The many “faces” of endometriosis!!

⁉️Can you relate to any of these scenarios dear friend?

05/21/2026

Dear fri-endo does your Endo Belly often Feel Random and hits you out of the blue!

I know how frustrating it is because you’re trying so hard to eat well…but your body “reacts” anyway, just when you thought you did everything right!! ⁉️

✔️ Here’s the thing:
No Two Endo warriors React the Same way to food 🫠

Some people flare up when eating gluten or Fructan

Others react more to garlic, onions, high fibre foods, dairy… or even large meals.

💣 And sometimes the food you think caused the bloating… isn’t actually the culprit.

Because digestive symptoms can be delayed, hormone or stress-related, or linked to foods eaten earlier (or even the day before).

Which means:

✨ bloating after dinner doesn’t automatically mean dinner was the problem.

😲 No wonder so many warriors are exhausted trying to keep up with online endo diet advice, and are ready to give up!

✨ What matters here is your body’s unique triggers and patterns

They are far more complex than a single food or a meal. 🥘

😔 So, If you’re tired of guessing which foods are “safe” and feeling confused by all the conflicting advice online, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Endometriosis and diet culture are more entangled than most people realize.

Diet culture has convinced so many of us that healing means eating “cleaner,” cutting out more foods, controlling every bite. 🥗

And when you’re living with chronic pain, bloating, fatigue, and symptoms that shift day to day, so wanting relief makes complete sense. I’ve been there too boo! 🤍

So removing foods starts to feel safe.
Like the one thing you can actually control. 🔒

But slowly, that can become something heavier.
😟 Fear around food. Anxiety at meals. Constant second-guessing.

What often gets missed is that your body is picking up on all of that stress.

When certain foods become linked with pain, just thinking about them can create real tension the nervous system becomes more alert, more reactive.

A completely natural response. 🧠💛

Over time, this can build into a cycle where the body anticipates pain before anything has even happened. 🔄

And none of this means your pain isn’t real. It means your body is doing exactly what it’s wired to do. 💪🏼

If food has started to feel scary or overwhelming, you’re not alone in that. 🫶

As a dietitian, I work with people to gently rebuild trust with food and their bodies,

So no more restriction, no more fear, no more starting over. 🌱

✨ Should we redefine the name endometriosis?

Yesterday, PCOS was renamed PMOS because the name didn’t fully reflect the condition.

❓And it made me wonder…What about endometriosis?

Because most people still hear:
➡️ “a gynecological disease”
➡️ “bad period cramps”
➡️ “maybe infertility”

But that’s not the full story.
Not even close.

Endometriosis can look like:

🔸 inflammation
🔸 immune dysfunction
🔸 crushing fatigue
🔸 bowel + bladder symptoms
🔸 nerve pain
🔸 migraines, nausea + bloating
🔸 hip, back, rib + leg pain
🔸 shortness of breath and more…

For many, it’s not just a pelvic condition

It’s systemic.
It’s multi-organ.
It can affect nearly every aspect of daily life.

And yet…
so many people are still told it’s “just period pain.” 💔

🤔 Maybe the issue isn’t only the name.
🎗️ Maybe it’s about awareness Education and Language.
🎗️Because “endometriosis” still sounds localized, Contained.

But for many living with it, nothing about it feels contained.

So the question is:

❓Does the name truly reflect the reality of the disease?

And while the right name matters, timely access to care matters just as much.

Imagine an Endometriosis Centre where patients could access multiple practitioners in one place:

✨ gynecology
✨ pelvic floor physiotherapy
✨ dietitians
✨ pain management
✨ GI care
✨ mental health support

A true “one-stop” model of care.

That’s my pie-in-the-sky dream. ☁️

Because what we really need is:
🔹 more education within the medical system
🔹 more awareness in schools + the general public
🔹 more funding for research
🔹 better diagnostic tools
🔹 better treatment outcomes

People living with endometriosis deserve more than delayed diagnosis, dismissal, and a in “ineffective” treatments !!

💭 What do you think?

Does the name “endometriosis” reflect the reality of the disease experience — or is it time for the conversation to evolve?

