What Causes Food Craving During Periods?
I just barely started my period today but I have been craving sweet and very salty foods and just eating more in general for the last week. Now I have loud rumbles in my stomach but not hungry at all. Also I have very sharp pain with bowel movement during my period. Why? I am 18

I understand your concern and would explain that yours symptoms are related to the hormonal changes due to the menstrual cycle.
The pain in your bowel is caused by irritable bowel syndrome, which is a common disorder associated to the menstrual cycle.
So, there is nothing to worry about!
