Hi

According to the surgeon who operated me, I had really bad endometrioses. Not wanting to go through another surgery, nor take the strong hormones post-operation, I reasearched and experimented everything possible. I also had bad period pain, which would make me bed-ridden at least the whole first day...

Here's what I found:

- Wheat.....100% bad for endometrioses. Switched to spelt flour instead.
- Zinc and B6 supplements during the second half of the cycle to raise progesterone levels naturally (which prevents endo.).
- Enzymes (bromelain/papaya) inbetween meals to digest the misplaced endometrioses in the womb and heal inflammation.
- No sugar, red meat or milk products to reduce inflammation (and period pain).
- A high dose B-vitamin supplement throughout the cycle, but especially important to take during and two days before period. B-vits. break down oestrogen (which is in excess with endo. prob.), and this supplement also minimizes blood loss. This is crucial to prevent endo from occuring in the first place.
- Take no vitamins/minerals, except the B-vits two days before and during period. We are extremely sensitive to supplements and various food such as the meat and milk. Best to keep the body clean of anything artificial around that time.

Hope this helps some...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
