Endometriosis: A Key to Healing and Fertility Through Nutrition

Just few weeks on this diet gave me my life back - no more bloating, being tired, and not having energy and most of all I can manage pain - I don't crawl in tears on the floor anymore and miss days of work because I cannot move. I was very skeptical about no wheat no diary and no sugar diet - my first reaction was - what am I going to eat!? I discovered whole new world of foods and recipes and don't even miss the junk that I was eating. It's been 4 months and this is amazing - if you want your life back - read and follow this book!

I read the first edition and I had to write a review (I never do) but in doing so, I could help others with this horrible disease. The information in this book changed my life completely. I have had two surgeries for endo and countless ob/gyn visits - I finally followed the book's nutritional advice and after 3-4 weeks, my pain disappeared. Not only that, 4 months later, I became pregnant and now I am a mother to a beautiful baby girl. My energy is 100 times better - I felt so helpless before but now I feel so empowered. I have never felt so healthy! Please read - there is hope for you!!!

As a stage IV endometriosis sufferer, the diet recommendations dramatically alleviated menstrual cramps and especially bowel pressure and pain through the removal of wheat/wheat gluten, minimizing red meats, and maximizing vegetables, fruits and nuts. I found that starting this diet within a few months post-laparoscopy was most helpful.

I have been doing a lot of information hunting since my diagnosis of Stage IV Endometriosis. Of all the books (and other sources)I have read, this book is the most helpful and most logical. The authors explain how our bodies work, how everything within us is interrelated, and how what we put into our bodies effect that interrelation. Along with the extensive nutritional information, they also explain all the present treatment options available to us and how each one changes our body. I believe this is a very important book in helping us gain control of our lives again. (if the authors are reading this...Thank you)

After reading this book I gained such clarity of understanding of this awful and painful disease. Any woman or teenager that suffers from Endo must read this book! The book teaches you first how the immune, reproductive, and digestive systems, all work together and depend on eachother and then how endometriosis disrupts (to put it mildly) their special balance. The book then walks you through how nutrition (through supplements and food) plays such an important role in maintaining our system's balance and in healing. We can heal ourselves! And through testimonials in the book, you will see how women have changed their lives. Whatever your goal may be, to be pain-free or to achieve and maintain a pregnancy, this book will help you. Because of this book, two weeks ago I have begun to change my diet and already I have noticed a difference. The information provided in this book is invaluable.
