i was diagnosed with endo 4 that spread to the lungs and intestines and lived with it for 20 years because i believed that there is no hope and nothing can be done.I am 4th-year endo, pain, bloating and cramps-free.

I was diagnosed with endo 4 as well. Getting my tennis ball size growths removed, one on both ovaries this week. Was told to go on the medicine that puts you into menopause but I am hoping for children being almost 30. I will try these diet changes after surgery. If you would be willing to share your experience with surgery if you had it I would appreciate it. Were they able to tell it spread via MRI or did they find out in surgery?
I incorporated most of these changes into my diet. Month 3 now and the chamge has been phenomenal! No pains AT ALL during my period, periods are lighter now and bout 1-2 days shorter. I stopped eating dairy, gluten, alcohol, processed foods, coffee, sugar and simple carbs. I started having more veggies (especially cruciferous vegetables), decaf coffee and diary free products. Insane!!!

Bless you for this video! I was just diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis today after my surgery. Everything went well and amazingly all of my reproductive organs are very healthy still! I would have never guessed endo was the cause of all my pain and having trouble getting pregnant. I’m just relieved to know now. And I plan on drastically changing my diet; thank you for all these tips. They help so much and I will be using all of them lol! I really don’t want to go through so much pain again and I want to do what I can on my end to make it easier for me to conceive. It’s so crazy how food can change so many things! Didn’t mean to rant, but thanks again!! 🤗
It sounds like you got the news I did at the exact same time. My surgery is this week to remove two tennis ball size growths one on both ovaries. Would you mind telling me how your surgery went and recovery? I too was trying to get pregnant for the past year and was unsuccessful. Praying my tubes and some of my ovaries are good after surgery
@@BC-gu8vs firstly I’m sorry to hear that and I pray everything goes really well with your surgery! The surgery process wasn’t bad at all, it feels like a 20 min nap. They just get your IV in and get the anesthesia working and you’re out lol. It feels really quick, but I believe by surgery took like 2 hours. I had a really big cyst on my right ovary and a LOT of tissue scarring everywhere. They had trouble finding my uterus because of all the scarring that was covering it up 😩 But they were able to remove everything! And the recovery for me personally was really quick too. I was just sore and stayed in bed for the first week. I had a bit of spotting for a few days but that’s normal. The second week I was up and walking around the house. I could clean up a bit and cook, but I didn’t do too much and made sure i wasn’t lifting or pushing anything heavy. The third week I was back to normal. Are you having a laparoscopic surgery? That’s what I had.
@@talenabell498 thank you so much for taking the time to reply and sharing with me. I’m sorry for what you’ve gone through as well, you’re a warrior 💕 my surgeon is a specialists who does cancer patients and endo and his specialty is doing the robotic surgery which I think might be the same thing but I’m not sure? He seems confident he can clean things up but my gyno was giving me mixed messages and saying he doesn’t think robotics will be successful and they will have to open me up. So I have one side confident (which surgeons seem to be in general) and then the other side of hesitation because the gyno says the MRI won’t show all the adhesions. So I don’t know how bad it will be when they get in but the recovery process doesn’t sound bad so that’s great. The recovery probably can’t feel worse than I do now lol I get severe flu symptoms every period. Body aches, headaches, fevers/sweats with the lower abdominal pain with heavy bleeding of course. So ready to change my life I’ve already started a different diet as well.
@@BC-gu8vs of course, I’m glad to share. And you’re a warrior too love! 🤗 and yes the surgeries are about the same. When they do the robotic ones they only do a few small incisions so you will heal pretty quickly. My gyno didn’t realize how bad mine endo was either until they actually seen everything during the surgery. So even though mine was bad they were still able to clean everything out successfully. It can be the same with you! Anything is possible, just stay positive about it 💜. What’s crazy is that I didn’t really have severe symptoms like yours before. I only had the really bad cramps and the heavy flow. The only reason I finally figured out it was endo was when I randomly got really sick in September and was rushed to the ER. So if that never happened idk how long I’d be walking around not having a clue of what’s going on with my body. It’s INSANE what women go though!
Strange it all depends on what sources you choose to follow, because there are many sources that talk about caffeine actually helping with inflammation and our memory etc.
I have done all of this for over a decade. It does not help with endometriosis. I am sitting here right now with killer period cramps. I lead the healthiest lifestyle. I have tried everything.
Sorry to hear of your suffering...I'm sorry this didn't work for you but it is helping many women manage their endo symptoms more naturally. Diet is never the whole picture but certainly plays a part :)
Did you think about operation? If the endometriosis got to far no diet helps. You can apply everything you did until now after operation and see how you feel.
Coma açafrão crú. Corte aproximadamente 3 cm e mastigue tomando água. Na TPM já começa a comer todos os dias, até passar a menstruação e depois também. Enquanto estiver com dor coma açafrão.
