i have endo and i am sedueled for my seccond LAP this year so i decided 8 weeks ago i cut out ;
red meat
dairy
wheat
caffeen
gluten
also soya although it is an alternantive for dairy soya has been noted as also being a cause for endo so keep away from soya altho some dairy free products have small amounts of soya which should be fine,
i found the best substitue for milk is coconut milk with added calcium and there is a cream alternative made from oats.

but i have noticed i think i may have low iron i have been suffering with palpetations and very tired so i have found some folic acid that also contains the rda of iron so i hope it makes a difference.

there are so many alternatives now to help cut these things out such as wheat free pasta and bread its just hard to get hold of sometimes.

Wanabe. I am just curious: do you feel different now after being on such a strict diet for 8 weeks? Have you felt any changes?

I kinda gave up on the diet last weekend since I was attending a course all weekend and it was busy and I got really hungry and ... hmm I gave up.
But I am still thinking about trying again, especially I am interested in the Gluten Free diet

I read an interesting study. They put a bunch of kids with ADHD on a gluten and dairy free diet for 5 weeks and 3/4th of the kids became "normal" as long as they followed the diet. Amazing huh. I know it does not have something to do with endo but it does show the power that eating the wrong food can have.

I'd like to put one (or more) of my students on the diet if it calms them down!

(I teach kindergarten)

Thats is interesting about the study, as I have Celiacs and often felt hungry - especially at school as could not snack - which can affect attention and other things. Also in general, poor quality foods will not give much nutritional value which can have an effect as well on children.

I do feel very different AF was very light and almost pain free and the rest of the time I don't feel bloated, heavy or have tummy ache it's just the palpitations and tiredness but I started an iron supplement so I'm hoping it helps

Wow the study about the ADHD kids is amazing it just goes to show what power food has on your body.

Can you give some examples of what you eat. Like what are your main meals during the day.
Am a bit upset with myself; just went and bought a few gluten free products and quinoa and now I am sitting here eating a bag of fat Doritos which are full of bad stuff as well as milk powder;/
Really would like to be on the diet but its soooo hard to get my act together.

Well I've been having bran flakes with coconut milk or fruit for breakfast for lunch I would have mixed bean soup or veg soup with some wheat free toast or bread or sandwich for snacks normal chrisps eg walkers or ones made just from potatoe dairy free cake or biscuits and evening meals lots or rice fresh fish or chicken lots of veg and spinach or wheat free pasta, I also buy decaff coffee and lots of fruit juice.

I have gluten intolerance and follow a gluten free diet. I get really sick if I have gluten, so I follow the diet religiously.
After I was diagnosed and started the GF diet my endo symptoms got a lot better. My hubby and I are still ttc, no luck yet.
