Can I eat leeks when I’m on my period?

You can eat leeks in moderation when you are menstruating, but you should not overdo it, or it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
Leeks are rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, etc., as well as vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, etc., so eating leeks in moderation during menstruation helps to replenish energy, but also promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis and maintains a smooth bowel movement.
However, if the consumption of leeks in excess, may lead to abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and other digestive system symptoms, it is recommended that patients eat in moderation.
After consuming leeks during menstruation, if you have any of the above symptoms, it is recommended that you visit a hospital in time to complete the relevant examinations, to clarify the cause of the disease, and to carry out targeted treatment and therapy under the guidance of the doctor.
