Bloating [period]


Question Posted Monday February 11 2008, 7:27 am

I'm tired of changing clothes and getting "you look pregnant" comments. I gain so much when I'm bloated. How can I fix this? I was thinking of going on another birth control pill. Would that help?

Water does not help. I've been drinking *only* water for 2 years. so seriously, is there some secret out there?

well i usually use the midol thing and it helps a lot. also water is what causes you to bloat but it can be made worse by the amount of sodium you consume. salt tricks your body into thinking its dehydrated and forces your cells to retain water. hope this helps :)

Along with taking the Midol that has the diuretic in it, get one of those Spanx things to wear under your clothes.(You can get them at any store that sells lingerie or type Spanx into the Google search bar) it's pretty tight and kinda looks like bike shorts, but when you are wearing it under your clothes, no body will ever know that you are bloated. It works Magic for me, and makes me feel a lot better when i look in the mirror.

water is what makes you bloat. Taking something that has a diuretic(water pill...and it'll tell you on the active ingredients if it has a diuretic) or just taking a straight up diuretic will help. the blue box of midol has a diuretic in it. It'll make you pee a lot but it'll help with the bloating...but the truth is bloating on your period is something that happens to most of us. I don't think going on another pill will help you.
