Ok, ive asked this question a few times before but still havent really got what im looking for. I get diareeah EVERY time i get my period, starting from one day before hand and all the way through, then im backed up for a few days from taking so much immodium and for the next few weeks im fine then my period comes again and its back. Does ANYONE know what this could be? Sorry about all the annoying questions about it but its really getting to me.

The same hormone that stimulates the shedding of the uterus can also stimualte your bowels at the same time. This is especially true the first couple days leading up to and of your period. I can relate to you, I take tons of pepto, immodiam etc. The things we women deal with!

It's just one of those things that happen. I get diarrhea for the 1st day or two then I'm ok again.
Not uncommon apparently.

I used to always have that for years. It is the way the hormones hit your bowels. It sucks!

This could be related to endometriosis but the only way to know for sure is to have this evaluated by your doctor to see what they think is going on.