Thank you, this has been very helpful. My only problem with committing fully to the Endo diet is the amount of work that needs to be done in the kitchen. I have a full-time job, and barely have time for the gym, buy groceries, not to mention meet friends. So slaving in the kitchen for each meal or snack is just not an option. I feel like we live in times that are structured to make us ill. Why shouldn't there be healthy options that can be taken on the go? It's so frustrating and discouraging... Nevertheless, I'll try to incorporate most of the tips you've suggested in this video ❤
I miss coffee soooo much! She is right tho... cutting out coffee helped. I dont have any caffeine. I drink water with (low or no sugar) electrolytes mix.
Thanks for sharing! Your last video on natural treatments for endometriosis was very helpful. I’m just starting out in changing my diet and not exactly sure what I’m doing 😅
I was just diagnosed with endo recently! I am doing some research and your videos are great and so helpful. I’m definitely going to try some of these tips
yeah good point, not everyone may have access to what I've mentioned but my advice would be to keep it simple! fruit and vegetables as the bulk of your diet then nuts, seeds, lean proteins, wholegrains like brown rice. Don't need to make fancy meals, often the simple ones are the best :)
Helpful video, thanks. Ties in with everything I’ve been doing and I totally agree that high sugar content and processed food is an absolute no-no. I’m also a huge advocate of veg, pulses and other foods with anti-inflammatory properties. Only challenge is to find a holistic alternative to tranexamic acid as it’s understood to be associated with increased risk of a CVA / TIA
Hi Becky, I love your videos. I have PCOS and trying to follow a low carb diet. The biggest challenge I face is that I am allergic to soy and I am a vegetarian. Could you please make a video on what foods as a vegetarian I can consume so that I can reverse PCOS.
I have stage 4 endometriosis and lately it’s been a lot worse. I hate saying this, but everything I eat, hurts. I don’t eat much anymore because I’m so scared that it will cause pain. The one thing I have multiple times a day is black coffee.I think I am going to cut it out and see how that goes! Thank you so much for this video!
I only fear food when I’m menstruating. I’ll eat soup or light salads, things that are easy to process. Didn’t know that caffeine had such an affect throughout the cycle. I can’t drink it at that time of the month. What a bummer! I’ve already cut out dairy tho so I guess what’s another one of life’s pleasures 🤷🏻♀️
@@chrissy0072I am also a bit sad even though I do love drinking tea, I think I will miss coffee and will incorporate it every now and then. Cutting out dairy wasn‘t difficult for me personally, I did found delicious plant milks and cheeses which I enjoy occasionally, I actually even don‘t enjoy the taste of cow‘s milk anymore 😅
My doctor at my post op a week and a half ago tried to prescribe pills, I am so glad I just found this girl on UA-cam . I decided the pills weren’t right for me . Thank god for this .
I absolutely LOVE your content. Would love to see you have your own podcast, or at least have a conversation with someone in the women's health space. I'd listen to that conversation. Thanks so much for sharing this x
Australia literally does not have wild caught salmon. I’ve also looked into this. All Aussie salmon is farmed. However I have heard Alaskan sockeye is the way to go. Again I don’t know how to source it. But that’s all I got 😅 great video. Loved the nutrition tips❤
Hi Becky, I was diagnosed endomitriosis 3 years ago. At first I was ao scared about it, I went to the OB for check up and she recommended me to take a pills but because I' m afraid of yhe side effect may bring to my body I just stop taking it. Instead I am drinking turmeric with ginger every night and the pain was gone...until now I'm taking it and love the result..but I still have bloating...is live lactobacillus good for endo patient?.thanks, Mighty
Hey mighty, lactobacillus species aren't bad, they have purpose and function in our gut but you want to be careful with supplementing specific probiotics if there's already gut issues as it could further fead over growths of certain bacteria in the gut. I recommend finding a natural health care practitioner to get to the bottom of gut issues as they can be complex! All the best
Hi Becky! I have recently over gone a complete dietary makeover. I have Endometriosis, fibroids, and “PCOS”. Can you tell me where to find or how to identify a probiotic Sauerkraut? Your information in this video is literally the best. Thank you
if it's not in the fridge and pasteurized it most likely has all the good bacteria killed. Making your own is super easy but takes some time to prep. Otherwise make sure non-pasteurized but it will cost you 11-20$ for a small jar. Pickling food is way cheaper and easier and you know your probiotic source is 100% legit since you made it.
Hey also sugar because natural sugar in fruits and at the most honey still have some good quality sugars that our body needs but sugar is very bad for us. I have noticed that each time I eat sugar I will experience pains so I have stopped and also checking all labels now to ensure there is no added sugar. I think sugar and milk and caffein are pretty much no go. So yes definitely a lot to consider here but it will help in long run no doubt. I don’t think it’s a diet I think it should be more or less lifestyle. You will get used to it and will no any different. Thank you for this 🙏
Hi Becky, I haven’t been diagnosed with endometriosis but I have very bad pain with my period. My mother had endometriosis and I’m pretty sure I do as well. I have started incorporating some of these tips already but it hasn’t been long enough yet. I just found a source of good healthy raw dairy milk and was so excited about it… do you think even raw milk is bad?
