Have you considered trying an at-home food sensitivity test to identify trigger foods?
While the search results don't specifically mention at-home food sensitivity tests, many MyEndometriosisTeam members have found success with elimination diets to identify foods that trigger their endometriosis symptoms.
One member shared that they went to a gastrointestinal specialist and used an elimination diet to figure out what triggers their symptoms. Another member discovered through their own experience that eliminating gluten, dairy, and soy solved 90 percent of their pain.
Some members have found keeping a food journal particularly helpful. One member noted that having a record to show doctors helped steer them away from an automatic IBS diagnosis and focus on treating the endometriosis instead.
Before trying any at-home test or making dietary changes, it's best to talk with your doctor or work with a dietitian. They can help you determine the best approach for identifying your trigger foods and provide professional support, since changing your diet can be challenging.
An anti-inflammatory diet, like the Mediterranean diet, has also helped some members reduce inflammation and manage their symptoms.
