Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
In my opinion, the symptoms that you are having just before your period comes can be due to a pre-menstrual syndrome. This can effectively be relieved by an OTC pain killer like ibuprofen. You can take Tablet Motrin 1 tablet 2-3 times a day with food. also, remember to keep yourself well hydrated and have small regular meals. However, the green stools cannot be attributed to this and can be due to a variety of reasons like laxative abuse, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, malabsorption and bacterial overgrowth. Please see your primary physician for this. If its required, the workup can include a consult with a gastroenterologist.
Hope this helps
Regards

Hi Caren...
Thank u for choosing HCM...
Diarrhea with green stools is due to infection of your gut...
Take Tab.Ciplox-TZ twice a day for 5 days
Vibact capsules can be taken for 5 days to improve your symbiotic bacterial colonisation...
Feeling weak and tired during periods is quiet normal...
Kindly visit an OBGYN if there is excessive bleeding...
Thank u..
