Endo diet

Yes, yes, yes!!! I know that you've heard it a million times that you should eat right because you have endo but a lot of women don't know exactly WHAT to eat. I have tried it and personally I feel like it has helped me tremendously!!!! No, it didn't work the first month, but I saw a difference as far as bloating, pain, and depression. Here's what to do:
These are the foods to abstain from:
-Caffeine
-Processed sugars
-Wheat
-Red Meat
-Gluten
-Soy
-chocolate
-processed dairy
-eggs
-fried foods
-saturated fats
-additives and preservatives
-alcohol
The reasons that you should abstain from these foods is because most of them when digested, act as pseudo (false) estrogens in your body and as most of you may no, that's a big negative when it comes to endometriosis. The scar tissue thrives and grows from estrogen that we have in our bodies. Think of it like this, the endometrium that is supposed to be lining our uteruses thickens and grows due to increasing estrogen levels in our bodies, and then sheds when the estrogen levels fall during menstruation. That same endometrium that is lining the outside of your colon or even your small intestine for example grows and sheds the exact same way! So it's our job to slow down the growth of endometrium by abstaining from these estrogen rich foods.
If you can, organic fruits and vegetables are the way to go. You can actually replace most of the bad foods with foods you'll love. I know for me, I am obsessed with almond milk and almond cheese it tastes just like the real thing. Anyone else try the endo diet and would like to share their experiences please let me know. :) Also, speak with a professional to see if the endo diet is something that would work for you.
