There are more than 150 symptoms related, and the most common are abdominal bloating and camps, stress, anxiety, headache, acne and mood swings.
And there are lots of kinds of PMS too, like the anxious, the stressed, the candies compulsive and the fat one.
Some food can help decreasing or rising the PMS. You should avoid: sugar, fat, alcohol and salt.
