Nutrition and Food Allergies

Watching what you consume can significantly decrease some endometriosis symptoms.  I became aware of these signs after my diagnosis surgery.  I searched for many ways to alleviate pain, gas, heart burn, constipation and diahrreaha.  I stopped eating beef and pork years before I had any surgeries. Avoiding certain food can help with:

• Inflammation
• Bloating
• Gas
• Balance hormones
• Manage weight
• Reduce toxins

 After my diagnosis, I also cut out the following foods:

• Fried foods (I indulge every blue moon.  Since this causes the least amount of pain.  I also cook my french fries in the oven)
• Red meat, pork
• Starch
• Sugar
• White flour
• Dairy
• Soy
• All processed food (no fast food)
• Dark soda (except sprite, gingerale)
• Eggs

Below is a list of foods that are good to eat:

• Legumes, almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, etc
• Almond milk to replace dairy and soy milk
• Seafood  (high in fatty acids, which can reduce inflammation)
• Fruits
• Vegetables (eat both lightly steamed and raw daily.  I enjoy making a veggie smoothie.  Where I combine most of my daily servings.  About 3-5 different types veggies)
• 1 gallon of water daily
• Brown, black or wild rice
• Oatmeal
• Oat flour, rice flour, almond meal
• Raw honey, agave

       Not comsuming beef and pork can improve digestion.  Also fried foods, to much starch.  Eating this way will ease digestive aches.  Also, you don't have to worry about calories or fiber.  Fiber is in most fruits and veggies.  Everything that we are supposed to eat.  You will be regular if you get nutrients and hydration.  Iron is also in dark green leafy veggies.  There is no cure for endometriosis.  However, you can improve your quality of life, by comsuming what your body needs.

        Your body will also become sensitive to eating bad foods.  Over time it will not allow you to comsume unhealthy foods.  Also, watching what you eat means there aren't many places who cater to no meat, no dairy, and no soy allergies lifestyles.  My family memebrs are witnesses.   I do not consume fastfood.  There are only a handful of resturants who can cater to these food allergies.  Many worry about what are they going to eat.  I have replaced many foods with alternatives.  Made my own versions of my favorite recipes.   The only meat I currently eat is seafood.  However, I will still upload recipes for people that do.  Which I will post for you to enjoy!
