You wake up Monday feeling fine. By Friday, your jeans don't fit, your rings feel tight, and your stomach looks four months pregnant. You swear off bread. You drink more water. You try the digestive enzymes. Nothing helps.
But here's the truth: the bloating that gets worse the week before your period isn't a food problem. It's a hormone story. Estrogen rises in your luteal phase. Progesterone tries to keep up. When the balance slips, your body holds water and your digestion slows — both side effects of the same hormonal shift.
