I'm guessing, what does it mean?

Okay, so when you say "gassing" you probably mean you're feeling gassy, like you have more gas or air in your belly than usual. It's totally normal and everyone gets it, like, all the time!

When your body digests food, it creates gas, and that gas has to go somewhere. Sometimes it comes out as burps, and sometimes as farts! During your period, or even in the days before it starts, your hormones can change how your digestive system usually works, so you might feel extra gassy or bloated. It's super common and just a part of your cycle.

What you can do about it

Sometimes gas can be a little uncomfortable, but usually, it's just annoying. Here are a few things that might help:

• Eat slower: When you eat really fast, you can swallow a lot of air. Taking your time can help.
• Avoid fizzy drinks: Sodas and sparkling water have a lot of bubbles, which are literally gas! Cutting back might make a difference.
• Go for a walk: Moving your body can help get things moving in your digestive system, which can release trapped gas.
• Talk to a grown-up: If you're feeling really uncomfortable or the gas is super painful, just mention it to your parent or guardian. They might have some tips or think it's worth checking out, but usually, it's nothing to worry about.
