I haven't tried it but when I was told to go dairy free the practitioner said it would take at least a month to get it out of my system and upto three months before i noticed any difference. This was primarily for my IBS but I do have endo too. I did feel loads better after about 6 weeks - which begs the question why I ever started eating dairy again!! Now about to begin the diet again and keep it this time .:.. I don't think you get instant results though, your body needs time to adjust.

Hi . I have found removing gluten is helpful. Pain is reduced but not completely. I try being strict with diet a week before n after menses. Avoid sugar, diary. Helpful to eat alkaline n anti-inflammatory foods xx

Questions to ask your doctor:

============================

You may think that if you become ill you just go the doctor and they give you a drug to take away the illness

What if your Endometriosis is caused by things that you eat, or don't eat ?

Here are some questions to ask your doctors about Endometriosis

* What causes it ?

* How will looking at it and scraping it help me get better ?

* Could my illness be caused by things that I eat, or don't eat ?

* What can I change about my diet and lifestyle to help my body repair itself ?

These are easy questions to ask but very difficult for doctors to answer, as they know very little about Nutrition.

It may be worth asking them to refer you to a Dietitian or a Nutritional Therapist, as they specialise in Nutrition.

If your doctor won't do this, try a search for BANT at bant.org.uk/bant/jsp/practi... and interview 10 local Nutritional Therapists who have had success advising about Endometriosis before choosing which one to work with
