A member asked:
Think i may have infection in my intestines considering the way i feel when on my period(painful gas that finds it hard to find its way out)?

If it's truly an: Infection, it would be uncommon for the symptoms to match up with your menstrual cycle. Usually infections of the GI tract, create pretty constant symptoms. The symptoms you describe are commonly reported prior and during women's menses, though it would be a bit odd if they just started occurring in you at this point in your life.
