Endometriosis?

It's true; a well-balanced nourishing variable diet and regular exercise keeps your menstruation much more regular and manageable. I was diagnosed over 10 years ago.

Listen to your body and how it responds to current foods before deciding on a restrictive diet. Do you feel unwell after eating red meat, bread, pasta, etc?

If so, trial the diet for about a month or so and check your body again. Do you feel better? Or do you have cravings?

Then slowly change and adapt your diet to your body's needs. This is a very long process.

I have learned about my body and management of endo that:
- I feel better if I have regular warm meals
- I feel sick if I eat red meat more than once/twice per week
- I crave fish, nuts, fruits and vegetables if I don't eat enough during the week
- I have to exercise everyday
- I have to avoid sugar/salt overloads from junk food and beverages including alcohol ; my worst periods occur then.

Search for articles written by physicians/nutritionists who specialise in endometriosis; everything else take with a grain of a salt. Your body is unique and will have unique needs.

All the best to you.
