I heard that diarrhea is normal before menarche, is that true??

Yes, it's true that some girls experience diarrhea before their first period or even during it. This happens because of hormones that go a bit haywire and can affect how your intestines work, you know?
It's like the body is getting ready to menstruate, and all these hormonal changes can make the digestive system more sensitive. You might also feel some cramping or bloating along with it. It's annoying, but it's usually not a big deal.
If it happens to you, try to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration and eat lighter foods. If the diarrhea is very severe, lasts a long time, or you're experiencing a lot of pain, then it's good to tell an adult so they can take a look, okay?