No milk. It's baby cow growth food, made to grow a 70 pound calf into a 600 cow. Those growth hormones will grow things other than a baby cow, namely your uterine lining.
Don’t take raw milk unless you want tuberculosis. Milk has to be pasteurized. I have severe endo and I can’t have milk unless it’s dairy free. As far as finding out if you have endo, find out sooner than later. I have been waiting for twenty years for someone to listen. I have that now but the robot is booked and tissue is literally coming out of my body every time I go to the bathroom. I have had blood transfusions from bleeding to death as a kid. No one believed me. I have iron infusions now. I can’t wait for surgery but I won’t know if it will help. I have injuries, fibro, arthritis. But I pray it does help and my life is greatly changed for the better. The pain travels throughout but is acute on the left side abdomen back leg and foot. No part of my body isn’t in excruciating pain though. I tried orlissa, made pain in abdomen better but pain in legs worse. I also use a walker on my worst days but it’s hard bc I have arm and hand issues now as well. I’m only 36.
Thank you for this! Fortunately, I was already doing most of these, being almost plant based these last few years, but DAMN you just had to say the coffee part, that is going to be hard to eliminate!
Your videos are great, please continue. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 10 years ago. Although I had 2 surgeries, I am struggling with end-stage intestinal nodules and infertility. Now, I have pain at unexpected moments other than my period. Despite in vitro fertilization treatment for 2 years, I could not get pregnant. I decided to pay more attention to nutrition and exercise. One thing that confuses me is cutting out dairy. However, yoghurt and kefir are healthy in terms of prebiotics. Should we continue to use them? I tried to make almond milk and yoghurt, the milk was ok but yoghurt did not work. What do you think about this? I'm glad I came across you, thank you.
What do you think on soy (tofu etc) and estrogen levels? There is so much controversy and I don’t understand wether or not to still consume soy. I was diagnosed with endo with severe cysts and I don’t want to make it worse ... I would really appreciate the info!
If it were me, I would avoid soy. Most of the time it's heavily processed. You can't die of a soy deficiency so if you're ever confused about it just avoid it ;)
Hi, I was recently diagnose with Endometriosis. I kept getting the pain for years, it's so excruciating, thought was appendicitis or something else. Difficulty passing water and doing the mumber 2, I feel cork like I can't even pass gas, menstruation cramps 😢😢😢sometimes vomiting and nausea also it feels like my bones and joints are on fire sometimes. After doing numerous ultrasounds and still nothing was seen....I saw my Gynecologist then she confirmed it. I am not sure what I can eat Like oats, corn flour etc. It's really frightening !!!!
Hi Becky, thank you for your video. You mentioned that you soak your legumes and beans in hot water with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. I soak mine in water but was just wondering what does the apple cider vinegar do? Thanks.
Hi Becky! I have been keto for almost 2 years and I can not imagine living any other way. However, I have decided I am going to go vegan keto because I have had such bad pain recently that I can not even stand up straight. I was wondering what you think of vegan keto for endo?
Hi, I found your video when I search. Thank you so much! I just want to ask about having decaffeinated black tea? is it ok? Also, is there an alternative for cheese and yogurt because I love them :(
I'm not sure if I have endometriosis but I have extremely painful periods.. like excruciating pain. I was wondering how long you need to eat an anti-inflammatory diet to see results? Like if I started two weeks before my period would it be beneficial or pointless? Does it need to be all the time?
hii isablle, how is it going so far? What have you tried out and what were the results? I had the worst period cramps and heavy bleeding. Only after cutting out carbs (pasta , rice bread, potatoes..) as well as sugar and diary , not only i lost some pounds (i think too much weight automatically means too much estrogen9 also i must have lost the estrogen. And had some cycles without heavy bleeding and without pain. Then i started eating curd cheese, everything went well. After a bad time i craved for apples and ate loads of them, i think this started in August and now 4 months later i´ve had the worst period cramps again. So sugar and carbs, starches as well because these are all the same..but maybe diary too, cause problems. And now i try my best to go without it again. If we only had no cravings. Hope to hear from you if you had the nerv to tr somthing out and what the outcome was. All th best ;)
Hey Anna, that is a burkey water filter. I've had it for about a year and really love it! It doesn't mineralise the water like some brands but it certainly gets rid of all the junk in our town water :)
Hi Becky, I suspect that I either have endo, adeno or adhesions from my 2 sections. Anyways, I am getting rid of coffee and dairy. I have subsituted coffee with a hot drink mixed with cacao powder, almond milk, vanilla bean paste and rapadura sugar. Is this concoction ok for someone with those issues I listed? Thank you for your channel and information. I really appreciate it.
