Thank You for the video. Not many doctors those days have a holistic approach like you and many sadly are just affiliates for big pharma, so kudos again.I made a video in a similar topic after overcoming endo [I was diagnosed with endo 4 and suffered for 20 years]and YT suggested this video so I am here.I want every girl to know that getting better IS possible and I am NOT the only one who managed to put this illness into remission naturally. Never give up on yourself!! Sending love. Jola
So glad to hear this!
Excision surgery is the gold standard treatment. Not many doctors know how to do this. Find a specialist. It's worth it. I speak from experience
So, you recommend excision surgery? I am about to have mine with a C02 laser in a few weeks. I'm so scared of doing the wrong thing by having the surgery and ending - up in more pain with more problems than ever.
With love, another Sarah.
Wish you were my doctor. Really hard to find someone that can understand what I have to go through from ovulation until end of the period. I feel like a loser... I just don't have energy to do the things I want to. Thanks for this Video.
Thank you for the comment! I'm glad you found the information helpful!
Your not a loser u are unwell. I hv felt similar to u at times.
Me too.
Thank so much for this video!!! I feel like so much of my questions have finally been answered.
Glad it was helpful!
I try to follow a soy/gluten/dairy free diet thats mostly plantbased. And ive been starting to take a lot of suppliments. Would love for you to make an updated video talking about hemp and cbd for chronic pain as well.
Wow... It was so helpful, especially the clarification on Soy which is often confusing...
Glad it was helpful!
Wow I learned so much, explained why I have so much pain when I eat.
Glad this was helpful for you.
So validating!!! I am struggling with endo had partial hysterectomy and 2 other surgeries because of my endo it’s a beast living inside my body. Thanks so much for the information it’s much appreciated 😊
Glad you liked the info!
Did those surgies help?
you're so passionate and seem to care so much about this stuff it's amazing I have a degree nutrition but I lost my passion for it a while ago but it was refreshing to see how much you care about this especially in the topic of endometriosis I've been diagnosed with stage 4 and it sucks and it's painful I had to go to the hospital 3 x 1 sauce for a blood transfusion as well so much blood my hemoglobin drop to 60. Thank you for doing a video on the right foods to eat and avoid can you please tell me what your thoughts on coffee are as I love coffee and I'm finding it hard to give up the other thing I would like advice on if that's ok is how to stay healthy when you have a condition like this , due to the severity of my condition I might have to have some parts of me taken out and I'm petrified of the hormonal changes in the 10 days to my body and weight gain and I that sounds mean but I spent my whole life struggling with body image issues and body dysmorphia and now I'm finally at a stage where I can be ok with my buddy how are I know that any type of weight gain will make me very depressed. I have a background in health and still would like to work on it so but also want to look healthy and be healthy for my own purposes I don't know how I'll be able to control my hormones on my way on my anything without my female parts
Thank you!! That is so kind! Hopefully it can inspire you to find your passion again. We need more people educating! :)
Thank you for the information
You are welcome
Thank you so much! This is amazing. I finally went to the hospital 5 days ago because I couldn't put my clothes on or put my arms above my head or bend over I had to sit down because my cramps were so bad my entire lower back down to my tail bone all around my butt muscles side hips inner thighs etc. I'm bent over a lot, only position that is slightly comfortable is in a feetle position. They did a bunch of tests on me, but told me I had to go to a specialist to figure out if I have endo. But I know for sure that my hormones are unbalanced based on body hair. My cycle is always unpredictable and I'm on day 5 of my cycle right now and my body in those spots are sore like I just got done working out because of how bad my cycles are... I don't know what to do!!!
I am sorry you are in so much pain. I'm happy to jump on the phone to try to offer some suggestions for you! Schedule a call:

Yea Ok pmo
I gained 10 pounds in the past month and I can hardly keep anything down. I am just swelling and in pain. I don’t have a confirmed diagnosis- and because I am underweight, both doctors who I told about this told me it was a good thing I gained weight because I “need to”. I had the same experience when I had a reaction to a medication reaction years ago, with full-blown anorexia, when I gained 20 pounds in 2 weeks.
Thank you for this video. It is good to know I am not crazy when everyone else is treating me like I am.
Glad this video was helpful for you.
