sorry couldnt helpXXX

you have to be really careful with this sort of self-medication, especially if you have a cold or are feeling run down. It would be a better idea to cut out any sugary or fizzy drinks and avoid white bread, which can create an artificial blaoted feeling at that time of the month due to the hormones reacting with wheat

thanks for your responses but the thing is i get major cravings for any dairy, and i already have quite a sweet tooth sooooo itd be really really hard!!

also, i dont think its related to the food i eat, think it is more about water retention. thank you tho!

Hi,

I have the same problem and was chatting to my friend about it. She has been taking Aquaban which is available from the chemist, she says its really good. I am going to try it myself.

I don�t know anything about the tablets, but I used to get really bloated before my period. However since I�ve been drinking 2 litres of water per day, and having a bowl of bio-live yogurt every morning I haven�t been bloated once!!