Hi Becky, I tried coconut yogurt becauseI'm trying to cut down on dairy as much as possible. I liked it. It is a lot higher in fat than my normal geek yogurt one (that includes dairy) so I freaked out. Is it healthy fat in it like the fat you find in avocado for example?
Coconut yoghurt is a healthy fat and healthy fats are absolutely essential to have in our diet. Much much better for you than these low calorie/dairy packed yoghurts
Hi, Becky. After max 3 hours past morning, if I don't drink a cup of coffee as I wake up, I start throwing up and I tried to get past that critical point and got to day 3, at which point I was litterally blinded by migrane and couldn't eat from throwing up every other hour. And I gave up and drank a small cup of coffee but this way it realky isn't worth it. Do you have any tips on how to stop drinking coffee?
Hey there! If you're really that reliant on it you can try making sure you have food in your stomach before having coffee or pairing your coffee with a fat and protein source (i will sometimes stir grass fed ghee and collagen through mine - makes it more creamy and doesn't affect taste). This will help the coffee be released more slowly and cause less of a stress response in the body. Form there you can start reducing the amount of coffee slowly (i.e 1/2 strength for a few weeks, then 1/4 strength for a few weeks, then decaff). Sounds like some liver support is needed to so might be best to find a natural health care practitioner in your area to support you.
I recently quit coffee and the only way I could do it was to do it very slowly. I started buying decaf and using half the amount of decaf and mix it with the normal coffee for 1 week and then slowly use less and less real coffee and after 3 weeks I only drank decaf and now I don’t need any coffee anymore. It was hard at the beginning but it’s worth it.
Hi Becky! Is chicory coffee also inflammatory? I like drinking one coffee in the morning but if this creates more inflammation in my body and make endometriosis come back than I can change my habits. ❤
great video, I think it was missing omega supplements. A few years ago, I started taking them and my period pain was reduced significantly. In addition, gluten free is also very effective, however, it was really hard to avoid, bread and pasta is everywhere, I do consume a few times a month, I guess that's why my pain is still there. I will try the recommendations in your video and get back to you, thanks ❤
I was diagnosed with Endo 13 year ago and on the pill since then. I have decided to get off the pill at the end of 2022 and I am treating myself with several supplements including the ones you mentioned in one of your videos. What are your thoughts on soya? I feel it helps me a lot but the research seems to be controversial.
I don't personally recommend soy just because it can go either way for woman and like you said the research is a little inconclusive. Plus most soy products are GMO so if you do consume it make sure its organic! That's great it's working for you though
@@beckyjane_lucas a few weeks after stopping the birth control pill, my Endo started giving symptoms again like mild cramps at my lower belly and rectum but the most significant is the IBS. Constant belly bloating. As I cut most of the soy (only left the milk), the cramps at my lower belly and rectum disappeared making me think that maybe soy is not as good for Endro patients. The bloating remained and also the lower back pain which make me think that Endo is causing a general inflammatory status in the area of my pelvis that I am trying to treat with food and supplements.
someone told me that intermittent fasting is beneficial for endometriosis, have you heard this? what are your thoughts? don't wanna starve myself if i don't have to.
@@beckyjane_lucas Becky, intermittent fasting does not starve yourself .. it is very good to reduce your insulin level .. thus decreasing your inflammation .. I recommend it strongly
@@beckyjane_lucas thank you for everything. I am chiming in on the starving thing. I agree. When I eat less meals, narrow to say one and a snack, my pain is far worse. Even if spreading out small quantities through the day, it is far better. These times will be hard though for us. The supply chain is getting difficult.
If your adrenals are already taxed, intermittent fasting can increase your stress and further tax your adrenals. Only you know if you can handle that at this time in your life.
I started taking the medication I bought from Dr igho channel on UA-cam and surprisingly it was working gradually and in 9days everything stopped. I am really happy that you helped me cure Endometriosis Completely and I pray that God strengthen you Dr Igho!
Amazing thank you, I'm defo gna try the butter chicken (I love it but haven't had it for years being DF & GF) also that hot chocolate at the end sounds delish!
Do you know how much hydrogenated fat it takes for endo to regrow? I had my endo removed a month ago and last week I had a couple of really deep fried takeaways abs I’ve had pain ever since (corresponded with TOM but has persisted). Going to try anti inflammatory now. Are there still benefits if I REDUCE but don’t cut out dairy and gluten? Or does it have to be an everything goes scenario?
Hi Laura, vitamin E can help mitigate some of the inflammatory damage caused by fried foods, but ultimately best to limit or avoid next time if it triggers pain. I think cutting down would be a great place to start, especially because it can be overwhelming to suddenly go cold turkey. Mainly focus on cutting out the processed sources of gluten and dairy, and stick to whole food sources. All the best!
