saving your cramps

So My mother always told me to drink milk when I'm on my period because it makes me feel better. I actually found out that's what gave me the worst cramps! Ever since I stopped drinking milk and eating dairy products while I'm on my period I have been cramp free! Seriously no joke! You should try it out and see if that's the source to your cramps! I am not lactose and when I am not on my period I can drink and eat whatever dairy but while on it, it gives me the worst cramps! Save a life!
