What About Grains? There are many naturally gluten-free grains that you can enjoy in a variety of creative ways. Many of these grains can be found in your local grocery store, but some of the lesser-known grains may only be found in specialty or health food stores.
During a period, there are usually 2-3 days of relatively heavy bleeding followed by 2-4 days of lighter flow. The fluid during a menstrual period is a mixture of uterine lining tissue and blood. The total mo nthly menstrual loss varies from about 4 to 12 teaspoons.
A typical menstrual cycle is between 24 and 35 days long with 4 to 7 days of bleeding. Average blood loss is about 3.5 tablespoons (3 to 4 pads or tampons a day). You may have light bleeding (spotting) for 1 to 2 days around the middle of your cycle, between periods.