I do agree with you Dr. Beth. Natural remedies when dealing with endometriosis is the best solution. Especially when it comes to weigh. I remember my sister at one point had gain extra pounds. She was not comfortable with herself at all. So I had to check in Bio tex clinic and find ways that I could help. One of the things that I learnt was the importance of exercise when dealing with weight. When we exercise, chemicals, called endorphins, that are very similar to morphine are released. These are the body’s natural pain relievers and can help ease all kinds of pain. It is not necessary to exercise vigorously. Even moderate activities such as swimming, walking and jogging can help release endorphins into the body. Another advantage of any physical activity is that it will help reduce the stress and tension you will probably be dealing with as an endometriosis patient. Plan a regular exercise regime of around 30 minutes three times a week and your struggle with painful periods and other endometriosis related pains will likely be reduced.
Yes exercise can do amazing things!
Could you please post here again about the tea which can reduce intestinal inflammation? Thanks!
I am on lupron, 2 types of birth controls, and progesterone to treat my stage 4 endometriosis. This makes so much sense which I gained so much weight in such a short time.
Glad this resonated & helped explain things for you!

Hi frnd fr me i hve the same thing but me i. Losse .a lot of weight i dnr now why but the same i have sttage 4 thnkx
I was a medium/large girl 150 pounds now I am 226 pounds and plus size in so annoying having endometriosis ..
I am sorry! It is so tough!
I know how it feels :(
Lepa, I have PCSO, fibrocystic cysts in the uterus and went to have a laparoscopic hysterectomy once they went in they found out that I had stage 3 heading into stage 4 endometriosis. Now all I have is one ovary. 1.5 week post Op a long road to recovery but I completely understand the weight gain and everything that you're going through.
I was losing weight I was at my highest 238 and I was 16 I got down to 179 and my symptoms have been getting worse and I’m gaining weight back fast In a few weeks I’ve went back to 206
I gained weight to its domestic violence in Pascagoula, Mississippi
Thank you!
You are welcome!
I was diagnosed with Endometriosis at the top of February and am still in the process of healing. Every doctor has told me that my 25lb weight gain does NOT have anything to do with my endo and I just don't believe how that can be true. I was so healthy and fit at one point and now I struggle with Endo belly. I want to lose the weight more than anything but nothing seems to work. I don't know what to do.
Same here
THANK YOU!!
You are welcome!
What was the last supplement you mentioned please? I've not heard of it
She is correct on almost every single thing, my only caution here is Ashwaganda- this lowers high blood pressure... so it seems good. This is NOT a root every one should use. It made me dizzy, nauseous and throw up for 3 days. I took 3 doses. It took 3 days for my symptoms to go away.
When you try the herb root, which I did, try to find high quality organic roots and try one at a time. This way you will know if you are sensitive or even highly allergic, this can happen. Otherwise, I agree with the digestive and inflammation comments; this is the same thing I have heard EVERY naturopathic doctor and Western World doctor. She is spot on.
Also sounds weird but try belly massage (someone else) I did this along with HSG, ablation, and roots AND prayer (; I have been stage 3 for 10 years and had 2 healthy babies with this combo.
Not for everyone, I am just telling you some things that took me 7 years to find out and 7 years to have my first living baby. (3 miscarriages)
Also, Please, please try not to get upset when your doctor says well at least you can get pregnant. (After a miscarriages) I know you want to slap them, but their right ); if your body will allow the egg to fertilize, you are 40% there.
Keep trying, do not give up.
As far as the pain. I am miserable most days. I would be able to function with my pain medication. (Thank you CDC) for making people in pain out to be criminals! I still work and raise my children and do what I can, but after 3 and 4 we need help, the pain can be unbearable.
If you want to judge and hate go for it. No one knows until they have been there.
I explained it to my husband this way: only a daily basis I feel like someone is pulling my uterus and ovary through my vagina with a crochet needle. My only remaining ovary feels like I am sitting on a soft ball (All damn day) and I can feel it pulsate in agony with every heart beat.
Now, haters could you tolerate this?
And if you’re a man imagine someone pulling your scrotum through your anus and tell me you could get out bed, go to work and still raise productive children.
