What can I eat to help endometriosis? Can diet help?

Having a good diet can be really beneficial in cases of endometriosis as part of the problem is inflammation. Avoid foods that can exacerbate inflammation, such as:

      • Refined sugar
      • Caffeine
      • Animal fats
      • Processed foods

Focus on getting more fresh fruit and veg which are rich in minerals, vitamins and antioxidants as these can help to combat inflammation. A diet rich in magnesium and iron can also help to support you through heavy, painful periods that can come along with endometriosis.
Many spices also have anti-inflammatory properties so you should try to include more of these into your cooking:

      • Turmeric
      • Ginger
      • Cinnamon
