- Hey everyone! I hope you’re having a flare-free day. In todays video, I wanted to talk about the common things and activities in our day-to-day lives that can sometimes trigger an endometriosis flare-up. From stress to tight clothing, I dive into the common items and actions that have led to endo flares for me! Id love to hear what triggers your endometriosis flares in the comments down below!
I also touch upon natural ways I help to manage my endometriosis flare-ups / pain and what I include in my endometriosis toolkit to help me in the moment (for both an at-home flare and a flare that happens while away from the comfort of my home).

I just cried after I finally confirmed from your videos and listening to other women sharing their stories on different platforms what has been troubling me for 15 years. I suspected endo but ruled it out a bit since my periods were pretty regular and 'normal' except for lower backache and sciatica nerve pain radiating to the right leg and sometimes numbness on my legs to the point of falling down if standing and not being able to walk for hours when it got worse. I felt like not even the Doctor's understood what I was going through. So thank you for sharing your story ❤, very helpful.
Long walks, too much sitting or standing, steep hikes, intense work outs like spin class are triggers for me.
Stretching, constant moderate exercises such as short regular walks and resting really helps.
Interesting about the foods triggers, I will definitely evaluate this.
❤❤❤
Did anyone else doubt themselves before diagnosis? I'm finding you on my research journey about endometriosis. I've been reading a lot and watching videos trying to figure out why my periods seem to be getting worse including debilitating cramps throwing up and severe digestive issues that keep me from working. But I keep doubting myself, thinking it's something I'm doing, or because the cramps don't happen every single month that it must be just normal. I have an appointment soon with a gyno soon thank goodness.
I get it. For me it's been difficult because i live with other chronic illnesses and there's some overlap in the symptoms, so some days I start doubting. And there's time when I'll go a really long time without feeling a lot of pain and I start to wonder if it's really bad enough to be concerned. Fortunately my PCP is very empathetic and mentioned in the past that I might have endo. But I don't really know what else I can do at this point
Hi! New sub here! I'm 44 and recently diagnosed with Endo Dec of last year. (Sound crazy) After I had a tarot reading, my spirit baby told me to go to the Dr. and get this looked at after putting off the pain for a year. I had surgery for it and it's been better but I can still feel it growing and reforming again. Trying to get pregnant later in life helped me find it and my fertility I feel is coming back after the laparoscopy. I'll especially enjoy watching these vids and can't wait to really dive in . I'd love to share my story with anyone who's been diagnosed so much later in life with it, and what we've been through. Much love to all!
I cut out gluten several years ago to help with another condition i had and last year i stopped eating nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers). Recently i went a little cray cray and ate a bunch of those foods, thinking, "surely it won't make THAT much of a difference," and not only did my other conditions flare up, but i had notably bad abdominal/pelvic pain at a time of the month that i NEVER have pain, as well as terrible bloating and fatigue. So that was an unpleasant surprise. Apparently eating gluten and Nightshade free (especially potatoes, they seem to affect me the most) really is making a difference.
Definitely running and HIIT 90% of the time😢😢 and it sucks! I used to be an athlete and it is so hard knowing that I can’t do any of those intense workouts I used to love😔but I relate to all of these sadly
Thank you for sharing❤ I would relate to all the things you mentioned. Any type of movement that involves bending/stretching - so housework, gardening etc. Can really flare me up.
I always think it's important to say that sometimes there's no reason for a flare and it can just come out of nowhere 😢
Thank you so much for sharing this. It is just nice to know that we aren't alone! I agree with all the things you listed, I would say all of these things also affect my flare-ups. I have an flare-up kit with me also at all times, since we never know when it could hit.
I use heat, herbs, cbd oil, ice packs, peppermint oil etc... for pain relief.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thank u for sharing. This is very helpful ❤
I have Endo flair ups
I was just formally diagnosed 3 weeks ago (after 17 years!). So far I've only noticed is bending over too much causes a flare up. Now that I know this is what that pain is I'm trying to be more aware of what could be triggers. Now bloating, that's an almost everyday thing. So, no jeans for me!
Congrats on your diagnosis 🤍 Thinking if you during the healing process!
@@endoemmm Thanks. That means a lot 💙
Right now I'm in a weird state of accepting. Mainly because, I knew I had endo, but it seemed like I couldn't get doctors to hear me or at least fully. It was a constant, 'that's a possibility so here's birth control or let's change your birth control to never come off if it' Finally getting surgery all I could think is, 'This whole time! I knew it.'
How are you doing ? Hope you are fine and god is with you don’t and will get you through it. Please stay strong always ❤️
The only thing I've noticed that causes my flare-ups are my periods. I need to keep a closer eye on whether the exercise I do makes my symptoms better or worse.
The little girl inside me is so glad I found your channel 💙 🤍