Am gaining so much weight so quickly because of this Endometriosis. I can’t exercise the way that I need to because of nerve damage. I don’t eat a lot because I get full so quickly after a few bites. I’ve been eating small amounts eating whitening fish with vegetables and sometimes brown rice once a day and am full for the rest of the day, and I only drink water, I can’t even snack ugh.
I am so sorry you are struggling!
My wife have Endometriosis and she gained a lot of weight and she's having surgery this Friday she be and so much pain and she's always depressed and sleep a lot because of the pain she's having it's so sad to watch and it nothing I could do to help her. I hope surgery really helps with her pain and the bloating and weight gain
Monique’s World hi, would she bloat only one her periods on constantly?
How she doing now ?
Please how is she now??
Did the operation help?
I had endometriosis and I had the weight issue and I had surgery for it but my question is there a connection between endometriosis and pituitary gland tumor? I'm asking because I had endometriosis when I was a teenager and had surgery for that and now I have a tumor on my pituitary gland some of the same issues happened with my mom.
Thankyou, I wish this infonwas around when I was 16. Thats when I started getting really bad. Ive had this since 11. So thank you very much. I tried recently shativari in addition to ashwagandha and vitex. Im gonna try the tea. Did not know about thr artificial sweeteners, good thing I avoid them.
You are welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Stage 3 at 33 years old. Diagnosed at 13 years old; surgically. Something to look into... my dad took steroids when I was conceived. During my infant and toddler years my dad put amino acids and whey protein builder powder in my bottles, to make me “strong.” I can’t get out of bed several says a week. I have the horrible digestive Symptoms. Pain is a level 5 or 6 everyday, number 8 on bad days. I still work and have 2 young children, it’s horrible.
How is going now ?
Hope you get the help u deserve God bless you 🙏
Bad days means during your periods because I feel pain every day
Dera doctor I'm suffering from endmetriotic cyst all these issues are mine along with problem of iron deficiency anemia as well as my ferritin levels are very low 2 only can u help me in consultation I'm about 38 years old if u see kindly reply I'll be waiting
Heloo,i am having pains in ny tummy on and off mostly near my periods and even after my periods,i feel pains like the one at start of normal delivery,period pains even after my periods,on pressing my belly it hurts so much it pains especially near and down my navel.
I am having IBS diarrhea,i feel intestinal movements inside,belly cramps during motions,loose motions everytime i eat something,weakness and muscular joint pains,nausea on and off...
Are these signs of endometriosis???
I would like to ask a few questions! I thought that I'd been having cysts all year of 2019. Although i did have 1 cyst, It went away. For 6 months Ive been having more painful issues and finally had my sonogram yesterday which did not show any abnormalities. (I do know that endometriosis is not seen on imaging) I ended up in debilitating pain last night and this morning. I can't take hormones as i am very sensitive in my emotions and wonder if i may have to talk about surgery with my doctor.
Hi Emily! What is your question?
What did you say was good for hormones and reproductive system?
Is that the same as a lesion endomtrium
Can you get lower back pain from endometrial hyperplasia?
I have stage 3 endometriosis and have been trying to get pregnant for 1.5 years and it’s been the hardest time of my life. Struggling with this since I was 17. People don’t believe me until I went to a fertility specialist. It sucks!
Amanda G I'm so sorry. Have you had laparoscopy?
Alejandra A. No we are trying to get pregnant first, that’s my doctors main goal. And I agree I’m 34! Had my first iui 7 days ago! Fingers crossed xo
Amanda G oh man that's so scary! I'm at stage 4 endometriosis and will have laparoscopy in a couple weeks. the pain is just so painful :( i hope I will he able to have children in the future. I wish u the best!!!
Have u tried to get pregnant after your laparoscopy?
