endometriosis diet

[Autumn68]

I've been posting things trying to find out how people eat from this forum, and after trying to figure out the perfect diet for me, it's kind of spelled out for me.
It looks like I'm going to have to go on the endometriosis diet for health reasons. I've been going crazy thinking I'm allergic to everything but find out (even after a hysterectomy) that I need to follow this diet. You know when something is not right w/ your body, and after so much research I find out that this is the best way to eat for all my issues. It's healthy and that's great, but It's a huge change. I will have to buy organic and other expensive things that are not in our budget. I'd love to but I don't think we can afford it.
DH is going through a lot and wont be thrilled to redo our whole meal plan - I can buy some things for him but what do I cook 2 meals? He has a prob keeping weight on, and he'll just eat what I make. But it's buying the expensive groceries I'm worried about. Anyone else have this issue?

Sorry to be do discouraging. It's such a big deal...(some chicken and some fish, lots of vegies and no wheat but some sort of bread and pasta, no dairy, or chocolate and caffeine). I have to buy a cookbook, no free recipes on the web that I can find.
I know I'll loose weight, but it's a whole overhaul....
If anyone has any to share, that would be great.
sorry for venting.....Autumn

I have the same problem but have never heard of this diet where did you find the information for it. I take BC pills to keep mine under control and I had my tubes tied.

I researched my symptoms to death. I don't know why it never occurred to me. Whenever I eat the foods on the "bad list" it made me sick and all the ways it makes me sick was on that diet explanation. Also, endo is linked to thyroid disease (which I am taking sythroid for), I have symptoms for IRS which is also linked. There were so many links to these things, I couldn't ignore it. My body was telling me somethings wrong with each bite and I never knew why. I'll put some links on this post for you that I found. (There are too many to put them all) - Autumn

I didn't even know that there was a diet for this. Thanks.

Its sort of what I've arrived at on my own. . interesting.

Years ago I went to a nutritionist who took into consideration my recent diagnosis for this. She said the number one food for me to avoid was canned tuna. She never gave a reason for it, just said it should be avoided by anyone who has Endo. problems. She also had me limited to 1700 calories, I look back on the meal plan and am not surprised that I felt light headed the whole time I followed it. She also removed all sugar from my diet, which was very hard to follow. Ahhh, the joys of being female.

Endometriosis is an often painful condition that affects more than 5 million women in the U.S. alone. While commonly treated with various hormone therapies, there have been women positively affected by alternative medicine coupled with a change in diet.
