Diet and Nutrition for Endometriosis.
While dietary changes are not a cure for endometriosis, learning how your body reacts to foods can help you control your endometriosis symptoms. Avoiding processed foods, eating fresh, organic produce, and avoiding sugar, wheat gluten, soy, and/or dairy products are all examples of dietary changes that may reduce stress on your body and possibly decrease some endometriosis symptoms. Many women reported successful symptom management when on an anti-inflammatory diet, others by avoiding wheat gluten and dairy products. Each of us respond differently to nutritional changes, therefore, working with a healthcare practitioner knowledgeable in diet and nutrition can help you with this process.