I am also stage 3. I had 3 miscarriages before I had a living baby. That said, I have had two successful pregnancies and live births. Ok, now, how did this happen? Well, I had a very smart doctor who figured out we should try a minor procedure prior to conception. It’s called a HSG (Google it) I won’t even try to spell it. It is slightly uncomfortable 😣 because you are awake. Now ... if your tunes are scarred shut you
OB can “blow your tubes open” not sure the technical term, but it removes the blockage of scar tissue, and sometimes an ablation during this same procedure. Now, word of caution:
You will be so tempted to conceive immediately. DO NoT please try to wait one to two cycles. I made the mistake of not wait and I almost lost my son, I had a hemorrhage at 15 weeks. The OB did a scan and said he had a 50/50 shot. I wanted this baby more than anything. This is where you MUST advocate for you and your child!! The doctor said, “ you don’t need bedrest” there is no way to know if it will keep your child alive!!! F^*% that noise! I went on bed rest until no more bleeding. Most companies will even pay you for 8 weeks for pregnancy complications, it’s called STD: Short Term Disability at 80% of your normal wage. I bled ALOT for 7 solid weeks. Then it stopped and I went back to work. My baby survived the 50/50 odds because I was his advocate and I prayed for his little life everyday (; Jesus world miracles. I don’t like what your doctor is doing. A year and a half is too long to wait with Stage 3. Our fertility window is much more precarious and narrow with Endo.
Also most companies will let your doctor sign you out of work at 36 weeks FYI. At the end of your pregnancy rest, feet up, lots of water. Do everything you can to save that precious life. My son was a little bit small but otherwise PERFECT!!! God bless you. Please get a second opinion.
My dr has had me doing conservative treatment for my endometrioma for 3 months. Follow up in 19 days... to find out if I'll need surgery (would be my second). I originally asked him if I could do anything else to help with my endo through diet or other things and he said not really, especially if I wanted to get pregnant in the future.
I don't want to be on the pill and I still haven't found a dr pushing it for treatment/ maintenance
Are you those injections? I tried so many different treatments and surgery was the only relief. Pain killers were waste of time. I have had 5 ops. I have gone vegan and it have helped a lot so far.
Thank you so much for your info its really helpful to know about endometriosis I have endo cyst and nodule I just wanted to ask does it causes constant pelvic pain or every day pain even if I am not in my period dr told me to go birth control pills and iam in waiting list for surgery but I don't want to go for it .anything you would suggest me please
It can cause pelvic pain. My best suggestion would be to get to the root of the issue first. Figuring out the cause can help you address the issue from there rather than masking the symptoms. I like using DUTCH testing for this:
drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
I had a mostly dairy free diet where I didn't eat much red meat either. Dairy was my biggest problem, my body didnt want to process it at all so I knew it had to be cut.
That diet wasn't perfect, but I had maintained a healthier weight that way for years. I had lost so much weight and maintained the weight loss for 7 years before I started a few different birth control methods to help my symptoms.
When I started the depo shot, I tried the shot for two years, and I had so much weight gain and cravings that didn't go away. I was so hungry and irritable and miserable. My diet went to pieces because I craved so much sugary carbs and fatty foods when before I mainly ate fruit, veggies, and chicken. I kept thinking the issues I had would ease off the longer I was on the shot... but they never did.
I had put on 60 pounds in those two years. It was horrifying. My weight had stayed the same for seven years prior to this, give a two pound fluctuation here and there. It was like my life got turned upside down. It wasn't just weight that was the issue, it took a huge toll on my mental state, my skin and hair. My blood pressure would randomly spike and then go back to a normal reading. I was an emotional rollercoaster and knew I couldn't handle it anymore.
Coming off the shot, the pain has been unbearable and every month it just seems to get worse and worse. Especially now that I've been off it for over a year. I also have fibromyalgia so there are days where I really can't move ,and if I do, I limp or have to move so slowly. It holds me back from so much.
I feel like I've had to start all over again because so many miscommunication issues with doctors who don't really seem to take the symptoms seriously. I've been on almost every birth control method available, I just wish there was one that would really work well for my body. The amount of pain I'm in honestly terrifies me because it's something that never fully goes away and just seems to get worse. I don't want to know how much worse this pain could be in the future.
With the severity of some of the symptoms I'm having, I know I need to be seen about surgery, I just wish there was an easier way to manage this. Even when I had/have a healthier diet filled with foods that are natural anti-inflammatories the pain is dehibiliting still
I’m so sorry you are struggling. There are a lot of natural routes you can take to address the root of the issue instead of just addressing the symptoms!
I was unofficially diagnosed with endo. After 4 years of the worst pain that gradually got worse with each period and finally 6 months of bleeding with no help from birth control or anyother pill or shots I had a partial hysterectomy (luckily I had kids early). It's been two years and I have gained 30 or 40 lbs. I have tried so many different things but I can't lose weight to save my life and I am so tired allllll the time. Its so frustrating. I don't know what to do. I feel like crap but all my blood work comes back "great". Please Help???
