How do I get rid of bloating from my period?


Question:


Answers:
Salt in the diet will cause fluid retention and thus contribute to weight gain, breast tenderness, swelling, and a generally bloated feeling.

In addition to dietary changes, taking specific supplements can help. It seems that every day there's increasing evidence that certain vitamins and minerals help to alleviate PMS symptoms. It really isn't news that many women are deficient in so many vitamins and minerals.

Treatment -
DIET:
Follow a low-fat diet. Eliminate sweets.
Eat regular meals at regular times.
Eat protein at lunch and dinner (fish, chicken, tuna, turkey). Limit alcohol. Limit salt.
Limit dairy products,
Limit caffeine to no more than one caffeinated drink per day.

Increase complex carbohydrates including green leafy, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and cereals to increase fiber.
Increase intake of olive or safflower oil

Calcium: 1,200 mg/day (best taken at bedtime). Magnesium: 400 mg/ daily, are very helpful for bloating.
I know it sounds as if it would make it worse, but drinking loads of water stops the body from retaining water. Also stay away from salt as that makes the body reatain water too. Hope this helps xo
