Menstrual Cramp relief--I found it!!!!

Posted 04-05-2008 at 12:34 PM by musicbebe

I suffer from horrible menstrual cramps. I had heard that Pineapple was great for relieving pain and reducing inflamation so I decided to give it a try. At the start of my period (Friday morning) I consumed a smoothie with two, 1-inch thick rings from a fresh pineapple, some greens and a banana. My cramps are usually the WORST for the first three days or so. That first day I had no cramps!

I love bananas, figs, nuts and chocolate. Tonight was not a very good night for me. My neighbors brought over Christmas cookies the other day. I went to my health food store and bought some fruit for them (one bunch of Bananas and six apples), as well as a small bag of trail mix (from a bulk bin) and a box of organic cookies. BTW,...
