I am on my period and I have heard it was either caffeine or carbonation that worsens your cramping. Which one is it??

I thought for sure it was caffeine. Since everyone else said carbonation, I did a quick search for "caffeine, period" and it is, indeed CAFFEINE that is bad for cramping. It constricts blood vessels and increases tension, resulting in cramping.

Caffeine is bad during your period. I have never heard of the carbonation thing, but it's possible. Since everybody is different (caffeeine never bother me) It wouldn't hurt to try both and see what effect they have on you.

I don't know if there is validity to that, but if it must be one, I would think carbonation, since that adds excess gas to your system. And caffeine speeds your blood flow, so I always find it HELPS.
Good luck!
