Lots of women have flare-ups during/before their period. It's a hormonal thing. Yay. With that said, if you are experiencing pain, I would highly recommend tons of good hot strong peppermint tea. It has a pain reliever in it, and can work extremely well for me. When you feel your worst, there's nothing wrong with retreating back to the "what to eat when you can't eat anything" chart on this website. Be kind to your tummy for a day or two and stick to comforting, soluble fibre foods. Just don't let it go for more than a day or so. Start slowly adding back fruits and veggies and protein - the safest way possible. Cook, peel, mash and puree.
