Questions for girls ages 15 and up..?

Q: Two days before I start my period I get these huge cravings. I normally crave for chocolate. I have ulcers in my stomach and have to take Nexium. I am suppose to not drink Coke products or eat chocolate because they make my tummy hurt. Well when I am on my period– if I eat chocolate or constantly eat junk food– I don’t have cramps bad at all. In fact, my last period I didn’t have any cramps at all. I constantly was eating chocolate. Here it is day 2 before my period starts and I have been eating a salad then strawberry cake to salad back to strawberry cake. it is weird! My cravings are all jacked up.Am I the only one or does anyone else feel this way on their time of the month?

A: I’m 13 and I expirience odd food cravings too. Hope you don’t mind about the age thing, I’ve had my period for about two years now and every freaking time I get the oddest food cravings. So it’s not just you. I just get hungry before my period and picky for odd things while on it. I think everyone goes through the same thing, it’s the same with my mom and friends. =P Don’t eat things you’re not supposed to!
