There are many symptoms that a woman experience on or before the days of her period. Those include Diarrhea, abdominal pain, and other gastrointestinal issues. People may experience diarrhea and other GI issues before and during their period. This is usually due to an increase of prostaglandins, which can cause cramps, diarrhea, and other GI issues. Severe symptoms during or before a period can sometimes indicate an underlying health condition. People should take note of their symptoms, and schedule an appointment with their doctor or gynecologist. Tips to treat from home:
- Drinking plenty of fluids
- Consuming a liquid diet
- Eating smaller meals more frequently
- Eating foods high in pectin
