Endometrosis occurs when tissue, similar to the lining of the endometrium, grows outside the uterus. The tissue that grows outside the uterus in endometriosis is not the same as endometrial tissue, but they have some features in common.
The tissue can develop anywhere in the body, but it usually affects the pelvic area, including:
- the ovaries
- the fallopian tubes
- tissues that support the uterus
- the outside of the uterus
Various dietary factors may affect the risk of developing endometriosis, the way a person experiences symptoms, and their overall sense of well-being.
A 2020 interview study involving 12 people concluded that focusing on dietary factors helped relieve pain and fatigue. This may be partly due to an enhanced awareness of endometriosis and an increased focus on diet and well-being overall.
Dietary factors that may be beneficial include:
- removing gluten and dairy products from the diet
- increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables
- avoiding junk food
- preparing meals using fresh ingredients
- avoiding caffeine and alcohol
- following a low-FODMAP diet
- consuming a type of seaweed known as bladderwrack
