A member asked:

I know your period can cause bloating, but can it cause indigestion/heartburn as well? and can you be more likely to experience heartburn on your period?

Heartburn, or GERD, can worsen due to many variables, including fluid retention, which can happen with your menstrual period. You should also pay attention to your diet as foods can increase your symptoms and avoiding foods that increase your symptoms can be helpful. If your symptoms are worsening, see your doctor for evaluation and treatment-a GI doctor may be helpful to get symptoms controlled!
