Can PMS Relief help with gut health and bloating?Updated 10 days ago

Many people experience bloating, constipation, or even sudden diarrhea during their period. These symptoms aren’t random. They’re tied to the powerful hormonal fluctuations that happen before and during menstruation.

What’s Actually Happening?
Before your period, progesterone levels rise. One of progesterone’s many roles is to slow down smooth muscle contractions, including in your digestive tract. This is why you might feel more constipated or sluggish in the days leading up to your cycle.

Once your period starts, prostaglandins, hormone-like chemicals involved in triggering uterine contractions, spike. These can also affect the intestines, sometimes speeding up digestion and causing looser stools or what’s often called “period poops.”

And throughout the cycle, changes in estrogen levels can influence gut bacteria and how your body digests certain foods.
