Milk Products for PMS
Melinda (Tucson, Arizona) on 01/24/2009:
Yea-I started taking calcium pills for PMS some time ago, I usually start taking them a week before my period, they cut back on the overall PMS symptoms, as well as the pain from cramps, irritability, etc. when I do actually start. I notice I will sometimes "crave" cheese products and milk during this time as well, and I think it's just my bodies way of trying to get me to take in more calcium. This is the only time of the month I take it so as not to overdue it. The calcium in extra strength tums works like calcium pills too. View Entire Thread

My daughter had suffered from horrible pms.When she was younger I watched her moods after foods that she consumed.When she had pms and consumed a milk product her mood went from irritable or angry to happy.So when you are suffering from pms try consuming a milk product like cheese, milk or ice cream and see if that helps your pms. It worked for my daughter and still does.

Janis you are so right about this. A lack of Calcium in the body can be responsible for over 150 diseases. So many people think it is just for healthy bones and teeth but it is needed for so much more. eg. muscles need it to release their contractions. I know so many women that take calcium supplements or the husbands automatically run for milk products when the cycle approaches! View Entire Thread
