Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) cure for the prostaglandin horror..       #301209 - 03/01/07 09:03 PM Edit Reply Quote MySumoBaby Reged: 10/22/06 Posts: 8 Loc: California Hello, I used to have the worse IBS symptoms right before I started my period and I'm even on birth control. I would have to plan to reveive my period on a day that I knew I wouldn't be at school or work. So, I asked my Dr., who said it was due to prostaglandins. She said in order to prevent the horrid cramping and diarrhea to take 600 mg of an anti-inflammatory (aleve or advil) every 6-8 hours three days prior to getting your period. Any anti-inflammatory inhibits the uterus from releasing an excessive amount of prostaglandin. It works wonderfully for me so far. However, I'm not sensitive to the NSAIDS like some are. Good luck! ~Erica Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: cure for the prostaglandin horror..       #302075 - 03/12/07 11:18 AM Edit Reply Quote tomoko Reged: 04/20/04 Posts: 39 Hi Erica, Thank you for your post. You said "take 600 mg of an anti-inflammatory (aleve or advil) every 6-8 hours..." So are you taking 3 pills every 6-8 hours until your period starts? Thanks, tomoko Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all)
