Can I drink milk during my period?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Having a lot of dairy products is not the best idea, as it can cause cramping. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream contain arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), which can increase inflammation and can intensify your period pain.

Milk Consumption During Periods
It's perfectly fine to drink milk during your period. Milk can be beneficial because:a. Calcium and Vitamin D: These nutrients support bone health and may ease menstrual cramps.
b. Protein and Hydration: Milk helps maintain energy levels.

Considerations
If dairy worsens digestive discomfort or bloating, adjust your intake. Otherwise, milk is safe and comforting as part of a balanced diet. -
Alternatives
If lactose intolerant or concerned about dairy, consider lactose-free milk or plant-based options.

View allI've been on Novelon for the last four years, and before I started taking it, I rarely had period cramps. But now, after starting it, I began to experience them, and for the last 23 months, the pain's been so bad that I've had to take painkillers. Is this due to Novelon, or are these just normal period cramps?
