Why you get the period poops š© sorry guys haha
ā If youāre experiencing period poops, itās a sign you have too many prostaglandins, which cause uterine muscle contraction (menstrual cramps), but prostaglandins can also affect your bowels.
ā Yes, period poops are common.
ā No, period poops arenāt normal. Too many prostaglandins cause loose stools and painful cramps.
ā Does this sound familiar:
ā š©ø hugging the heating pad
ā š©ø poping a lot of ibuprofen
ā š©ø doubled over in pain
ā Fun fact: prostaglandins are made from omega fatty acids, so when the main omega in your diet is omega 6, these guys are potent and worsen your pain and cramps.
ā š£ Omega 6 is found in vegetable oils (sunflower, corn, soybean), fast food, and commercially raised poultry.
ā Help your body by having more omega 3s instead by eating cold-water fish, chia seeds, flaxseeds, walnuts, and oysters.
ā Other things to consider or add to your diet:
ā Magnesiumā Getting estrogen in check
ā Lowering inflammation
ā Supplements: B6 or Menstrual eaze
