I have always had pretty painful periods. I will say my first after starting my whole100 was pain free - I didn't even know I was getting it. since then I have had cramping during ovulation and bloating some cramping for those two weeks until my period. my last period was SUPER long and heavy - I'm normally a 3 day girl, I think it was 6 or 7. I should be getting my period any day and had to go look to see the date because I haven't had any of the bloating I'd had the past 3 or 4 months...so things are probably getting better for me. I've heard it takes about 4 or 5 cycles to notice great changes

thanks so much for this post! I am on my first whole30 ever (or whole100 if I have my way) and have started to stress out a little bit today. I was actually upset with myself for having 3 pieces of fruit and cashew butter on two different occasions. did I stick to the rules? yes. could my food choices have been better? yes. did I drink diet coke and have cookies for breakfast like I did a week ago? nope. so that is success. I don't want to get discouraged and worry about how I can cook my veggies/meat/whatever.
