re: 16 yr old SWCAH daughter - menstrual cycle question Feb. 1st, 2008 12:27pm
I have no cah advice, my dd is only 3yo so I'm still learning from you all... but I've read a lot about diet being related to heavy periods, mainly because of dairy & meat products and the hormones in both. I don't have time right now to find any specific articles, but do a google search for something like 'dairy heavy periods' and you should find lots of articles. The sites that I trust most are... www.drmcdougall.com www.drfuhrman.com
both suggest mostly a plant based diet, no dairy, and little to no meats...basically strict vegetarian, but you can pick and choose the things that you think would help your daughter the most. I've been eating a vegetarian diet for the last 8 years and I haven't suffered painful or heavy periods since that time. hth...I'll post other links when I have more time! best of luck
