Curious about the effects of diet on endometriosis symptoms? While high-quality evidence is still limited, there is a growing understanding of the role of nutrition for symptom relief. Research is ongoing, and many report that making changes to their diet helps with their endometriosis symptoms.
We have gathered the latest evidence and put it all in one place in our Diet and Complementary Therapies for Endometriosis booklet so you can make an informed decision about what may be worth trying for symptom relief. As always, it is important to remember that what works for one person may not work for another.
