I have always suspected my period pain in the past was due to me eating all sorts of additives and high natural food chemicals. Since eating failsafe with my boys I NEVER get period pain anymore, however still very heavy periods. We need to keep in mind I had three children, which in itself can help, but the pain did return after my third (not as bad as previously) and then completely went away when I went failsafe (haven’t had pain for about six years now – no PMT either!!!). -  by email