Thank you for the video! Can you list some of the sources you used? (Especially the one about cutting out dairy, you're saying a lot of normal doctors are starting to recommend this but I've never heard of it, where did you hear about this?) Thanks :)

yeah good point, not everyone may have access to what I've mentioned but my advice would be to keep it simple! fruit and vegetables as the bulk of your diet then nuts, seeds, lean proteins, wholegrains like brown rice. Don't need to make fancy meals, often the simple ones are the best :)
Helpful video, thanks. Ties in with everything I’ve been doing and I totally agree that high sugar content and processed food is an absolute no-no.
I’m also a huge advocate of veg, pulses and other foods with anti-inflammatory properties. Only challenge is to find a holistic alternative to tranexamic acid as it’s understood to be associated with increased risk of a CVA / TIA
Does it all have to be organic
Do you think we should avoid histamine high foods as well? I’m currently reducing gluten and it helps.
Hi Becky, I love your videos. I have PCOS and trying to follow a low carb diet. The biggest challenge I face is that I am allergic to soy and I am a vegetarian. Could you please make a video on what foods as a vegetarian I can consume so that I can reverse PCOS.
soy is all around bad for you.
Thanks for this, just been diagnosed with endo and excited to start making some dietary changes xx
You got this!
I have stage 4 endometriosis and lately it’s been a lot worse. I hate saying this, but everything I eat, hurts. I don’t eat much anymore because I’m so scared that it will cause pain.
The one thing I have multiple times a day is black coffee.I think I am going to cut it out and see how that goes!
Thank you so much for this video!
Cutting out coffee helped
me, even cutting out decaf. Also you're not alone, ive also developed a fear of eating because of the pain.
What is stage 4 endo?
@@6.00ammmmm the worst stage of endometriosis where organs start getting stuck together with adhesions ect ...
I only fear food when I’m menstruating. I’ll eat soup or light salads, things that are easy to process. Didn’t know that caffeine had such an affect throughout the cycle. I can’t drink it at that time of the month. What a bummer! I’ve already cut out dairy tho so I guess what’s another one of life’s pleasures 🤷🏻♀️
@@chrissy0072I am also a bit sad even though I do love drinking tea, I think I will miss coffee and will incorporate it every now and then. Cutting out dairy wasn‘t difficult for me personally, I did found delicious plant milks and cheeses which I enjoy occasionally, I actually even don‘t enjoy the taste of cow‘s milk anymore 😅
Thank you so much for this video! Doctors never mention diet and just try to hand me the pill, I'm convinced it can be healed by what we consume
My doctor at my post op a week and a half ago tried to prescribe pills, I am so glad I just found this girl on UA-cam . I decided the pills weren’t right for me . Thank god for this .
Thank you so much for this video! It has helped me learn so much ❤️
Camping this weekend. Can’t wait to try that hot chocolate recipe!!! Great advice here. Thank you!
The best detailed Endo video. Thank you
Super clear and simple yet complete explanation, thank you! Does yerba mate also get into the "forbidden list"?
Is there nowhere on the GC that sells fresh local caught fish?! Wow! that seems crazy to me 😯
Thank you!! I’d love to hear about how to manage fatigue with endometriosis
I absolutely LOVE your content. Would love to see you have your own podcast, or at least have a conversation with someone in the women's health space. I'd listen to that conversation. Thanks so much for sharing this x
Australia literally does not have wild caught salmon. I’ve also looked into this. All Aussie salmon is farmed. However I have heard Alaskan sockeye is the way to go. Again I don’t know how to source it. But that’s all I got 😅 great video. Loved the nutrition tips❤
I tried to access your switch & ditch pdf but it didn’t work - do you have an updated link so I could access it please? 😀 x
Hi Becky, I was diagnosed endomitriosis 3 years ago. At first I was ao scared about it, I went to the OB for check up and she recommended me to take a pills but because I' m afraid of yhe side effect may bring to my body I just stop taking it. Instead I am drinking turmeric with ginger every night and the pain was gone...until now I'm taking it and love the result..but I still have bloating...is live lactobacillus good for endo patient?.thanks, Mighty
Hey mighty, lactobacillus species aren't bad, they have purpose and function in our gut but you want to be careful with supplementing specific probiotics if there's already gut issues as it could further fead over growths of certain bacteria in the gut. I recommend finding a natural health care practitioner to get to the bottom of gut issues as they can be complex! All the best
Hi Becky! I have recently over gone a complete dietary makeover. I have Endometriosis, fibroids, and “PCOS”. Can you tell me where to find or how to identify a probiotic Sauerkraut?
Your information in this video is literally the best. Thank you
if it's not in the fridge and pasteurized it most likely has all the good bacteria killed. Making your own is super easy but takes some time to prep. Otherwise make sure non-pasteurized but it will cost you 11-20$ for a small jar. Pickling food is way cheaper and easier and you know your probiotic source is 100% legit since you made it.
@@nszczesny6123 ok awesome. I love pickled veggies but I never thought to research my probiotic source. Thank you.
