what are some natural remedies for menstrual pain/bloating?

Accepted Answer

Complicated: You are really dealing with two different conditions. The first being bloating which is often associated with other pms symptoms and the second is painful periods, or what we call dysmenorrhea. There is not enough space here to go into all of the approaches for both of these symptoms, but i address them extensively, including complementary and alternative options, in my book ask your gynecologist.

Accepted Answer

Now: I would however "defer" to your  own treating GYN for the answer to this question..a simple phone call (or email) to that Provider only takes a moment....

Hope this is helpful

Accepted Answer

Many : Many people use aloe vera. Another natural remedy is papain, which is an enzyme that helps digest proteins. Also guar gum (sterculia)  is a fiber that regulates the bodyâ€™s absorption thus aiding in digestion.
Lastly make sure you see your doctor for a complete work up and evaluation of your stomach complaints, there may be something more serious than digestion issues.
All the best.

Question 9

what is the best way to beat tummy bloating?

Accepted Answer

OK: This is constipation! a hi fiber diet, 20-25 grams of fiber per day, drink 80-`100 ounces of non caffeinated, non alcoholic fluids daily and increase your fluids if you do strenuous work or exercise. Do not use harsh laxatives.
Excess fiber in the face of inadequate fluids will cause bloating and constipation.
