How to Relieve Bloating During a Period

Video Transcript

"If you're having your period and you find bloating to be a little too uncomfortable, there are ways that you can help reduce bloating during a period. I'm Dan Carlson, I'm a nurse. Certain things you're going to want to do is avoid salts and high sodium products as salt helps retain fluids and it won't let you get away from them as quickly. Another thing to do is take vitamin A and vitamin B6 which will help your body process that liquid and help get away of that bloating feeling. Also exercise helps but remember to drink fluids when you're exercising to help sweat out that excess fluid. There are certain medications for periods that you can take that may help with your bloating and certain things like that. But exercise, vitamins A and B6 and staying away from salt and high sodium are the most important factors. Also if you find bloating is just not relieved with any of these, definitely consult a physician and see if maybe there's other alternatives that you can take to help you with bloating. I'm Dan Carlson, that's how to help reduce bloating during a period."