Bubbies sauerkraut is the best. And their dill pickles
How you doing?? Did you ever experience hairloss .. what's diet you doing
Hey also sugar because natural sugar in fruits and at the most honey still have some good quality sugars that our body needs but sugar is very bad for us. I have noticed that each time I eat sugar I will experience pains so I have stopped and also checking all labels now to ensure there is no added sugar. I think sugar and milk and caffein are pretty much no go. So yes definitely a lot to consider here but it will help in long run no doubt. I don’t think it’s a diet I think it should be more or less lifestyle. You will get used to it and will no any different. Thank you for this 🙏
Hi Becky, I haven’t been diagnosed with endometriosis but I have very bad pain with my period. My mother had endometriosis and I’m pretty sure I do as well. I have started incorporating some of these tips already but it hasn’t been long enough yet. I just found a source of good healthy raw dairy milk and was so excited about it… do you think even raw milk is bad?
I have been doing this diet for over ten years. it doesn't work. I would advise you to not waste your time.
No milk. It's baby cow growth food, made to grow a 70 pound calf into a 600 cow. Those growth hormones will grow things other than a baby cow, namely your uterine lining.
@@amethystflower8799I guess it doesn't work for everyone, for me it did work going gluten free.
Don’t take raw milk unless you want tuberculosis. Milk has to be pasteurized. I have severe endo and I can’t have milk unless it’s dairy free. As far as finding out if you have endo, find out sooner than later. I have been waiting for twenty years for someone to listen. I have that now but the robot is booked and tissue is literally coming out of my body every time I go to the bathroom. I have had blood transfusions from bleeding to death as a kid. No one believed me. I have iron infusions now. I can’t wait for surgery but I won’t know if it will help. I have injuries, fibro, arthritis. But I pray it does help and my life is greatly changed for the better. The pain travels throughout but is acute on the left side abdomen back leg and foot. No part of my body isn’t in excruciating pain though. I tried orlissa, made pain in abdomen better but pain in legs worse. I also use a walker on my worst days but it’s hard bc I have arm and hand issues now as well. I’m only 36.
Thank you for the wonderful sharing Even my doc was not very certain so I am looking for answers and trying to understand endometriosis more
Hi Becky, thanks for the video it is very informative. I got endometriosis too which I am taking my medication.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this! Fortunately, I was already doing most of these, being almost plant based these last few years, but DAMN you just had to say the coffee part, that is going to be hard to eliminate!
Even decaff coffee isn't good for periods generally, it's not just the caffeine X
True, had decaf yesterday and was dealing with soreness today.
Your videos are great, please continue. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 10 years ago. Although I had 2 surgeries, I am struggling with end-stage intestinal nodules and infertility. Now, I have pain at unexpected moments other than my period. Despite in vitro fertilization treatment for 2 years, I could not get pregnant. I decided to pay more attention to nutrition and exercise. One thing that confuses me is cutting out dairy. However, yoghurt and kefir are healthy in terms of prebiotics. Should we continue to use them? I tried to make almond milk and yoghurt, the milk was ok but yoghurt did not work. What do you think about this? I'm glad I came across you, thank you.
What do you think on soy (tofu etc) and estrogen levels? There is so much controversy and I don’t understand wether or not to still consume soy.
I was diagnosed with endo with severe cysts and I don’t want to make it worse ...
I would really appreciate the info!
If it were me, I would avoid soy. Most of the time it's heavily processed. You can't die of a soy deficiency so if you're ever confused about it just avoid it ;)
Hi, I was recently diagnose with Endometriosis.
I kept getting the pain for years, it's so excruciating, thought was appendicitis or something else. Difficulty passing water and doing the mumber 2, I feel cork like I can't even pass gas, menstruation cramps 😢😢😢sometimes vomiting and nausea also it feels like my bones and joints are on fire sometimes. After doing numerous ultrasounds and still nothing was seen....I saw my Gynecologist then she confirmed it.
I am not sure what I can eat
Like oats, corn flour etc.
It's really frightening !!!!
Was it confirmed through a lap?
What happened to your video of supplements that you suggest for endometriosis I can’t seem to find it
Hi Becky, thank you for your video. You mentioned that you soak your legumes and beans in hot water with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. I soak mine in water but was just wondering what does the apple cider vinegar do? Thanks.
Hope she gets back
If I also have IBS do I stick to low fodmap diet or try combination of both diets
Hi Becky! I have been keto for almost 2 years and I can not imagine living any other way. However, I have decided I am going to go vegan keto because I have had such bad pain recently that I can not even stand up straight. I was wondering what you think of vegan keto for endo?
Hi. Can u pls share bout ur vegan keto? This may help my endo & adeno 🙏🏽
Hi, I found your video when I search. Thank you so much! I just want to ask about having decaffeinated black tea? is it ok? Also, is there an alternative for cheese and yogurt because I love them :(
I'm not sure if I have endometriosis but I have extremely painful periods.. like excruciating pain. I was wondering how long you need to eat an anti-inflammatory diet to see results? Like if I started two weeks before my period would it be beneficial or pointless? Does it need to be all the time?
hii isablle, how is it going so far? What have you tried out and what were the results?
