Thanks for the suggestions everyone. @A MyEndometriosisTeam Member I can seriously relate to your comment haha. I have been questioning diet because I'm so bloated all the time and I feel like I am gaining weight but I don't know if that is the case or if it is just the bloating...
Also if something like diet can help I figured I would try but you are right- I am already limited by pain so diet would be extra punishment!