PCOS vs PMOS

So… PCOS officially has a new name.

👏 Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) is now being renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS).

🩷 And honestly? The change feels long overdue.

💥 The rename, announced yesterday in The Lancet, ⏳ follows 11 years of research involving 22,000 participants and 56 global organizations.

❓ Why the new name: Imagine being diagnosed with a condition whose name barely explains what’s actually happening to your body.
🙁 (And) The truth is… PCOS was never just about ovaries.

😥 The old name minimized the complexity of this condition. It didn’t fully capture what women were actually experiencing, and for years it contributed to misunderstanding and delayed diagnosis..

PMOS better reflects what this condition really is: a complex endocrine and metabolic condition that can affect the whole body.

For many, that can look like:

• insulin resistance
• metabolic dysfunction
• chronic inflammation
• hormonal imbalances
• fertility challenges
• co-morbidities like depression, prediabetes, high cholesterol, NAFLD (liver issues) and sleep apnea

💪 The new name helps shift the conversation beyond just “ovarian cysts” and toward the bigger picture: hormones, metabolism, long-term health, and whole-person care and ligitimize it as a serious health condition!!

Personally, I’m a fan of the change. 💛

It feels like It feels like an important step forward i.e. the beginning of a much bigger and much needed conversation. 💛

❔Dear endo warrior… can you relate to any of these?

Living with endometriosis is hard enough as it is!!
But so many of you also carry the invisible burden of trying to appear “okay” while silently struggling.

You (and me) shouldn’t have to work so hard just to be seen, heard, and taken seriously?

So many of you hide your pain and symptoms in different ways, often because you’ve been dismissed, gaslit, or misunderstood! 😳🎗️

👉 Here are just a few examples:

✨Avoid seeing your doctor, while continuing to live with debilitating pain, because you’ve been dismissed in the past.

✨Smile through work, family dinners, or social events while silently counting down the minutes until you can finally lie down.

✨Avoid intimacy because it hurts… but feel too guilty, ashamed, or exhausted to explain why.

✨Skip meals at social events or pretend you are not hungry to avoid triggering a flare.

✨Push through unbearable pain to avoid disappointing others or being perceived as “flaky.”

✨Wear oversized or loose clothing every day to hide bloating and pelvic pain.

Sometimes we hide our pain because we don’t want endometriosis to define us.

But the reality is… 👉 this condition impacts so many parts of life, and you shouldn’t have to hide the “real you” to make others comfortable.

🎗️Your pain is real and your experience is valid.

💛 You deserve to be heard, not only by your loved ones, but by your healthcare team too. 💛

TOP ENDO SUPPLEMENT MISTAKES // How many supplements are you taking for your Endo? You might want to reconsider. More doesn’t always mean better.

💊 1. Not taking the most bioavailable form of each nutrient! Different forms absorb differently, so make sure you know which one will give you the best outcome (and also get what you’re paying for too!).

💊 2. Taking your iron supplement with food vs an empty stomach: BECAUSE certain foods and beverages contain compounds will BIND to IRON, drastically reducing its absorption by your body.

💊 3. Taking not enough or too much of a nutrient - we want therapeutic & safe dosages which means not too much but not too little: the mega dosing on other things can cause more harm than good.

💊 4. Taking nutrients that inhibit each other at the same time of the day (e.g. iron and calcium) means you won’t be getting what it says on the label which may mean you’re nutritionally missing the mark!

💊 5. Double Dipping - taking different supplements with overlapping nutrients, but sometimes it isn’t so obvious.

For example, some calcium supplements contain vitamin D. Or taking a multivitamin with a B complex supplement.

💊 6. Combining supplements or herbal products that may interfere with each other’s effects.

- High doses of turmeric combined with fish oil, garlic, Vitamin E, or anticoagulant medications may increase your bleeding risk!

💊 7. Using herbal products or supplements with potentially negative interactions with your medication(s):

🌱 Some botanicals (like Vitex) may influence hormone activity and are not suitable for all. It may interact with hormonal medications such as birth control, fertility medications, or hormone therapy.

🤔 have you ever made any of these “mistakes” with you Endo supplements? Please comment below so that others can learn from you! 😊💛

Did you know that Infertility affects 30-50% of those with endometriosis?

