Ladies: PMS advice needed

[LindsayDunn228]

What do you gals do to help with PMS bloating? I have been miserable dealing with this and my jeans are very uncomfortable. What do you take/eat/drink to help this?

Good question, but I have three different sizes in my closet.

Avoid caffeine, salt, sugar, fat.... Eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies. Drink water. Sounds like fun, yea right.

The main thing to do is to avoid salt. You bloat because of water retention, and salt adds to that. Oh... and eat a lot of chocolate. It helps. Really.

Lots of water, water, water.

I drink 2 quarts of water everyday, and it really helps me to not bloat when it's that time of the month

I drink lots of water and I take Pamprin. The Pamprin does seem to help with the bloating as well as irritability....not that I'm ever irritable or anything... DH calls them my "happy pills"...

I drink lots of iced water with lemon wedges squeezed in it. Pamprin also helps.
