Make sure to eat foods that are rich in protein and iron (especially iron, since you can lose a lot of that from blood loss). Have more meat (steaks, etc.) since that's full of iron..unless of course you're vegetarian. Drink lots of water, eat veggies.. and make sure to take a multivitamin. Having herbal tea also helps with cramps. I've heard that you should avoid having caffeine, and especially coffee. I'm not sure why.. I'm not sure which foods give you cramps, but I'd avoid eating greasy, heavy foods, because being on your period makes you feel crappy enough anyway. Also try to avoid oily and spicy foods, as they can irritate your stomach.
OH, and there's nothing you can do to make your period go away in 2 days...it all depends on your body. Most women get their period for 5-7 days. But if you excersize and keep active, it can help it get lighter. My previous yoga instructor told me that doing yoga frequently, and even during your period, helps alleviate cramps, and can make your period lighter.

you should drink lots of water, and just healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, sandwiches, salads

try to stay away from greasy foods, sodas, chips.. junk foods in general. they will make you feel bloated and yuckkkky

& as far as i know.. theres nothing to make your period go away in a couple of days, it just goes away when it wants to. it sucks i know hahha


hope i helped
