Do you happen to have any fast ideas for meals following this? I already don't eat meat (other than tuna & shrimp). My problem is I wake up at 4am every morning and don't get home till around 6pm ever night. Im constantly on the road and I have a really hard time not stopping in for breakfast every morning at dunkin, mcdonalds, or burger king ;( I also seem to have the worst cravings for cheese and chocolate constantly ever since I can remember. ANY tips? Maybe a sample meal plan or ideas?

I've tried something very similar, to check what my trigger foods are for both endo and arthritis.

For me the "stay away foods" are...

gluten and most grains
corn (and all derivatives of)
MSG
soy (especially non-fermented)
food dyes
table salt (I use only French gray & Himalayan pink sea salts now)
non-organic beef (I can eat organic, grass fed, hormone free, antibiotic free & steroid free beef, bison and wild game meats)
unnatural preservatives
artificial sweeteners (I do ok with stevia, just not too keen on aftertaste)
artificial flavorings
beet sugar (most white sugar is this unless labels "pure cane")
anything with phytoestrogens or phytoestrogen producing (including herbs like red clover)
city water
non-organic milk
soft cheeses like cream cheese, cheese spreads, quick melt cheese (velveta & the like) and brie
ice cream
highly processed foods
junk foods
fast foods
soda
milk chocolate or having chocolate & milk together (I do have dark chocolate on occasion though)

Reducing these helps me a lot...

sugar (using more honey, pure maple & fruit when wanting sugar)
carbohydrates (other than from veggies & fruits)
alcohol (limit myself to one on occasion)
potatoes (only have purple, sweet or red on occasion)

Adding and increasing these help me...

Organic extra virgin coconut oil (I cook in this, put it in smoothies and even use it on my skin and use as hair treatment)
Organic coconut mana
Almond and coconut milk
Avocados
Hemp seeds
Chia seeds
Lots of fish and seafood (I eat fish/seafood usually daily at one meal/snack)
Leafy greens, especially kale
Berries, cherries and grapes
EVOO - I only use this at room temp/cold and no longer cook in it

I just recently started the Endo diet as well and it looks pretty similar for me as it does for you. Here is what the endo diet looks like for me:
No gluten/wheat
No dairy
No soy
No red meat
Reduced poultry
Greatly reduced alcohol
Greatly reduced refined sugar

I add flax seeds to everything, like my oatmeal. I have a hard time increasing my fish intake, but I am trying. I didn't know that eggs were safe for the endo diet, but I suppose if they are organic/ hormone free they should be fine...

What are Hemp hearts? What do you use them for/ How do you incorporate them into your diet?

I'm happy you posted this because as a newbie on the Endo Diet it is nice to hear other's experiences with it!

Hello, ladies! I just have been recently diagnosed with endometriosis this month and surgery to remove it after many many years of suffering. I still have some pain currently, but not as bad and I know that the endometriosis will grow back. I work as a nurse in a internal medicine office so I was pretty familiar with endometriosis to start with. I have done a lot of research and have read what to avoid eating when you have endometriosis. What is really frustrating to me is that I want to avoid these foods so I will hopefully have some relief and have more energy, but my husband pretty much told me that I won't be able to do it. What really drives me crazy is that he has Celiac's and does not avoid gluten at all (it isn't really bothering him other than mild iron def anemia, fatigue, and sometimes an awful upset stomach, but nothing near what my grandmother experiences if she has gluten). Does anyone have any advice on how to talk to him into being more helpful and positive about the changes I want to make and not be negative? I love him dearly and I just don't think he understands, but I really need support.

I don't follow the Endo Diet, however, I have greatly reduces (almost eliminated) red meat and milk. I'll have both sparingly, but overall, especially when I am already hormonal, I stay away from those completely.

I have noticed that if I eat Organic Beef and Raw Milk I have 'zero' problems with beed and dairy. This has led me to believe it may not be the beed/diary itself, but the hormones they give most cows...No scientific evidence on this, just what I've experienced while experimenting.

I follow my own diet and also incorporate anti inflammatory as gas pressure causes a lot of issues as the Endo was found in my intestines.
