Period ?'s: If your periods are painful and this is a regular problem, pelvic endometriosis (spreading of endometrial tissue in the abdomen) can invade the colon, which will lead to diarrhea or loose stools at the onset of menstruation. See your gyn physician and ask about low dose oral bcp's, which will reduce this and the pain as well (if there are no contradictions).
