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.
1 This bleeding is your body shedding the lining of the uterus, which was not needed because you were not pregnant. 2  The bleeding (your period) lasts on average two to seven days. 3  The second day is sometimes heaviest.  You only lose about 1/4 cup blood during your period (although it can seem like more).
