How much water do you drink? I used to find myself more suseptable to dehydration around my period. I am in Malaysia at the moment eating loads of durian & surrounded by more pollution then im used to so my water intake averages 4litres a day. Usually I average about 3litres a day in Australia or more depending on my activity levels, the atmosphere, what im eating etc.

Some of the cooked foods you are still eating will be dehydrating you, how much water do you get when you put a peice of bread through a juicer?
Not much and to digest concentrated cooked foods properly the water must come from somewhere ....it will be drawn from your bodies reserves....do you find you make better or worse food choices around your period? That might answer your question.
Every function in the body depends on your hydration levels, drink up and before long you will be visiting the loo .

I've been getting about a liter a day, but I think that's not nearly enough. So that's one of the things I'm looking at. 4-5 Liters seems to be more of what I need in general and especially during my period.

Hey Daphne,

From what it sounds like, water is a great idea. How about the bananas you are eating? I saw that your favorite smoothie is orange, banana and spinach (yum =D). If the bananas aren't really ripe yet (little brown spots on them), they can cause things to slow down - ya know what I mean?

Also, if you increase your fiber intake around that time, it may help as well. Do you have a dehydrator? I have a great flax cracker demo up on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/primmitiv. Flax is great for increasing your intestinal motivation =D (as long as you're drinking enough water)...

Something else that made a HUGE impact for me around that ''time of the month'' was once I started colon hydrotherapy. I just had auntie flo come to visit (this is the first month since I got my first 6 colonic treatments last month), and we had no problems this month. Barely even any cramps, and the small amount that I did get were just on the first day. There are so many other benefits to it than that, too. I'll spare you, though. If you would like to know more about CH, I would be happy to share, though =D

Hope this helps, have a great night,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
Yea my first point of "attack" is to greatly increase my water intake. And increasing my fiber is the next step I didn't know that unripe bananas could slow the system down. Thanks for that info.

I've been getting colon hydrotherapy for a couple of years now although not as much due to dinero. But i'm curious to hear about your experiences and the benefits you've felt using it. Feel free to send me a private message.

Thanks for the advice. Be well!
D
