Since being diagnosed with Endo and having a laparoscopy i thought that my bloating would disappear, when it didn’t I knew I had to try changing my diet. I have been on FODMAP and have found it has really helped. I’m much more aware of how my body reacts to certain foods. Could be worth a try?

I am gluten free and mostly dairy free and find this helps me :) xxx

Apart from diet changes that you can make ie cutting out dairy and gluten, peppermint tea is amazing for bloating! I drink something called 'tummy tea' which is peppermint, liquorice root, fennel and marigold petals. I drank it after my lap and whenever I get bloated nowadays, normally around my period. I find it really soothing an helpful. There's loads available but here's a link to the one I drink.

I've been eating healthy and switched from coffee to peppermint tea and that seems to have helped my bloating a lot. I hardly eat bread anymore either. But I think a big helper for me is peppermint tea :)
