[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to zag and suggest a different POV ... I think you should try not to pathologize this too much. She's going to have her period for a LONG time. It's worth telling her that there are certain aspects that she will just have to get used to. She can experiment with what foods make her feel better or worse, but it's not OK to stop eating for two days every time you have your period. I agree with keeping her meals light and nutritious. And of course, she should take whatever pain relief you deem appropriate. But I think with girls, sometimes anxiety over food snowballs very quickly. It's OK to acknowledge not feeling perfect while still encouraging her to figure out ways to work through it. [/quote]
