5. Gastrointestinal Issues
Gastrointestinal issues is an umbrella term that refers to your entire digestion system: This can mean sudden issues with your stomach or gut that you didn’t experience before, and all of them can be attributed to the hormones and the changes that your body is going through as you undergo PMS. In most cases, the worst of gastrointestinal most people will experience is limited to some bloating – and maybe some stomach upsets from time to time.
But there can also be other symptoms that also fall under the umbrella of gastrointestinal, including inexplicable bouts of nausea. Again, this is all hormonal – though you might also find relief from taking over the counter medication to relieve the individual symptoms. Sometimes, though not always, heartburn can also become characteristic when you are going through PMS: And this can cut out foods that you used to love. Just make some small diet changes.