I had the worst period cramps and heavy bleeding. Only after cutting out carbs (pasta , rice bread, potatoes..) as well as sugar and diary , not only i lost some pounds (i think too much weight automatically means too much estrogen9 also i must have lost the estrogen. And had some cycles without heavy bleeding and without pain. Then i started eating curd cheese, everything went well. After a bad time i craved for apples and ate loads of them, i think this started in August and now 4 months later i´ve had the worst period cramps again. So sugar and carbs, starches as well because these are all the same..but maybe diary too, cause problems. And now i try my best to go without it again. If we only had no cravings.
Hope to hear from you if you had the nerv to tr somthing out and what the outcome was. All th best ;)
Hi Becky - I was wondering what is the metal container you're using to fill your water bottle at 13:36? Is it some type of filtration system?
Hey Anna, that is a burkey water filter. I've had it for about a year and really love it! It doesn't mineralise the water like some brands but it certainly gets rid of all the junk in our town water :)
Can you please suggest completely vegetarian diet too for the proteins.
Sir, polypoidal proliferative phase endometrium with low grade endometrial hyperplasia without atypia. Doctor said remove utirus. Solution please 🙏 food solution

if dairy causes leaky gut, then how come colostrum actually really helps with sealing the wall? ARMA colostrum has really made a big difference for me
I have been drinking that too, just quit birth control and I am afraid of the pain, but I am hoping and praying that the Armra will help
Hi Becky, I suspect that I either have endo, adeno or adhesions from my 2 sections. Anyways, I am getting rid of coffee and dairy. I have subsituted coffee with a hot drink mixed with cacao powder, almond milk, vanilla bean paste and rapadura sugar. Is this concoction ok for someone with those issues I listed? Thank you for your channel and information. I really appreciate it.
I think that's a great alternative...nice work! :)
Wild caught salmon, can be found. Its expensive though.
Hi Becky, I tried coconut yogurt becauseI'm trying to cut down on dairy as much as possible. I liked it. It is a lot higher in fat than my normal geek yogurt one (that includes dairy) so I freaked out. Is it healthy fat in it like the fat you find in avocado for example?
Coconut yoghurt is a healthy fat and healthy fats are absolutely essential to have in our diet. Much much better for you than these low calorie/dairy packed yoghurts
Thank you so much ♥️
Hi, Becky. After max 3 hours past morning, if I don't drink a cup of coffee as I wake up, I start throwing up and I tried to get past that critical point and got to day 3, at which point I was litterally blinded by migrane and couldn't eat from throwing up every other hour. And I gave up and drank a small cup of coffee but this way it realky isn't worth it. Do you have any tips on how to stop drinking coffee?
Hey there! If you're really that reliant on it you can try making sure you have food in your stomach before having coffee or pairing your coffee with a fat and protein source (i will sometimes stir grass fed ghee and collagen through mine - makes it more creamy and doesn't affect taste). This will help the coffee be released more slowly and cause less of a stress response in the body. Form there you can start reducing the amount of coffee slowly (i.e 1/2 strength for a few weeks, then 1/4 strength for a few weeks, then decaff). Sounds like some liver support is needed to so might be best to find a natural health care practitioner in your area to support you.
I recently quit coffee and the only way I could do it was to do it very slowly. I started buying decaf and using half the amount of decaf and mix it with the normal coffee for 1 week and then slowly use less and less real coffee and after 3 weeks I only drank decaf and now I don’t need any coffee anymore. It was hard at the beginning but it’s worth it.
Hey Becky, Thanks for the video. I am just doing through the process of being diagnosed so your videos are very informative. :)
You are so welcome! All the best with your healing
Hi Becky! Is chicory coffee also inflammatory? I like drinking one coffee in the morning but if this creates more inflammation in my body and make endometriosis come back than I can change my habits. ❤
very well done .. thanks !
Glad you liked it!
And what about eggs should I consider them Dairy and quit them are they bad for endometriosis
What if you have prediabetes along with endo and ibs
What about probiotics? Whats the emotional rollers coaster ..sugar???
Is this diet same as pcos l have both??????
How do l know its inflammation or insulin???
I have lots of hairloss
What type of water ?? Is kangen ok?
I was diagnosed few months ago, for the first time i had the most painful ovulation , it’s been 5 days . Has anyone experienced this ?
Yes. This month it happened to me.
Thank you😊
Is caffeine in tea not good as well??
Does anyone else scream bloody murder on the floor wanting to die from endometriosis or is it just me
Can we do goat dairy? Or would al animal dairy be inflammatory?
