no appetite
so leading up to my period i want to constantly eat everything in sight. however now i'm on the 2nd day of my period and i'm starving because i've barely eaten but i just have no appetite. i can hardly look at food without feeling nauseous and full but my body obviously wants some food in it. what kind of things can i eat that aren't too heavy and will make me feel worse? i'm in college so i have to use meal plans twice a day and i dont eat salads so most everything else we have is chicken fingers, burgers, pizza etc. what can i do?

Try to stray from any greasy, fatty, fried foods -- those will definitely upset your stomach. I recommend fruits, veggies, pasta will work with a light sauce, cereal (with or without milk), etc. Good luck, I know how you feel my friend.

Well, without knowing more about the foods you have available, it is hard to tell you what to do. Soups are usually a good choice to keep food in your stomach when you are really not interested in anything heavy. It is also not dangerous to "fast" for a day if your stomach really doesnt want food. It is actually considered very healthful by some. Just make sure to drink a lot of fluids if you choose not to try and put food in for a day.
One thing though, if you are using birth control, (and I am not saying you are) you may want to talk to your provider and see about possibly changing your dosage unless you have always felt that way while on your period. It sounds as if your symptoms are mimicking morning sickness, and if you are on a hormone based birth control, you may be able to eliminate that nausea with a different type of pill.
