"Women bloat when they have periods because their bodies begin to retain more water, causing the body to swell and creating a bloating sensation. The swelling causes the skin to stretch, making parts of the body sensitive to pressure."

To reduce bloating, cut salt out of your diet. Midol also helps, too.
"Water tablets are diuretics and they increase the amount of salt and water passed in the urine, so as Liz says 'you have to go to the loo a lot.' There are several types of diuretic, some of which lead to loss of potassium so doctors often prescribe a potassium supplement with them.
An alternative to water tablets for fluid retention with PMS is to try vitamin and mineral supplements, especially vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine) and vitamin E, gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), and calcium and magnesium. These can be effective in lessening breast tenderness and bloating. "

Most women suffer PMS, it's just your hormones being out of whack, and unforetunately bloating is a symptom. Cut salt out of your diet. Salt makes you retain water normally, especially when your on your period.

Women become bloated because we retain water before and on our period. You can usualy just take some midol or ib profin and it will go away. For foods i have never eaten anything to make it go away but i understand what you mean when you look pregnant from it.
