I used to not feel like eating, and only nibbled toast and sipped tea. WRONG! I was weakened, and the diahorrea and cramps continued wicked & unhindered. Now at the first sign of cramps I pop 2 Advils, which if taken soon enough, really help. However, the main thing I do is EAT. I know it sounds a bit gross, but if you drink a couple of glasses of water and eat a bulky cereal like granola or any grainy, substantial bran based cereal with milk (I always keep a couple of boxes of Kaashi Cereal on hand just for my periods), you will have good bowel movements- and believe me- afterwards when you rest, you will FEEL the relief. It also helps to lay down on your left side, since this aids in digestion. I do this cereal eating regime all during my periods- that is, increase my cereal and general food intake. Then, when the period's over, I go back to my smaller meals. I can't believe how stupidly I treated my nasty periods when I was in my early 20's. Now I KNOW what to do to help myself, and the improvement is at least 70-80%. It does tend to get better as you get older and put a little more weight on, but the tips I mentioned would work for any age and size, barring some unusual physical abnormalities which might be causing the cramps- and this was ruled out early in my situation- so it was the more typical prostaglandin overproduction which causes bloating, mind boggling cramps, lower backache, diahorrea, etc. etc. I had insanely painful cramps, espc. when I weighed less- around 100 lbs.
