I know y'all looking at the title like whaaaat? But I've been having mild cramps and feel like my period is coming on but it's not and I'm on the Depo shot. I've been feeling gassy and feeling like I have to poop but tbh it's hard to do both of them. I need some ideas on what's going on 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
How long have you had these symptoms? Avoid gassy drinks and foods such as broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. Keep a food diary to see if a food is causing this. If no better after a week, see your doctor and ask about IBS. Do you have change of bowel habit?
Try Peppermint tea or Peppermint oil capsules.....It isn't for everyone in fact it can make it worse for some people but has worked like a dream for me.
If you are feeling crampy down low in your abdomen and feel like you need to poop but can't, you are probably constipated. I would try a good laxative. I'd be willing to bet that once you can produce a decent sized bowel movement, the cramps will be relieved. I've had constipation that felt like period pains and using Miralax to have a good poop relieves it every time.
