With all the information available regarding food,
Shouldn't eating healthy be the easiest thing to do?
With an ounce of instinct, it should be "technically" simple
But let's be honest, it's a pretty complicated topic
Especially when you have endometrios
A Google search of endometriosis + nutrition will return thousands of pages telling you to completely eliminate certain foods, eat only organic products or even follow only certain meal plans
Endometriosis is frustrating and alienating
There is still no specific treatment or cure. It manifests itself differently between people - what works in one person may not necessarily work in another.
Maybe you've already tried one specific nutritional plan for endometriosis, only to find that it's something so restrictive that you won't be able to follow it.
Maybe you also suffer from irritable bowel syndrome(IBS) and it all makes it even more difficult to know what to eat.
You may have found yourself in the situation where the indications prescribed by your doctor are not working and there are still months to pass before surgery.
A book on endometriosis can help but the methods described to treat it are too strict. It is difficult to follow a specific meal plan for endometriosis to the letter, especially if it was not custom developed for you.
There is a lot of misinformation on the web.
In a world full of superficial and wrong information, choose science-based information
I can't promise you a miracle diet that will cure your endometriosis. To date, unfortunately there is still no cure.
However,a correct diet and lifestyle can significantly reduce pain, improve your digestive system andmake you feel better overall.
Optimized nutrition and proper nutritional support have made a difference for many people.
There is a way to eat healthy that doesn't involve too restrictive a diet, a nutrient deficiency or require hours of preparation in the kitchen.

FAQ
Do you develop a meal plan with specific restrictions (ex. vegetarian, vegan, low carb, etc)?
