Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Occasional bloating and cramping during periods is not uncommon. Sometimes there is a minor hormonal imbalance leading to lighter period and then usual bleeding begins after a few days. It would help to know your age to correlate things clinically. Also if you are having loose stools then it may be a concomitant gastrointestinal infection.

However if this is the first time that this has happened, I suggest you should not worry. Take a simple pain killer like acetaminophene or aspirin, some liquid food like clear soup and wait.
Daily light exercises help to restore hormonal imbalances and correct menstrual abnormalities. If the symptoms recur then you will need a gynec examination, maybe blood hormone test and sonography.

I hope this will help you. Thanks for using HCM and take care.
