*TMI Maybe*Has Anyone Tried The Anti Inflammatory Endo/IBS Diet? Or Anything Else To Help Weight Gain When Your Body Flushes Everything Out?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am struggling to find the PDF, but I have heard there is an elimination diet some people with endo have found success with that's also used by people with IBS symptoms, at least at reducing digestive symptoms.

Have you tried it, or found anything else diet-wise that's helpful?

I can't exactly eat the BRAT diet (banana, rice, apples, toast) for two weeks out of the month, if you know what I mean.

Does anyone with digestive symptoms have anything diet wise that they've found helps? I'm… read more

Are Moving And Eating Triggers For You?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

It seems when I lay perfectly still for a minute or two, the pain is greatly reduced. As soon as I move, it begins to hurt worse again.

If I'm have a partically painful day, eating causes me a lot of pain about 5-30 minutes afterwards. If I'm have a normal day, I'll hurt just a little bit after I eat, but it's enough to be noticeable.

Does anyone else experience this or any other triggers?

Debilitating Fatigue - How To Cope?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I feel really hopeless. I used to be an athlete who would run 80 miles a week at 7 min/mile pace. Now I sleep half the day. The fatigue is debilitating. I have managed to keep running because that makes me feel better. But I can't stay awake half the day and I don't know what to do. I want to accomplish stuff and somebody soon hold down a job. My old job before the pandemic was very active, which helped me stay alert. I was also good at it. Should I try to follow in that direction? I… read more

Gallbladder Pain Attacks On Day 1 And 2 Of Period
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

For the past 6 months I’ve been having gallbladder pain attacks that are closely tied to my menstrual cycle—pain starts building first day of period and is very strong on day 2, followed by about a week of residual pain.
