Stuff that has helped my endo
Hi ladies,
I have discovered that what I eat has a profound impact on how I feel. I am sensitive to both gluten and dairy. Removing these things from my diet has resulted in less pain and fatigue. Other women with endo have had similar experiences when changing their diet. To learn more read: enodmetriois: a key to healing and fertility through nutrition. This book goes in depth on what endo is and how the proper nutrients can help you heal. You may also be interested in the book: endometriosis: The complete reference for taking charge of your health.
When I do have menstrual cramps, I have found that taking 400mg of ibuprofen together with 1000mg tylenol helps with the pain more than either drug alone.
I am curious, but do you guys have other health problems? I have asthma, hashimotos disease, and interstitial cystitis. When I changed my diet, my asthma also improved dramatically.
Read the books and let me know what you think.

I do not avoid meat, if I did I wouldn't be able to eat much of anything. I do avoid meat that contains msg. If I could afford it I would eat organic only. Unfortunately I cannot afford it. It seems that gluten sensitivity and multiple rounds of antibiotics have caused a leaky gut. As a result I have developed multiple food sensitivities.
The author of the book on nutrition mentioned above is the only nutritionist specializing in endo. She has found that 80% of women with endo have trouble with wheat. For some this is due to gluten and for others their bodies do not respond well to wheat. She explains that wheat that has changed since the 1970s and the number of hormonal and genetic changes that have taken place in non-organic wheat. The other biggie is dairy. This is not true of all sufferers but seems to be common to a large number of women that she has counseled.
I have also discovered that there is a strong correlation between hashimotos disease and gluten sensitivity. I would strongly suggest reading the books I mentioned. Reading these books should help you better understand endo and that there are many autoimmune disorders that often accompany it.

Changing your diet can help, as there are hormones in dairy and in meats/cheeses, which may cause an extra "surge" of estrogens which can feed endo. I'm so glad you brought this up. If possible we should try to avoid meats and cheeses/dairy but it's really hard!!
