Members shared a wide range of dietary strategies for managing endometriosis symptoms, with the most common approaches being anti-inflammatory eating and cutting out dairy, gluten, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine. Several members described personal wins like reduced pain, less bloating, and fewer flare-ups after identifying their personal triggers, and many recommended keeping a food journal to track how specific foods affect symptoms. A recurring theme was that no single diet works for everyone, so listening to your body, working with a nutritionist when possible, and making gradual changes are key steps forward.

It definitely varies to the person some gluten doesn't bother me. But a major trigger is dairy for me that I have reduced alot so far

I agree with all of the comments listed above. Eating a low inflammation diet, gluten-free dairy-free sugar-free has been a game changer for me. I have learned a lot about endometriosis and how to eat to heal your body through a podcast I found during my search for endometriosis support groups like this one. Check out the endometriosis nutritionist podcast. She is out of Australia.
