Just been diagnosed with Endo

Hi All, I've just found out I have endometriosis and have been reading up on various websites, but one thing I can't seem to find out which I feel might be linked is very bad PMT. I just wanted to know if anyone else gets this and if they know if there is some link? I get symptoms resembling Hypoglycemia (feeling like I need to eat carbs - feeling shaky, nauseated, sweating, very tired and weak) and this can happen up to a week before I come on my period to a week after (so most of the month). Often the only thing that seems to work is to have a steak and a pint of Guinness! But I also get very emotional - teary, angry etc. Does anyone else get this? Does anyone know if there are diet recommendations for endo sufferers?

I'm also having similar issues however I have completely lost my appetite and the thought of eating creates nausea. I also seem to struggle the week before, the week of and after!

Not sure about diet ideas but at least you know someone else is going through similar! xx

Thanks becca97! x

Cutting out wheat and gluten really helps for me. I also try and stay away from lots of sugar and don't eat greasy food. I also don't really drink alcohol as that seems to cause pain the day after, quite bad pain as well. When I found out I had endo I was told to keep an eye on my diet so just googled diets for endometriosis and got a lot of answers. I also ordered a book online from Amazon about how to cope with endo. Hope this helps 😊

Thanks Megvarn! That's helpful
