Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.
I feel the symptoms you are experiencing are related to fluctuation in your hormone levels and the impact this has on your gastrointestinal tract. Herman fluctuation can affect how your intestines process food and how your intestines move in a general sense.
this can create a symptom of bloating, constipation and increased gas. You could try taking an over-the-counter remedy to see if this helps alleviate your symptoms. The one remedy which may be helpful is called simethicone. You can obtain this over-the-counter and use it as directed. You might only need it for a couple of days during the month if this is a consistent occurrence for you.
otherwise I would recommend that you take a look at your diet to see if there are certain foods that may be triggering your symptoms. This might include food such as dairy products, milk, cheese, meat or greasy foods.
Thanks again for sending your question.
