Diet & Endometriosis: how to relieve yourself quickly

Does endometriosis make you suffer with its pain, digestive disorders, bloating, endobelly, constipation, diarrhea, and chronic fatigue?

Did you know that you can act every day on reducing these symptoms with what you put on your plate?

YES, because endometriosis is an inflammatory, hormonal, and immune disease, and micro-nutrition can play a major role! Thanks to certain foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, you can reduce inflammation, rebalance your hormones, and strengthen your immune system.

Why is micro-nutrition essential for endometriosis?

To target the 5 mechanisms of endometriosis development!

1. Inflammation: The main enemy of endometriosis

Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease. Good news, certain anti-inflammatory foods can calm this reaction in your body.

2. Oxidative stress: Reducing one of the mechanisms of endometriosis

Your body fights against a high level of oxidative stress with endometriosis. By eating antioxidants (found in colorful fruits and vegetables), you protect your cells and reduce the impact of endometriosis.

3. Hormonal balance: Calming the estrogens

Excess estrogen worsens endometriosis. An appropriate diet can help you rebalance your hormonal system.

4. The gut microbiota: Reduce your dysbiosis and your immune dysfunction

Your microbiota plays a key role in immunity and hormonal balance. By eating fiber and probiotics, you can reduce the imbalance of your gut microbiota, which will also directly affect inflammation (80% of your immune cells are located in your intestines).

1. Foods to prioritize

Are you wondering what to put on your plate to calm inflammation and soothe pain? Here are some valuable allies:

1. Anti-inflammatory foods

Opt for foods rich in omega-3, such as fatty fish (salmon, sardines), nuts, and flaxseeds. They naturally reduce inflammation.

2. Rich in antioxidants

Red fruits (blueberries, raspberries), green vegetables (spinach, broccoli), and other colorful superfoods boost your defenses against oxidative stress.

3. Probiotics and fibers

Add fermented foods like kefir and kimchi, as well as fiber (vegetables, legumes) to care for your microbiome and aid digestion.

4. Spices and herbs

Turmeric, ginger, and garlic are your best friends for reducing inflammation and soothing pain.

5. But also and above all: the foods that you digest easily!

Indeed, just because a food is anti-inflammatory or antioxidant doesn't mean it's easily digestible for you. For example, some women have difficulty digesting quinoa even though it is recommended.

So don't hesitate to keep a food journal to identify the foods you digest best and prioritize them!

2. Foods to Avoid

Some foods can worsen your symptoms. It's better to reduce or especially substitute them (to continue enjoying yourself, very important!!):

1. Pro-inflammatory foods

Avoid refined sugars, ultra-processed foods, and red meat, as they fuel inflammation. For proteins, prioritize lean white meats, fish, and eggs with the Bleu-Blanc-Cœur label.

2. Dairy products

For some women, dairy products (milk, cheese, cream) can worsen inflammation and hormonal imbalances. Try to limit them or opt for plant-based alternatives (almond milk, coconut milk, etc.).

3. Gluten

Gluten (found in wheat, barley, rye) can be poorly tolerated. Try gluten-free alternatives (plant-based flours: buckwheat, gluten-free oats, rice, chestnut...).

4. Alcohol and caffeine

Alcohol is pro-inflammatory and can also disrupt your hormonal balance.
Caffeine (coffee, black tea, energy drinks) can stimulate hormonal imbalance by boosting your cortisol production, thus fueling inflammation and worsening anxiety and chronic fatigue. Opt for alternatives like chicory, or decaffeinated options (but with brands that use a non-toxic process).

5. Endocrine disruptors

They are present in plastics and pesticides. Favor organic foods, as local as possible (Picard can be a good alternative, offering mostly foods of French origin, whose nutrients have been preserved thanks to freezing, whereas there is a huge loss of nutrients for foods left in the open air during long transport) and avoid plastic containers.

3. Easy-to-implement tips

Small easy adjustments that you can implement as soon as tomorrow can already make you feel better quickly:

Start your meals with raw vegetables and this anti-inflammatory dressing: A salad with a dressing rich in omega-3 (such as flaxseed oil), unpasteurized apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice helps stabilize your blood sugar.
Opt for anti-inflammatory snacks: Nuts, berries, and a square of dark chocolate (rich in cocoa) are perfect for treating yourself while taking care of yourself.
Drink plenty of filtered water to avoid toxins, and remember to hydrate regularly (outside of meals, it's even better).

Be kind to yourself, don't blame yourself, and rejoice in the improvements, even the small ones!

Living with endometriosis is challenging. So don't add guilt to it! Keep pleasure in your diet by substituting rather than eliminating!

Being accompanied is essential because every woman is different: sometimes certain anti-inflammatory foods may not be digestible for you.

Every small change counts, and you might see positive effects quite quickly: less bloating, more energy, and easing of pain.

Of course, it doesn't happen overnight, but with consistency, you will definitely feel the difference.

So, try these tips, listen to your body, and above all, be patient with yourself. You deserve to feel better!

And one last important thing:

Micro-nutrition is essential to feel better, but it's not enough!!

The Mind is also essential for reducing the causes of your symptoms, and Movement as well.
