Hi! so everytime I get my period and I eat carbs, my cramps get worse. Like today, it was bagel friday at the office. I had one bagel w/ no insides and now my cramps are terrible when I had none before.
What gives? Someone told me it's a possible gulten problem? Does anyone else have this and what can I do?
I know, I know just don't eat the carbs. Just wondering why.
Thanks <33

    did you have cream cheese on that bagel? because dairy is NOTORIOUS for making cramps unbearable.

    Hi!

    Be cautious about people who want to jump on the Gluten bandwagon. It's just become popular lately and some are thinking it's a "diet" when it's really more about people with Celiac disease.

    I would say besides cramps, you'd have a myriad of other reactions all month if you had a gluten allergy. Here's a link to the list of symptoms:

    Not to be gross, but on my period if I eat ANYTHING fried, I have serious bathroom issues and stomach cramps. And before I had kids, it was lettuce. A single piece of lettuce would ruin me! Maybe we're just more sensitive at "that time of the month" ?

    Best wishes finding out what's going on! :)

    Thanks for the great info! It does make sense like you said i'd have those issues all month long instead of just a few days. Maybe it is just the nature of the beast?
