good luck!

  11. maher says:

    i have 10 month baby girl and i have a take injection every 2 months to avoid and not planned and ready for 2nd child so soon. iam not getting period now what shall i do.

    • yailen torres says:

      youll get it soon.just wait..i get my perod every 6-7 months.i went to the doctor and he said that its normal.aloso when you have your first or second baby your period changes. just wait a little bit and youll se that youll get your period. if its been more than maybe 7 or 8 months see your doctor.

    • Kim says:

      Well, if you are on the depo shot then you may not get one. I had that for awhile and din’t have a period. I would talk to your doctor. I had Implenon put in my arm to prevent pregnancy and i get a period 4 times a year(every three months) and still no unexpected pregnancy. Been on it since 2008. Hope this helps! :)

    • sarah says:

      First of all dudet ;) your pregnant! Congrats! Just relax……and i hope your baby/babies will b born happy and healthy! (And sometimes, you can have your period when you are pregnant!)

  12. Well if you have big cramps like me you don’t have to drnk warm water better eat soup limptom soup consider best for the warm liquid helps your blood break apart (what causes period) and the most take a hot shower or if you like but a wet warm cloth in your stomach constantly for 30 min reduces pain …also get the warming electric belly pad the sell them at stores like walmart for periods and for pregnant women’s .

  13. Abby says:

    Well This Is To Young Girls Always Tell Your Mom They Always Know What To Do Cause They Have Been Throught It ThemSelves Just Watch What You Eat Cause Every Girl Is Different From There Body Don’t Eat Chocolate Because It Causes Acne & It Gives Some Girls Bad Cramp Warm Water Is Sometimes Good & Get A Lot Of Rest Don’t Put Alot Of Force In Your Body Cause Its Dulcet & If You Are Throwing Up & Fainting You Might Be Pregnant & Or Its Something Else Witch You Should Go To The Docter For But Take Care Of Your Body Don’t Wear Tight Things Like Skinnys & Always Have Socks On Me Warm Well That’s All The Advice I Know

  14. heather says:

    well what i’d advise you do is first take ideprofine then that will slow down the blood if its heavy but when on your period stay away from salty foods drink tea it helps when i have mine and also stay away from icecream not only does it make rolls under you boobs but its makes the pain worse to relieve the cramps just remember tea then heating pad.

  15. Diamynd says:

    You should not eat chocolate; it contains a substance that causes more to cramps. As well it increases PMS-ing and cramps to increase, you should eat high in whole grains to keep sugar count up instead of chocolate due to caffeine intake.

  16. Irestly says:

    Some are true especially drink warm water. But as for me,I go on running and that makes me less pain and at the same time,I feeeeellll good!

    Hi Rachel . How are you today . first I would say don’t worry . that’s something you will get used to it . I think it’s better to tell your mother . she will help you in any circumstances. To avoid worse cramps you should drink some hot drinks like:Ginger , cinnamon or Latency. put a full tea spoon of a powder one of them in a cup . then put a Boiling water over and cover your cup about 10 minutes .
    you have to take a shower but not swimming .
    I hope I give a usefull information. thanks…

  50. jessica says:

    Also, if you have sex during your period, and if your partner is not using a condom it can give him an infection. But just ofr the kicks avoid sex during those days.

  51. jessica says:

    Another food you should avoid during your menstrual cycle is Watermelon. Watermelon makes your menstruation heavier, and no girl likes that. And avoid sour foods/drinks such as lemons and oranges. I was told that having sex during your period is bad, that it can cause some sort of cancer……?

  53. adel says:

    i disagree with tis… everytime wen i have period, it will pain lyk hell n i will be suffering from vomitting n fainting n diarrhea…. bu drinking warm watter it will never help me….

  54. justine says:

    do not eat chocolate it makes it worse trust me i found out the hard way and when you have your period wear socks and keep warm under the covers and no sex

  55. Bree*z says:

    Yes wear socks when ur on ur period* well i have a question… *I will be leaving a weekend wit my boyfriend and his parents* we all have to sleep in a big room together* (just being respectful) and im scared if i go through on the bed*** What should i do?!?*

  56. Bree*z says:

    Yes wear socks when ur on ur period* well i have a question… I will be leaving a weekend wit my boyfriend and his parents we all have to sleep in a big room together* (just being respectful) and im scared if i go through on the bed? What should i do?

  57. Amanda says:

    wow…thanks for all of the advise. i judt started up agine and feel like crap. but i ate a mcflurry that my dad got me and it made my day. i eat a lot of sweets during my period but right now i am in alot of paon so i am just laying in my bed.

