I got those darn cramps again and that's stinkish since I have a performance tomorrow. But I know or at least I think there are some foods you're not supposed to eat or actions you are not supposed to do when the awful thing arrives. I just realized gum is bad after smacking down a whole pack of hubba bubba during rehearsal today. The pain! And so is flipping and doing splits. Not one of my bright ideas. But is there anything else? I don't know if milk or dairy products are ok. Greasy foods are probably out of the question. No chocolate? I'm not sure just wondering so I don't find out by experience. I'm thinking of not performing tomorrow but I don't want to let anyone down. Also, is it bad if their's a heavy flow? Kinda nasty, ew I know. But my doctortold me since I have anemia and I'm not that huge, alot of blood loss would be a critical problem. But I can't tell what's alot and what's not.

Miss Rose again

you cant eat certain things when your on your period? Why?
-
I don't know it seems to affect me in ways. My mom said not to eat fast food like Mickey D's or BK because of the grease. The last time I had a huge glass of chocolate milk while on the period and I thought that was my last day on earth. The milk wasn't spoiled either.
-
i didnt know foods affected the sort of thing. shrug
-
You don't lose that much blood on your period. Sometimes it seems like a lot, but it's not in reality. Exercise is one the best things for cramps.
-
oh I gotcha, thanks.
-
I find that a hot waterbottle works well too.
-
I tried putting something warm but I'm too fidgety when I try to relax. Does tea help though? I try not to drink much so I don't have to "go" which is really... really dumb. Typical.
