Btw even though a gluten free diet seems to help some women, there seems little to no evidence that it actually helps when you don't have an allergy.

Idk if you have gut issues co-occurring but I found gluten free to be bunk, too. The gluten free alternatives apparently have a lot of emulsifiers and fillers that're gut-bothering sometimes, same with plant-based milks and ice creams :-/ very filling, hard to digest - though unsure from an anti-inflammatory perspective.

A mediterranean diet didnt help me. I do a lot of whole plant based food which helped with weight loss but not endo. I dont know if having it on my bowel is the reason I didnt get relief. 3 surgeries for this and now another one in a few months.

Why is your mom against it? How old are you? My mom also likes to think she knows better than doctors sometimes. My body, my decision. As long as you take an informed decision, do what you gotta do.

Gluten free is easy and totally worth it for me. I avoid conventional dairy with its accumulated pesticide toxins and artificial hormones, but I feel very nourished by organic butter and my raw goat milk from my goats
