While there are some remedies that can help, ranging from over-the-counter analgesics to medications to exercise to certain supplements and alternatives, you do need to find out the source of your pain.  While every woman experiences some cramping during her period, pain that debilitates you or otherwise disrupts your life should be investigated and treated accordingly.  You may have Endometriosis, which can be a potentially devastating illness.  Learn more at http://www.endocenter.org.

I remember your questions and I know you're still going through hell. You really need to take a natural tranquilliser, something called Valerian Root Extract. You feel like throwing up because you are literally "sick to the stomach" about the abrupt end of the relationship, even if it was by choice. \n\nWhat you are feeling is natural. It's called anxiety, and you are obviously experiencing anxiety attacks (which is where the nausea and throwing up come from. I know you feel like throwing up, and as a woman, I know you probably have - dozens of times.) It's wierd, isn't it? -As if there is a small, tiny solace in punishing the body as well, and you desperately need ANY kind of solace. \n\nRight now you have to study because passing is something that is going to give you a sense of fulfilment, and it WILL help to ease the emotional pain a teeny bit. \n\nOnce you are on the natural stuff ,(NOT ST.JOHN'S WORT _ there are too many side-effects for some people and you do not need those right now...), get yourself an ant-acid medication- like GAVISCON - pregnant women take it a lot. It lines the stomach to prevent gastric reflux, which ALWAYS happens when you are under this kind of stress, and makes you feel ill. It can also push up and cause all sorts of flu-like symtoms or asthma-like burning which are so unpleasant. \n\nI don't think you need anything strong, like propper tranquilliers, because you still need to work through this process of grieving, but you do need a little help right now to get you over the exams. Biral is a good make, and you will find that one little pill three times a day is all you need to just help you focus.\n\nI wish you all the best. This is a difficult time and exams are not what you need right now. Still, they are there, and you WILL push through! I know it!! You GO girl!

This might seem too basic, but drink LOTS of water.\n\nLaxatives and prune juice may bloat you with unnecessary gas, making the problem worse before it gets better. \n\nDrinking lots of water will expedite the absorption through your intestines and VIOLA!\n\nAlmost forgot, you can also try a suppository, but beware if you have stool that is TOO hard it will be painful...get the vaseline.\n\nSOOOOO very sorry, been there- get better!\n\nSincerely,\n\nLady IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)  lol

First, stop worrying. Remember that your guts or intestine is like "other emotional organ". If you are worried or stressed it would only make worse the situation.\n2. Check out what you eat, always pay attention to your personal tolerance, everyday can be different.\n3. Some vegetables may worse the bloating: cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, celery. Beans cause bloating. Some fruitsmay cause problems: watermelon, cantaloupe (because they are high in fructose.)\n4. Your food must be cooked with little or nothing of fat, and prefer vegetable oils such olive or canole.\n5. Avoid spicy foods.\n6. Avoid sodas, because of the gas. Also avoid drinking with straws you would swallow air.\n7. Avoid sweeteners high in fructose.\n8. Also some fruits high in insoluble fiber may cause bloating, check out for apple, pear. \n9. You can have a health diet. Just avoid those foods when you already feel bad.

Hormones! most symptoms should clear upi by the end of the first tri-mester. Keep some soda crackers(saltines) next to your bedside. before you even get up to stand, have a few crackers. When you do make it out of bed and you still feel a bit queasy, drink something really cold. If all else fails..give in and have a good heave. remember to stay properlly hydrated and eat a balanced meal. exercise lightly. Best wishes and congrats?

Try exercise.  Even just walking will help.  Also eat a low fiber diet and drink non carbonated beverages until you are feeling better.*

I suffer on and off from them too.  I find suppositories work well, as does washing with soap and water every time you go to the toilet.

You should start taking pain reliever before the pain gets too severe, preferably as soon as your period starts. Do not exceed the recommended dosage though. Tylenol, Advil, and Aleve all work if taken before the pain starts. Ginger tea from Yogi teas works great for alleviating stomach discomfort. Keep hydrated with water so you don't pass out. I used to have those same symptom with my period.

drink a lot of fluids. Avoid things like pudding and coffee. Caffiene makes you urinate more and you need a lot of fluids when you're on your period because of the loss of water with blood. Take Buscopan plus if you could get the pills. If you can't find plus just take Buscopan and panadol with it. Very good with cramps. Choose to drink warm fluids rather than cold.

I will tell you my own experience...\n\nDo you eat sugar free stuff? I know when I'm on my period I eat alot more stuff than usual and in an attempt to keep from gaining weight I started chewing sugar free gum (during my period and when I quit smoking both) and I noticed horrible rank farts after that. Come to find out it was the stuff in the sugar free gum so check it out...That may be your problem.\n\nAlso the foods you eat on your period could be changing your digestion causing powerful gas and a bad smell. Is ther anything you eat while on your period that you don't eat any other time? (or very rarely while not on your period?) Start eliminating foods to see if you get any positive results or call your doctor if the gas is associated with extreme pain.

It can be really bad and painful. I have some where I look pregnant. Try eating foods that are not known to cause gas or at least take a gas fighting pill. This will keep it from becoming worse when you eat. I'm not sure if this works for everyone but I sometimes take a couple of stool softening pills, too. It's just enough to keep me regular during my period and fights the bloat. Also try some Alieve or Advil. Both will reduce swelling. I prefer the PM Midol for multi symptom relief. It is exactly the same as the normal Midol but without the caffeine. I don't need any extra caffeine because around that time of the month it's chocolate chocolate chocolate for me!

Well, I'm a nurse and would love to know if anyone out there has found a way. I've had my period since my 8th birthday. Yep my 8th birthday. It sucked. The only thing that I have came up with is the last day of my period I always feel gross so I'll fill up the bathtub with water and lay down. Then start sucking the water in me and pushing it out til the water comes out clean. Then get up and take a shower. YES MEN WE CAN DO THAT! Interesting isn't it? lol \nAnyway If I do that it cleans me out and I don't spot no more. It doesn't work on the 2nd to last day it has to be the last day for me. I always have a 5 day period.\nWhy not just douche? Because those have chemicals in them that I don't want in me. They are also not as effective.

Take anti-inflammatory tablets like ibuprofen regularly. Stronger painkillers like codeine are pretty good as well. If you have really bad period pains, see your doctor, who can put you on mefenamic acid which is very effective in reducing both pain and bleeding. You could also consider going on the contraceptive pill, which tends to make periods lighter and less painful. \n\nOther, less chemical suggestions, would be to try to do some gentle exercise - I know it's the last thing you feel like doing, but it really does help. Heat pads, hot water bottles etc can be helpful as well, as can a hot bath. \n\nOne last suggestion........I've heard ;) that masturbating can really help with period pains!

I'm always fatigued before my periods. Try Midol or Pamprin usually works for me!