I was told adding fruit to water the body thinks its need to digest .. need sto be plain water
great video, I think it was missing omega supplements. A few years ago, I started taking them and my period pain was reduced significantly. In addition, gluten free is also very effective, however, it was really hard to avoid, bread and pasta is everywhere, I do consume a few times a month, I guess that's why my pain is still there. I will try the recommendations in your video and get back to you, thanks ❤
Guess I’m going to the food drive..
I was diagnosed with Endo 13 year ago and on the pill since then. I have decided to get off the pill at the end of 2022 and I am treating myself with several supplements including the ones you mentioned in one of your videos. What are your thoughts on soya? I feel it helps me a lot but the research seems to be controversial.
I don't personally recommend soy just because it can go either way for woman and like you said the research is a little inconclusive. Plus most soy products are GMO so if you do consume it make sure its organic! That's great it's working for you though
@@beckyjane_lucas a few weeks after stopping the birth control pill, my Endo started giving symptoms again like mild cramps at my lower belly and rectum but the most significant is the IBS. Constant belly bloating. As I cut most of the soy (only left the milk), the cramps at my lower belly and rectum disappeared making me think that maybe soy is not as good for Endro patients. The bloating remained and also the lower back pain which make me think that Endo is causing a general inflammatory status in the area of my pelvis that I am trying to treat with food and supplements.
Thank you
I have endometriosis and pcos still won’t do surgery for endometriosis
someone told me that intermittent fasting is beneficial for endometriosis, have you heard this? what are your thoughts? don't wanna starve myself if i don't have to.
My clients respond better with regular eating to avoid metabolic disturbances :) Starving yourself should never be part of the healing journey
@@beckyjane_lucas Becky, intermittent fasting does not starve yourself .. it is very good to reduce your insulin level .. thus decreasing your inflammation .. I recommend it strongly
@@beckyjane_lucas thank you for everything. I am chiming in on the starving thing. I agree. When I eat less meals, narrow to say one and a snack, my pain is far worse. Even if spreading out small quantities through the day, it is far better.
These times will be hard though for us. The supply chain is getting difficult.
If your adrenals are already taxed, intermittent fasting can increase your stress and further tax your adrenals. Only you know if you can handle that at this time in your life.
Hi di . I have chocolate cyst endometriosis . What will can be cure?
Is there any evidence for protein deficiency in women with endometriosis?
What plant based yogurt is there? I never knew there was any.
there are lots of alternatives but my favourite is coconut :)
What if you have PCOS AND ENDOMETRIOSIS ❤ NOW HYSTERECTOMY AND HAIRLOSS
Thank you sis for this tips
I started taking the medication I bought from Dr igho channel on UA-cam and surprisingly it was working gradually and in 9days everything stopped. I am really happy that you helped me cure Endometriosis Completely and I pray that God strengthen you Dr Igho!
What is the medicine?
Cacao has no caffeine??😮 I’ll definitely ditch coffee!
Amazing thank you, I'm defo gna try the butter chicken (I love it but haven't had it for years being DF & GF) also that hot chocolate at the end sounds delish!
What about rice?
Sugar is a massive inflammatory, fruit has a lot of sugar, leave sugar and fruit out of your diet if you are serious. Berries are the exception.
Is cheese in moderation ok on this diet?
Is goat milk suitable for this diet
Do you know how much hydrogenated fat it takes for endo to regrow? I had my endo removed a month ago and last week I had a couple of really deep fried takeaways abs I’ve had pain ever since (corresponded with TOM but has persisted). Going to try anti inflammatory now. Are there still benefits if I REDUCE but don’t cut out dairy and gluten? Or does it have to be an everything goes scenario?
Hi Laura, vitamin E can help mitigate some of the inflammatory damage caused by fried foods, but ultimately best to limit or avoid next time if it triggers pain. I think cutting down would be a great place to start, especially because it can be overwhelming to suddenly go cold turkey. Mainly focus on cutting out the processed sources of gluten and dairy, and stick to whole food sources. All the best!

How about taking DIM?
DIM is a very individualised supplement. Works for some women and not for others :)
Thank you for the video! Can you list some of the sources you used? (Especially the one about cutting out dairy, you're saying a lot of normal doctors are starting to recommend this but I've never heard of it, where did you hear about this?) Thanks :)
watching from philippines..i really like your content..i have endometriosis for almost 7yrs.suffering from pain..let me know if its okey that i used to drink organic milk ..plss reply..im your supporter💖
Organic milk is a better option, but I'd still be giving dairy free a go to see if it makes a difference. All the best on your healing journey! X

Thanks so much for this informative video! Would you recommend milk thistle as a kind of liver detox for endometriosis? Thanks!!
Hey Lau, milk thistle wouldn't be my first option for liver detox as it's not specifically targeting the root cause. I go through the top researched supplements for Endo in this video - ua-cam.com/video/PFdJM0i8VYM/v-deo.html
Is it okay to take Greek yoghurt?
What to drink instead of coffee
I drink 3in1 coffee every morning only
I have water with electrolytes. You can make your own or buy the powder but dont buy the powder with lots of sugar.
