Does Alcohol Cause Endo Pain?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Ive noticed that everytime I drink by the end of the night Im laying in a ball in my bed with intense pain. Is the alcohol causing this? I havnt drank since i started treatment so im not sure if it was just regular pain or caused by drinking.

Me to. Every morning after a drink I wake in extreme pain and takes me out for days.

Yep it does the exact same to me too! I also recently dramatically reduced the amount of sugar in my diet and now I’ve noticed if I eat something like chocolate, 20mins later I have intense pelvic pain. I guess it goes to show how bad these things really are for us!

Yes alcohol is on the list of things to avoid if you follow the endo diet or an anti inflammatory diet. Not only does it increase inflammation in the body but it is also estrogenic, and often full of sugar or gluten depending on what you drink. I only drink on special occasions now and opt for a vodka soda with a teeny bit of cranberry to avoid the gluten and sugar.

I have heard that alcohol is not good for inflammation and makes it worst. I know it does for me at times. On the endo diet alcohol is something they want you to eliminate 😩

I was wondering about this also. I wonder if it's the alcohol or maybe even dehydration. Really curious why
