Some key objectives regarding nutrition and endometriosis should be to boost gut flora, normalize immune response, remove metabolic wastes and to optimize liver function (the liver is key in the detoxification of toxins and in the metabolism of hormones). Plenty of regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight and EATING THE RIGHT FOOD along with taking some certain key supplements (which would need to be tailored to you individually as part of a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan) have also been found to help.
Why does fibre help in the management of endometriosis?
Fibre helps remove excess oestrogen from the body. Oestrogen is a key hormone, and you need some of it for normal functioning. But too much oestrogen can aggravate endometriosis symptoms like cramping and pain. That’s where food and fibre can come to the rescue. Oestriol is the type of oestrogen that can be expelled in the stool after being bonded to fibre. The diet needs to have sufficient fibre to help the body deal with the constant breakdown of circulating oestrogens.
