I have Endometriosis, multiple fibroids and an Endometrioma. My whole life I have been suffering from pain, constipation and digestive issues. After knowing my condition and doing lots of research I changed my diet completely. I removed all Inflamatory food such as red meat, sugar, wheat, dairy and processed food. I focused on plant based food and fish plus exercising at least 4 times a week. I am pain free, my constipation is gone, the inflamation is gone and one of the fibroids actually ruptured. This is my personal experience. Diet , excercice and supplements are important if you want to improve your life quality while having Endometriosis and hormone imbalance. Thank you for the great informative video.

I think it’s important to note that conventionally raised animal meat is inflammatory, but grass fed / grass finished & pasture raised animals are very healthy and nourishing for the body. Quality definitely matters.

Flaxseed absolutely made me worse. Please be careful. Flax is highly estrogenic. Bringing it into the diet gave me a giant flare up that lasted for weeks !!!

@dr.patriciamills

7 ай бұрын

Everyone should be careful adding something new, many people do not react to flax seed and most reactions are not because of the estrogenic effects (which are usually in the positive reaction) but because of problems with the gut microbiome, or an individual food sensitivity which is less common. Glad you were able to identify is a a trigger for you!

Great question! That was not documented however one would assume the majority were eating conventional and not grass fed meat ;)

You explained Endometriosis in such a nice way that a person like me understand it on the first go, Women are suffering and there is no way out because they are taking medicines but eating wrong food, that means they want to stop the fire by gasoline. Food is medicine, I feel if these women used to eat clean previously they won't have faced this problem. I am sure with such an excellent diet many women will get benefit.

Correct - the teachings on endometriosis apply to adenomyosis which is a form of endometriosis. Hope this helps!

hey, what if someone nreds surgery and chooses to treat this naturally,if their pain stops does this mean they still have lesions that need to be taken out? or could the lesions increase in size over time untill gone?

@dr.patriciamills

11 ай бұрын

It really depends - surgery is usually reserved for when the endometriosis is blocking things or causing significant pain. If the pain goes away and it's not blocking (urine outflow, bowels for example) then surgery is usually not needed. If the root cause(s) are not identified, then the lesions could increase over time - or stay the same size, or shrink. Hope this helps!

What’s the connection between hypothyroid and endometriosis in regards to diet?

@dr.patriciamills

3 ай бұрын

Generally speaking foods like ultra-processed foods, gluten sources that have been sprayed with pesticides and too much simple sugars with not enough nutrients from a wholesome diet (like lack of Vitamin A, iodine, etc) can lead to various health issues. For some it can manifest as thryoid problems, others as endomestriosis, etc. Hope this helps!

Sorry to hear! Have you watched all of the videos in my Endometriosis playlist? It's important to address all potential root causes, and most importantly, be patient and persistent. It can take a year or two to see the kind or results you desire. Also being vegan and gluten free is not necessarily healthy, depending on how you do it. I recommend watching my video 'How to eat for hormone health' to see what I mean. Best of luck!!!

Hi, thank you for the information. My gynae asked me to reduce the intake of beans as well, esp soy bean related products, which will increase the astrogen. Is that true?

@dr.patriciamills

Жыл бұрын

hi! It's a bit controversial. Organic fermented soy without unwanted added preservatives etc can be helpful to modulate estrogen levels due to it's phytoestrogen content. However it is very hard to find good quality soy, so reducing soy products which are heavily sprayed with pesticides if not organic is good advice. Whether eating phytoestrogens worsens local tissue estrogen in fibroids is unknown. Good quality properly prepared soy in moderation is probably ok but hard to find. Hope this helps!
