So, I've come across "The Endo Diet". I don't know if I can do it.
There are a lot of good tips that we do anyway--don't eat processed foods, avoid red meat, lots of fruits and veggies, lots of water, Omega 3s, organic as much as possible (honestly, if we can't get organic from Costco we don't get it at all these days--the budget doesn't stretch that far...we are expecting to go back to grocery shopping at Real Foods once Hazen starts working again, though!). The tricky parts for me will be getting whole grains WITHOUT wheat or rye (sigh) and avoiding most dairy. Yogurt is good, but I guess dairy wreaks havoc on the endo ridden body. I suppose a calcium supplement will be in order?
I will talk to my doctor next week to see if he thinks a change in diet could be beneficial to me. I'm glad that most of the recommendations are things we follow anyway, but if I have to give up ice-cream, I will not be a happy girl!

Rice ice cream is superb--especially the chocolate-covered ice cream bars with nuts... Don't worry, there are alternatives!
ReplyDeleteAnd unless you're drinking raw milk, your body has a hard time absorbing the calcium from milk anyway. Eat lots of almonds (raw if you can find them)--they have lots of calcium and lots of protein.
