How to Fight Endometriosis with Food

Have you ever heard that your diet is 80% of how you feel?  I believe it.  If you pay attention to how you eat, you will feel similar to what you eat.  If you eat a bunch of junk food, you feel sluggish and not so good.  You eat whole foods and quality protein you feel a lot better.

Did you know that it is possible to fight a endometriosis diagnoses with food?  Even if you aren’t officially diagnosed with endometriosis, but suspect that you have it, changing your eating habits can play a HUGE roll in fighting the disease.

Things to avoid eating would be:

  • dairy
  • whole wheat products
  • anything man made/processed and
  • added sugar

You’re probably thinking there goes everything I eat, what am I to eat now?

It’s really not that hard.  When I met with the Naturopathic Doctor for the first time, she put me on this way of eating.  I didn’t focus so much on what I couldn’t eat, but what I could eat.

Don’t focus on what you can’t eat, but what you CAN eat!

I had never before had buckwheat which isn’t a form of wheat but a wholegrain.  I bought some “creamy buckwheat” from our whole foods co-op made with water and a little bit of maple syrup and cinnamon for breakfast.

My lunches were spinach salads with alfalfa sprouts, grated carrots, cucumbers, occasionally canned chicken or tuna and a little bit of clean ranch dressing, and a serving of a fresh fruit for dessert.

Supper was some form of vegetable with a little butter and sea salt.  I did drink dandelion root tea with milk thistle or nettle leaf tea, this was essential for helping my liver detox from all the excess estrogen my body needed to get out of my body.

One month from starting to eat this way, I naturally lost weight and I didn’t get the migraine the day before my period.  I also didn’t have ANY pain!

This was all within one month of coming off of a form of birth control I had been on for 10-years to control my pain!  Did my pain come back?  Not as long as I ate this way!

Naturally there would be times I’d try eating my former favorites such as Fettuccini Alfredo or Manicotti and both times I would pay for it as it grew my endometriosis vs stop it in its tracks.  My endometriosis also when actively growing was attached and wrapped around my intestines.

Which brings me to, will your bowel movements get better with this way of eating?  Mine did.  You aren’t eating the junk or all the sugar you were before.  Both junk food and sugar, equal constipation.  Eating whole foods with teas that support your vital organs in processing EVERYTHING that you come into contact with is key!

Have you ever heard that Endo is diabetes of the ovaries?  Too much sugar ladies!
