Tips for everyday living
When living with endometriosis changing your diet can help with some of the symptoms associated with this problem.
It can help reduce pain, and relieve cramps. Helps reduce inflammation and bloating. It can reduce estrogen levels and balance out your hormones.
Change the oils in your diet from the bad ones (saturated fats, butter, animal and organ meats, and lard) will help decrease symptoms. Choose oils like fish oil, walnut oil, flax seeds, and oil or olive oil.
A diet high in fiber is crucial to helping to reduce endometriosis symptoms, it is known to decrease circulating estrogen levels in the body. Whole grains (except wheat and rye), peas and beans, brown rice, and fruits and vegetables. Even oatmeal will help reduce symptoms.
Mustard greens, broccoli, cabbage and turnips are recommended to control estrogen levels.
Some foods to avoid are wheat (contains physic acid which can aggravate symptoms of endometriosis), Red meats (contain growth hormones and promotes negative prostaglandins which can cause inflammation), Chocolate, and dairy products (can cause inflammation), and caffeine (increases cramping, and increases estrogen levels).

Things to avoid
Try to avoid smoking, it's much better for your immune system. Women try not to be so stressed out. It seems to cause women to stop ovulating and causes hormonal issues. Increase fibrous foods in your diet to help balance estrogen. Also use vitamins and Chinese herbs they have been proven to be more effective then regular drugs for endometriosis. Hydrotherapy is also recommended by practitioners. Valerian, black haw, and wild yam are also some natural alternatives to use to relieve pain.
