What can I take or do for extreme stomach bloat?

[Anonymous]

A few days out from my period, I get extremely bloated. It’s so uncomfortable and looks horrible. I am fairly slender, so it looks pretty obvious. I already exercise hard and drink loads of water. Anything else I can do or take?

Same here. I just pick my fat clothes for those days.

Change your diet

You could be kind to yourself by not being ashamed of your body those few days.

How is your diet on those days? I don’t know of any way to fully decrease bloat, but making sure your diet is low salt, high in hydrating foods and drinks may help; it seems to help me.

Tums relieves my period bloat. Fast relief. I like the fruity store brand chewables. I take 1 about 3x for the two days that my bloat is bad.

If it’s just water retention, take Diurex

Have you had an ultrasound? I do not want to alarm you at all but I would have one just to rule out anything ovarian

She said it was only when she was premenstrual. The difference with ovarian cancer is it doesn't go away. It is CONSTANT.
