i believe some women reduce the salt, dairy products and the carbs, i would like to hear other women's input too

I don't eat much salt and I try to watch my sodium intake on a daily basis but I've even taken dieuretics prior to and during the bloat time and I'm just destined to be a sponge.

You have bloat? Are you a tranny? or are you Perk?


Ah you know I am joking sweetie..I drink hot lemon water all day and that really helps

 

[Beauts]

Since I have terrible cramping as well, I take Pamprin - which also has a bit of a diuretic in it.
Oh ya, NO SALT!!

Also, Evening Primrose oil capsules seems to make the whole PMS thing a lot easier for me.

I blame it on the big boobs...they suck up all the water.

What I USED to do (I haven't had a period in almost a year) .....

Drink more water, reduce salt and caffeine (including soda), try to limit carbs (they cause water retention). Do extra cardio.

LOL I am NOT laughing. God there's nothing (well not many things) more annoying than that time of the month. Its like 1 day of feelign like you're stuffed into a water-filled sausage skin and so randomly moody you are scared to even open your mouth.

I think the girls covered most everything:

- watch sodium / carbs -- probably even fats or fat loading (i.e. dont eat a pile of peanut butter)
- evening primrose
- natty diuretic like dandelion root to help shed current water bloat
- Pamprin ---
- Ibuprofin

If this is somethign your friend deals w/ regularly, if she's on birth control, she might want to revisit her prescription w/ her OB/GYN for somethign that maybe matches her bodychemistry better. Otherwise, it usually passes quickly and it just sucks for a day or two. Sometimes really just no way around it. Go hide & ride it out

I think we all empathize tho -- sometimes estrogen really sucks moose cawk.

I really don't do anything 'cept wear my fat pants & deal......will sometimes take a diuretc cuz I carry a LOT of sub-Q water all the damn time anyway....

 

[Gymgurl]
