So after my meeting with my Naturopath and her telling me that there were still toxins trying to find their way out of my body, I decided that perhaps I should eat more raw food – just for a little while, until I got more toxins out. I went to the library and got out [...]

by Melissa on January 24, 2012 in Endometriosis Diet, Inside your head!
Sometimes we can get caught up in a massive overflow of information with this whole healing thing. It is easy enough to do.

I am doing everything right! Why am I still getting boughs of Endometriosis Pain out of nowhere?
by Melissa on January 13, 2012 in Endometriosis Diet, Featured, Healthy Lifestyle choices
Sometimes it feels like Endometriosis is just a weird kind of curse. It gives you no warning of it’s looming pain and it feel like you can’t seem to win against the battle of it all. Pain seems to pop out of nowhere and the spiral seems to just escalate, leaving you lying in bed, [...]
How to develop Self Discipline so you too can stick to the Endometriosis Diet
by Melissa on January 1, 2012 in Endometriosis Diet, Featured, Healthy Lifestyle choices
It is funny when you spend time with others who don’t stick to diets or a healthier way of eating, who still don’t feel well. They know that eating better would help their health, make them less tired, less sore or take away digestive issues. They could know this from reading heaps of information that [...]
Do you know which foods are more inflammatory on your Endometriosis versus others? You may be surprised by the answers!
by Melissa on December 20, 2011 in Endometriosis Diet
I hired a book from the library called the Inflammation Free Diet and in it, it categorises certain foods as being inflammatory on the body. This is the same inflammation that causes the reaction in our bodies like allergies, digestive issues and Endometriosis. So, if we are aware of the foods that cause inflammation, we [...]

Why is the Endometriosis Diet so good for us Endo girls? What does it specifically do?
by Melissa on December 9, 2011 in Endometriosis Diet
When I first read about the Endometriosis diet, I really thought it was way too hard to stick to! I had to cut out my most favourite things ever and to be honest without sugar, cakes, biscuits, muffins and cheese, what kinda life is that really? I struggled to stick to it all and would [...]
I can directly attribute so much of my Endometriosis Pain to Gluten! Have you gone off it yet?
by Melissa on December 8, 2011 in Endometriosis Diet, Featured
So, I ran a little experiment the other day.

To tell this story, I must however begin with how it all started. [...]

I just wanted to say, how enlightening your Site is, a dear friend of mine, has gone through hell and back, it has taken them three and a half years to finally diagnose that she has Endometriosis, and as a result it is quite advanced, she is now waiting for an operation. I have been reading up on the subject, because I want to be there for her, and to do that I need to understand the problems she is encountering, many thanks for laying it out so that it can be easily understood.