Hi Kristel! Have you checked out any videos I’ve done recently on having had a hysterectomy? I think you might find that info helpful!
And one more thing,i am having good diet since 4 months and my progress in fat loss is tooooo slow but my belly is like a baloon as i am pregnant..
Is this my belly fat or something else?
Could you also address the other Very I know Adnomyosis. Found out it had it after my hysterectomy.
I will add it to my list!
Do you have any insight into being pregnant with endo? I've been dairy free and gluten free for 2yrs while ttc, but now that I'm pregnant, I'm rethinking the dairy and red meat so I can give my baby what it needs....expect there is fear of cause harm by creating more inflammation. Thoughts?
This is tough. I’d really want to make specific recommendations on a case by case basis after having done a more thorough intake!
So I was just diagnosed with endometriosis about 6 months ago...I am trying to avoid surgery but the pain is getting out of control... I have tried natural hormones and supplements.. yoga.. and yet it is worse! My question is that it seems to have gottten worse as I veered from a paleontologist diet to a vegan/vegetarian diet...the information on diet and endometriosis seems so contradictory... I am at a lost! Should I go back to paleo or stay vegetarian? I have also been on all supplements you mention as well as bone broth!
Thanks for your help!!!!!!
I’d be happy to jump on the phone & chat more about this with you! Send me an email & we can find a time: drbethwestie@gmail.com

I'm going through the same thing and trying to decide should I have surgery or not, I was diagnosed with endometriosis and fibroids
@@DrBethWestie Im 21 with Endo and gained so much weight I went from 130 - 203lbs . I don't want to have to have surgery is there another way I can go about it?
Do you have a video on Adenomyosis?
I loved your video!! Since I was 15 I get my period twice a month for 7-10 days. Sometimes it gets better but that is usually the way it goes. I got treated with pills and as soon as I stopped taking them the problem started again. Until recently I went to another doctor and he thought maybe it was endometriosis or polycistc ovary, and he sent me a lot of tests. In the labs everything appears normal and there is no sign of polycistc ovary or endometriosis, however when I get my period I get extreme pain. I also got high levels of DHEA-SO4 hormone. I can relate to many of the symptoms you mention, but I don't know how to adress the issue without taking hormones or pills that work on the short term
If you send me an email I can try to help steer you in the right direction. Beth@drbethwestie.com
I have the same exact problem.. extremely painful periods and I am down at least 3-4 days at a time. They couldn’t find anything wrong with me but the pain is real
I found this video so helpful! Dumb question- is soy milk bad for my endo?? I replaced my coffees milk with soy but am I doing more harm with the soy than 2%?
Glad you found it helpful! If you can switch to almond milk or coconut milk that's better! Soy is super harmful!
Dr. Beth Westie what about organic soy?
I don't know if I have this but my period is weird. One time my period is barely anything but I still get bloating and a little cramping. Then the next period its hell. Like glass being shoved up. I get sick and tired. I cant even move. I have a lot of blood which got me sh00k because the last one was barely anything!!! Idk anymore. I the pain is so bad sometimes I cry but it feels okay for a while then ZOOM IT HAPPENS AGAIN. Its an off and on thingy. Also it hurts to pee like a urinary and passgas. Gross I know srry. Its kind of sad im only 14. I dontplan on having any kids tho at least not mine cause i have alopecia which is a loss of hair everywhere. I dont have hair lashes or eyebrows. Barely on my body. Soooo i dont want to pass it on to another child since it sucks and is bad.
Mine was like that
Hello did you make a video about the artificial sweeteners?
Yes I did! Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/iTOF9kD4KGY/v-deo.html
I ve been diagnosed with endométriosis but I have no symptoms no pain I'm skinny I do lose a lot of blood during the second day of my period Wonder if it's really what I'm suffering from
hi there! I’m happy to jump on the phone to offer some suggestions! Here’s a link to my calendar:

Dr. Beth Westie thanks a lot but I live in Algeria (noth africa), we don't have a lot of specialists in that field, I did an ultrasound scan 5months ago she found bilateral ovarian cysts (one in each 4cm and 5)I took contraceptive pills for 3months and they are still there with the same diameter she told me the cysts appear thick in consistency so it should be endometriosis
My Endo attached to my diaphragm and right lung . Catamenial pneumothorax... I was having a collapsed lung every single month when my period started !!! I ended up having a VATS procedure and removal of my ovaries!!! This has been an incredible trial !!
