Cornflakes and PMS...

Jonesie86

I just read somewhere that Cornflakes can help with the premenstrual "I want to eat every starchy/carby/crunchy/whatever" feeling some of us women get... just an interesting thought, I may try it and see if it works. Has anyone else heard of this before?

I have. My wife may have mentioned this once.

Aside from being carbs, how are they supposed to help?

There's nothing like a little cock a doodle doo in the morning to help get you over your period.

Do you sprinkle ground-up Midol on them?

It's just a starch source. And we probably get some frustration out by crunching down on them rather than punching people in the face, which is what I want to do a lot of whilst pms-ing...

My favorite way to eat cornflakes is with sliced banana milk and a touch of half-and-half or cream. That's way my grandfather used to eat them and it is awesome!
