Recipes for the Endometriosis Diet (Paperback)

The book includes over 250 recipes plus recommendations of what to leave out of your diet and why; tips about estrogen and your diet, and how to keep it in balance; details of substitute ingredients for dairy products and baking; snippets of nutritional advice woven among the recipes; a range of recipes from simple and easy to cook through to more exotic ideas, including some recipes for parties and catering.

This is the second edition of the book, and to date there has been lots of very positive feedback from women who have followed the recipe suggestions in this book. Some women have even managed to be totally symptom free and have been able to return to normal activities in life, as well as the added benefit of loosing weight.

The purpose of the endometriosis diet is to relieve or even prevent some of the disabling symptoms that occur with menstruation, as well as the general pain of endometriosis. The diet also aims to decrease estrogen levels, stabilize hormones, increase energy levels, reduce inflammation and alleviate painful cramps.

When you change your diet there will be many changes in the foods you can and cannot eat, especially if you are to reap the benefits.

THESE MAIN FOODS ARE: --

-- wheat - this includes breads, cakes and pasta products, all based on wheat
-- refined and concentrated carbohydrates
-- refined sugars and honey - causes inflammatory reaction
-- alcohol
-- caffeine which is found in tea, coffee, soft drinks -increases abdominal cramps
-- chocolate
-- dairy produce including all milk and cheese - inflammatory
-- fried food, margarine and hydrogenated fats
-- soy products and soy protein - tamari can be used in small amounts
-- tinned and frozen packaged foods as little as possible