Wow! I am so sorry to hear that. That is SO tough!
Sorry about that.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you are well. I had umbilical endometriosis and Lord was that painful.
Wow!
my dr. gave me visanne, a hormonal pills. my ovaries were normal aftr taking it for 3 months yet i still have this diagnosis of adenomyoma with adenomyosis... i am still having bleeding even if im in pills, do u think the adenomyosis cause the bleeding or some other cause?
Best to talk to you doctor about this!
Deos the woman die of that disease??
What about camomile tea?
What about Serrapeptase? I heard it's great but i haven't tried it.
It is said to help reduce inflammation & help with pain. It's always best to speak with your doctor before adding anything in.
Dr. Beth Westie ok thanks! I've heard that women with endo swear by it.
Am I the only one that has the worst mood problems. I am trying. I'm 36 and never been to rhis point. Crying and angry..ugh

This is definitely what I'm dealing with don't even like going out in public moods are so bad
How do you deal with your moods?
I have endometriosis and I've been trying to lose some weight and it was too hard....
I've been taking vissane for almost 4 yrs now. Is it the reason why I don't lose weight?
It’s hard to say, but it could be playing a part.
@@DrBethWestie can we still lose stomach weight even if we’re on medication for endometriosis?
I had severe pain for 4 years . And my family doctor could not find anything. So I told him I wanted to see a female doctor for ladies. And she did a whole bunch of tests ,then a exploratory surgery. Still nothing then she did a historectamy. And then she found the endometriosis.
Oh and I closed 10 pounds 2 weeks after the surgery.
Is real sugar or artificial sweeteners worse for the inflammation?
Artificial sweeteners are always going to be worse for inflammation and gut health.
What if endo was found and removed but not staged, and you still have problems when your cycle comes on?
There can be a list of reasons why you are still having issues with your cycle. I would need more information to help you navigate it.
@@DrBethWestie I've had pain since I first started my cycle it was so bad i couldn't get out of the bed. I've had a list of surgery's.Two C-sections, Two emblazons, a tubal, my spin from the neck down to my hip bone was messed up but no surgery on that from a accident in 2016. I also have cist that was removed when the endo was removed in may of this year but the cist came back last month i wonder if that have anything to do with the pain.
I haven’t been on my period for 7months , I don’t know what to do.. what natural remedies I could do to bring my period back..
Have you tried naturally regulating her hormone cycle? You can balance hormones through nutrition, that's what I specialize in. If you haven't read my book The Female Fat Solution that would be the best place to start!
Dr Beth, I hear cultured soy such as Tempeh is ok - what are your thoughts on that?
Marcie Barden great question! The protein molecule is slightly smaller, so your body could tolerate small amounts. But I would definitely not recommend as a main source of protein!
Thank you
Dr, Can peanut butter be consumed?
Would having your period multiple times in a month also be a symptom of endometriosis? Or frequently having to go to the bathroom?
Irregular periods are a sign of endometriosis. But it usually comes along with pain as well.
Could be more of a sign of pcos or if you have it multiple times then don't have it at all for a while
i have this but i struggle to gain weight
Hi, thanks a lot for your video. I have a question please: are oats good or bad for endometriosis? also are falx seeds good or bad for this condition.. I heard contradicting opinions about flax seeds. Thank you
Hi ! I go through suggestions for what to avoid & what to add in, in my endometriosis course! www.drbethwestie.com/programs
I was on a diet that was low carb low sugar high protein and I seemed to have my greatest results would u say that would be best?
I don't ever recommend low carb for women as it actually causes more hormone imbalances. So especially with endometriosis you want to avoid this. If you have questions specifically for you I'm happy to jump on the phone & chat. Here's a link to my calendar: calendly.com/drbethwestie/free-consultation
Where do I get this ashwaganda? is it a pill?
You can get it in pill or powder form.
It's a miraculous Indian herb.. It promotes good health.. A healthy heart and good for reproductive organs. You can find it at Planet Ayurveda. They have a global presence. Thnx. Love from India.
