Super hungry

[Butterfly20]

Does anyone else get a super big appetite when they have an endometriosis flair up?

[Hidden]

You're not alone! I woke up this morning because of pain and endo flare up and I was super hungry and ate a lot 😅😅

It’s crazy. The last week days my endo has been super bad and the last 3/4 days I’ve been non stop eating and my stomach still rumbles

[Hidden in reply to Butterfly20]

I know right! I've just finished a big meal of pasta but still want to eat snacks and stuff. Not really happy about and trying to control my appetite.

[Butterfly20 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah same here. I’ve just had dinner- chicken nuggets and chips and now I’m eating a pot noodle. It’s weird haha

[Hidden in reply to Butterfly20]

Oh..I want noodles too! 😂

[Butterfly20 in reply to Hidden]

Haha it’s a nightmare

[Hidden in reply to Butterfly20]

Absolutely!

Definitely not alone. Haha I'm exactly like you both.

Pudding and snacks are my biggest weakness. Tried to give up my usual snacks for Lent and I've unconsciously broken it once.... Parter offered me half a twix and I'd already bitten in to it before I realised what i was doing 😂

[Hidden in reply to RothShep]

Oh my! 😂 I'd do the same if I was offered Kitkat 😂

[RothShep in reply to Hidden]

Lol!

I get massive sugar cravings - I'm a sugar fiend at the best of times but when I'm having at flare up its completely crazy!!! My doc also said that it's the worst thing you can have as it can increase inflammation!!!! (But that doesn't stop me!)

[Butterfly20 in reply to Grizzlesticks]

I’m not meant to have dairy but it’s so hard when I’ve a flair up coz there’s not enough dairy free stuff!! Xx

Yes! A life time of this - Ive never lost my appetite in my life.

The week before menses was feeding the monster to bring it on!

Sugar feeds sugar cravings...recently I found that the Fodmap fiet is the one best for endometriosis sufferers apparently,

I must say my Days or low carb Atkins based diet were the days my Endo least affected me.

Exercise too, when I could helped lots with heavy periods yet not on my period that was just too darn sore/heavy.

Please look into inflammatory foods ladies, if we know all we can to try and keep this disease simmering and nit boiling within us we are at least in the fight with this nasty coward!

Good luck

Helly!

I’m either super hungry and can’t stop eating, or I don’t eat at all. When I get bloated or am in really bad pain (endo belly) I find I have no appetite at all.
