Eating lots of tofu works for me. Tofu contains a lot of phytoestrogens, which is probably why it works.
I'm also on birth control pills for PMS, but have to be very careful about the formula. In particular, I can't tolerate triphasic formulas (with a progesterone spike at the end) at all.
I saw you comment in Rivier's journal and came over to check out a fellow Stargate fan. But this plea called to me even though it's from a while ago.
I take evening primrose oil capsules (500 mg) to combat PMS. One a day every day, then four a day when I feel the PMS starting til the end of my period. I've had much lessened symptons since I started this a couple of years ago - less bloating, fewer mood swings, lighter cramps.
