Period started yesterday & today i woke up w/ the period cramps in full force. was constipated prior to period, so it was difficult to pass a bowel movement at first, but the rest of the movement was diarrhea. can period cramps cause that issue?

Constipation can cause spurious diarrhea. You may need to address constipation. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. for fiber foods.http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
