Hi everyone. I am sure this question has been asked before...

I have severe bloating for 2 weeks before the start of my menstrual cycle. I've tried every known remedy and NOTHING helps.

Is it just something we have to live with? I can't believe there is nothing that can help!

Anyone have a similar experience?

Yes, I also bloat before my menstrual cycle for some reason.

It doesn't bother me too though much because I know it will go away.
I don't think there's much to do regarding helping it, unfortunately.

Lilac1,
Unfortunately, Yes..
I found that restricting salt from my diet aided. I also suppliment, B6 and eat more asparagus, or other veg. (natural diuretic) And reduce the meal size,
3 small meals. But, even after all of that I still experience the bloat. I guess accepting that it is a part of the cycle is the most difficult. Even with all that
one does to try to lessen or prevent. I sure do wish there was something available that would eliminate it.
