    Bloating is a common and uncomfortable menstrual symptom, with or without PMS. In addition to menses, other bloating triggers include eating certain foods (sugar, starches, salt); drinking too much alcohol (amount differs for different women; usually just two or more drinks can do it); being sedentary; lengthy travel or prolonged sitting for any reason; and certain medicines (e.g. hormone replacement therapy, progesterone, antihistamines, aspirin, antidepressants, and antibiotics). Bloating results from water retention, which in many women is influenced by the hormonal changes of our menstrual cycle.

    Try taking charcoal pills or talk to your pharmacist about any tablets that reduce water retention, like Aquaban.