  58. Lau says:

    True about the chocolate. I understand it makes cramps and bleeding worse…

  59. Shari says:

    @Helga: I would suggest you increase your fiber(more vegies) and water. Some women respond with diarrhea or constipation. In your case it’s looking like constipation. I don’t think that’s normal. How many days are you talking?

  60. Shari says:

    @Mia: I feel the same way during my periods. The dizziness you might want to get checked out just to make sure you’re not anemic. But again it comes with the territory. I would do a blood test to make sure you’re not anemic before you consider it a normal response during your period. Hope that helped.

  61. Mia says:

    umm i have been felling like im about to throw up on my periods and also my head has been hurting so much.. and i feel so dizzy. is this normal when im on my period

  62. Helga says:

    I do not poop the days I have my period. Is that normal?

  63. Danna says:

    Well I know 2 things not to eat,

    Chocolate. Makes you have more cramps.

    Salty foods. Salty food make you retain water and give you a puffy and bloated feeling.

  64. Alexa says:

    And with the hot liquids, does hot cocoa go along with that?

  65. Alexa says:

    I’m 14 and I started my periods about a year ago and my periods are NEVER regular. They are never shorter than 32 days apart. February I didn’t even get it. Is that normal?

    • Sophie says:

      Yeh mine too I’m very worried 😳

    • Niki says:

      Totally normal.I’m 12 turning 13 we had a lesson at school and we learnt it takes a good two years until u get a pattern.We just have toughen up nd deal with it.(I hate boys :P )I only get my period every 2-3 months I guess I’m lucky. I only to it last year but it sometimes lasts a whole week but thats just my stupid body!

      Good luck, hope my advice is what u needed

    @maria all periods are normal. they affect people in different ways. sometimes it can be a dark reddish colour, sometimes it can be bright red or a brownish colour or even just discharge! so dont worry yourself :)

  70. Maria says:

    Ummm .. who ever said cold drinks are good is wrong because then it will make you bloat.. and ice cream is a big no no due to the coldness right..

    in our culture we have to treat these days with a special treatment.
    First you have to eat healthy food.
    Like fish, meat, and so on.
    Avoid ice-cream, cookies , and sweets.
    Drink hot drinks
    like tea , coffee, and vegetable soup!
    Make your own herbal tea.

    Avoid eating sour fruit or drinks.
    Like orange and lemon. They stop the blood and it causes some diffeculties to you.

    During your period always wear your socks . Cold floor may hurt you.
    AVOID sex during the 7 days.
    Accurding to the resent researches: the womb in the period time unable to protect itself from any bacterial which will inter!
    You will loose your health in few minutes.
    Sex you can postpone it to another time.

    Have a best healthy body ^_^

  87. Emily says:

    Chocolate is no good due to the caffeine in it (that goes for tea or sodas) and the thing about cold water is just silly. Hot, cold, or warm, water is good for you during your period. Also, you should eat bananas – the potassium helps and it may ease minor cramping.

      Lol that what I was thinking today my mom is taking me to outback steak house and I was wondering if i could get some coconut shrimp! ^__^

  90. daiys flores says:

    hey, i also have something you can’t eat. If you eat lemonit will cut your period and that’s bad cause that means your period wont come for awhile.

      What Can You Do If You Have Your Period When Your Mom Isnt Home For 2Days And You’re Stuck Between A Brother And A Dad Who Want To Know What’s Wrong?!

      • daiys flores says:

        hey, i saw your comment well if you mom isn’t home for 2 days and your stuck with a brother or/and dad just tell a friend you trust or a relative.

  92. Anu says:

    Ive heard you shouldnt drnk cold milk
    and you shouldnt eat chocolate cuz it makes you have craps :\

  93. nadine says:

    Thanks for the good advise.. i already do put my hands on my belly&that when im on my period… it might sound a bit silly, but it actully really helps.. also hot water bottles.. but when you are school you have to rely on paracetamal or something stronger sometimes, or you should try getting some heat pads, that you just put on your underwear or top and you leave on for the day, they really help, and you can wear them without anyone knowing that you are wearing them, as you cant see a bump on your belly or anything! i think you can get them from tescos.
    im 14 and i have been having my period for over a year now, but they are not “regular” still.. is this normal? :|

  94. Chelsea says:

    What about period cramps during school, how can I relieve that without making it obvious im having my period?

    • Sierra says:

      @Chelsea: I’ve been through this stage many times. If you feel your period coming on during schoo, go to the nurse, most of the time the nurse will have tampons and pads for you too use. Also, if you were already wearing a pad or tampon, then try to bring 3-4 every day and replace in a bathroom when necessary.

    • kitty says:

      take those period pill it will help if you dont like pills then before u go to school take a warm wash cloth and put it over the pain or u can do this at school but people might know u have your period

  95. lily says:

    What can we do to ease the anxiety and depression before and during your period?