Im about to have a hysterectomy and they r trying to save my left ovary. It's all over bowel which is wrapped around reproductive organs, pushing up, lovely, the reproductive organs are wrapped and stuck, It has to b surgery I hv an endo specialist. Im implementing so many diet changed I drink the hv tea cut out wheat, gluten,dairy eating the endo way as much as poss and other anti inflammatory herbs like turmeric etc....im still bloated like 9 months pregnant bloated, I hv skinny legs arms then this distended stomach.
I am so sorry to hear that Rachael. That is really tough. It sounds like your doctor is taking the necessarily steps to help relieve some of this.
Dr. Beth Westie, yes it's tough, do you think once I'm through the operation and recover I might benefit from your diet programme? Is it geared towards endometriosis too? Is there a way which it wont cost hundreds to do this? What is a fat bomb? Lastly, lol, so many questions, what are the right ratios, I'm getting carbs fiber protein, they are in equal amount but way more veg then the other two groups, not starchy, kale amd spinich etc.. but then I feel starving and wanna eat everything in sight. Fats crisps, chocolate, l have a constant period atm and constant pms which does not help. I am doing well with will power but what got me is my body suddenly gained 12 pounds I found this out at pre op so have been fixated on diet since. I cant believe I'm not a healthy bmi anymore, I changed nothing. Just pain meds and omeprozole to stop bleeding from pain drugs, dihydrocodeine.
Rachael Hutchings after you go through surgery and recovery, contact me and we can jump on the phone to see what might work for you.
Dr. Beth Westie Thankyou you have given me some hope I can get my body back, lose the "endo baby" it's such a stinger when asked if I'm pregnant when I know I'll never hv children. I'll be in touch, I'll need to be recovering for a bit so in the future ☺
Rachael Hutchings Julio’s your surgery went well . Can you please let me know if you were bloated consistently or just before and while on your period. Did the bloating go away with the surgery?
I have never known that Julianne Hough has been going through endometriosis. She seemed charming while she was still the judge in dancing with the starts. This is so touching. She is such a strong woman. Even coming out with the problem that she has been undergoing. What I really learnt from the journey and some tips from Bio tex clinic. Is concentrating with lifestyle changes as you also do medication. Some tips that might be helpful include getting eight to nine hours of sleep each night. Taking naps if needed. Meditating. Eating healthy meals three times per day and nutritious snacks throughout the day. Continuing with enjoyable activities and staying in touch with friends and family. It’s also important to maintain a routine and keep up with work. Light exercise like yoga is also helpful to fight pain and some women find a hot water bottle or hot bath useful. The center also recommends women learn when and when not to push themselves. Plan ahead for unexpected pain exacerbations and talk to a counselor about their symptoms.
These are all really great tips!
I had endometriosis surgery in November 2018 am 26year old I am trying for baby from 3 months pls suggest some diat
Sorry if my question sounds stupid.. but I probably need an operation as well to remove a 6 cm cyst.. When you had your operation did they “remove” your endometrioses? Or how does it work... did you have bloating issues? And how did it go after the operation, are you endometriosis free now? Any changes?
How about bromelain?? Can that help me?
It can help reduce inflammation & help with digestion, which could help with pain and improve digestion. But it's always best to speak with your doctor before adding anything in!
It does help! Particularly as it is anti - inflammatory. Go for organic pineapples or their juice. It truly helps.
Do you grind the fennel and coriander?
I just steep the seeds!
Thanks so much!

It's best to talk to your doctor about your specific situation to determine if the type of exercise you want to do is recommended or not.
I have endometriosis and i dont have cycles every month and i have taken birth control to bring it back which for about nine years made my cycle come and not leave for months on end then it stoped coming every month again is that normal? Cause my doc thinks birthcontrol can fix anything. Oh and i would bleed all month long even without birthcontrol after he gave me something to bring it back.
No this is definitely not normal.

What about flaxseed?
What is your question on flaxseed?
Dr. Beth Westie I have heard flaxseed is bad for endometriosis. That’s why I ask the question.
Most studies show flaxseed can help lower inflammation which would be beneficial for those with endometriosis.
@@shan4145 I highly recommend that you avoid it. It caused me agony and many others with endo. If you look it up. I think it is estrogenic.