So WHY exactly can it be harder to conceive with endo?

😥 Egg quality
endometriosis causes inflammation which can impact the quality of your eggs. This CAN be turned around significantly with nutrition and lifestyle change!

😔 Inflammation in the pelvis can make it harder for an embryo to implant.
The encouraging part: proper treatment is linked to better pregnancy outcomes.

🙁 When endo involves the ovaries (or after surgery), inflammation and scar tissue can impact ovarian function.

🎗️ I see clients go on an emotional rollercoaster when they’re on their conceiving journey.

🎗️From sadness, to frustration, overwhelm and of course +++ anxiety. I’ve been there too.

I struggled seeing my closest friends with growing families.

If this sounds familiar, please know that your feelings are VALID.👇 I’d love to hear your story! 💛💛

Dear fri-Endo, planning meals for Endometriosis isn’t supposed to be complicated!!

But I often recommend (the above) antioxidant rich foods because
✨ they help lower the 🔥 inflammatory load in the body, a key driver of endometriosis,
✨ Without breaking the bank!!

👉 Here is a short list of endo-friendly foods you can always keep at your fingertips:

🍣 Fish: The same goes for fresh or canned fish, both are good sources of protein and easy to prepare & not to forget a great source of OMEGA 3 fats.

Other foods contain powerful compounds that support the body in similar ways, including…

🍓 Natural Antioxidants: Found in foods like berries, citrus fruits, and leafy greens.

✨ Anti-inflammatory Spices: Turmeric, ginger, garlic, rosemary, and oregano are so flavorful but did you know that they also contain antioxidants,

✨ Anti-bloat teas: ➡️ Like peppermint, ginger or fennel which help reduce gas 🍵

- Did you know that gingerol, a key ingredient in ginger, can also relieve nausea and is a potent anti-inflammatory.

🍵 EGCG, an antioxidant in Matcha or green tea 🍵 gives calm energy, aka a little boost without the jitters, or crash like coffee. ☕️

🍒 Polyphenols: Found in EVOO, cocoa powder, berries, nuts and many other plants also help to calm inflammatory pathways.

🥑 Healthy fats: Found in foods like olives and olive oil, which help support hormone balance. Research says that oleocanthal found in EVOO has been shown to have a similar anti-inflammatory effect to ibuprofen.

🌱 fibre: Found in lentils, quinoa, sweet potatoes, apples or any plant that will nourish beneficial gut bacteria and support immune & gut health.

- I absolutely LOVE edamame (I’ll even eat it as a snack)
- Lentils are ++ nice in soups.

Adding more of these foods into your meals, especially leading up to and during your period, can help balance the inflammation driving an Endo flare and provide relief.

Save this list so you can start building your plate with more anti-inflammatory foods.

Dear friends, Adenomyosis Awareness Month is almost over… but this is something we’re NOT done talking about. 💛

Because adenomyosis is STILL, dismissed, and missed (difficult to diagnose!)❗️

Often called endo’s “evil step-sister” but honestly? It’s just as serious.

✨ Adeno is a chronic inflammatory and painful condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows into the muscle of the uterus.

And yes this can mean:
painful periods, heavy bleeding, and pelvic pain.

Let’s CLEAR this up 👇

👉 ADENOMYOSIS: tissue grows into the uterine muscle
👉 ENDOMETRIOSIS: tissue grows outside the uterus 🎗️ (and can grow on major organs i.e. impact the whole body)

So… what does adenomyosis actually feel like?

🌱 Severe, often debilitating pelvic pain
🌱 Heavy periods (hello clots)
🌱 Bloating that comes and goes or never leaves
🌱 Anemia & exhaustion
🌱 Fertility struggles
🌱 Nausea, constipation, diarrhea
🌱 Pain with in*******se

Diagnosis isn’t always straightforward…

• Pelvic exam
• Ultrasound
• MRI (often the most accurate)

💚 Where to start

✨ Step 1: get the right diagnosis
✨ Step 2: stop normalizing this level of pain
✨ Step 3: seek support from qualified, evidence-based practitioners
