Supplements & Meds for Endometriosis

[Ljayne]

Hello All, I'm currently taking metformin as prescribed by my doctor, folic acid, zinc and bee propolis. I am just interested to know what you are all taking and if anyone has had any success from it? I have severe endometriosis and I am open to exploring anything (within reason!) that might help whilst I'm waiting for my operation.

Hey, I’m taking Tumeric tablets (good for reducing inflation) CBD oil (good for reducing pain and keeping anxiety low) milk thistle, burdock herbs (good for acne, I suffer acne due to hormones) vit B12 (great for fatigue) omega 3 oils (great anti inflammatory) cranberry tablets (good for keeping bacteria out of urinary tract) i take all these every day once a day and find the combo work well for me. I have cut out caffeine completely & dairy. I Drink more water, & trying to stick to low sugar anti inflammatory diet containing low levels of gluten. I love a wine/cider so haven’t cut it out but try to keep it as low as poss. It sounds really strict but actually it’s like a change to see what new foods I can try. & if I really want to eat something I do then I just make sure that I don’t fall into bad habits. The CBD oil, Tumric, omega 3 & cranberry tablets work wonders for me! Also for fatigue I find the crash of a fine and sugars are very unhelpful instead I try dried fruit and water. Hope this helps x

What CBD oil do you use? I've been wanting to try some but Im not sure where to get some. I know there's some at Holland and Barrett but it seems a little expensive.

The ones from Holland and Barrett are the ones I have x

Visanne (progestin medication) is the medication that has helped me the most
