So im post surgery and given this is a disease driven by high estrogen sceptical about what foods to eat

So now im very nervous about what foods to eat because I was eating healthy foods when i could eat and symptoms went through the roof! Has anyone got experience of what low estrogen based healthy foods they are finding successful. I fear that i was eating too much soy when i tried vegan 😔

The jury is out on phyto oestrogens as there is an argument that these very weak oestrogens attach to oestrogen receptors and prevent the stronger oestradiol (E2) from attaching. Endo is not necessarily about high oestrogen but about progesterone resistance. Rather than thinking about cutting out healthy foods it is best to cut out those that interfere with the metabolism of oestradiol by the liver which can then increase circulating levels, such as caffeine, alcohol and processed foods.
