Protein Shakes when on endo diet?

9 Replies

Are they OK to have when on the Endo diet?

I want to start taking them to help me gain some weight but I don't know if that can be taken as part of the anti-inflammatory diet? Not much appetite for food when i am in pain so these will help too.

Anyone on it? And if so how much a day?

Thanks!

I just wanted to hear it from others who have tried it and get to hear what has worked or hasn't worked.

Appreciate it!

I guess it depends on ingredients I’m in same boat .The thing I’ve found helpful is adding an extra small meal before bed but it’s hard for me to stick too.check there’s no added soy.better still I’m sure their will be homemade protein shakes you can make with organic ingredients at home as commercial ones are full of sugar usually which endo is not good for

Yep. Thats's why i am asking really . I was sure they would be loaded up with all sorts of stuff that would clash with the endo diet. So was wondering what worked or what didnt.

Thanks i'll look into in the homemade ones. If i can do that even better!

Some protein shakes contain soy and phytoestrogenic ingredients. They are the fuel for endo growth and spread.

Check out free soul protein shakes they are balanced for women to help their hormones. The chocolate is great with oat or almond milk. They do a vegan one which is ok but not as nice as the whey. All soy free etc

Hi I have protein shakes everyday. I have endo and have sought advice from a nutritionist. I do have to have a vegan one as we worked out that cows milk (whey protein) causes me inflammation. Wyldson protein powder is a nice vegan blend with cinnamon and turmeric (good for reducing inflammation). Hope you find one that works for you!

Thanks! sounds great. Will check it out
