Hello! I'm not an expert in the field of medicine. I ask you to reply to my next question. I would like to know something about endometriosis. How much is usefully that patient with this disorder takes wheat free diet? Is there any unintended consequence that may occur after you apply this diet for a while? I want to thank in advance for your possible answer on this topic.
Hello there! I found that changing your diet to deal with Endometriosis is an excellent foundation to assist you in reducing the symptoms, and will help regenerate your health. Endometriosis is an estrogen-sensitive condition, but the painful menstrual cramping that occurs is predominantly due to prostaglandin synthesis in the body. Prostaglandins are naturally occurring fatty acids, which are derived from dietary sources. The body can produce different types of prostaglandins through a complex series of pathways. In addition to decreasing bad fat intake, the diet should also consist of high fiber. Not only does this help with good digestion, but it is also thought that a diet high in fiber can decrease total circulating estrogens. It is recommended to incorporate 25 grams per day of fiber. Good sources are: whole grains excluding wheat and rye , beans, peas and pulses , brown rice, vegetable and fruits, oatmeal. The other interesting thing that I found is that wheat has been genetically modified and there are two hormones out of two, the genome. There is also problems with gluten sensitivity, and more people are becoming gluten sensitive. In 80% of the women with endometriosis, their pain subsides when they take wheat out of the diet. I hope this will help you and you'll get better soon.
