Symptoms Gone After Years of Monthly Pain!

I have had a really amazing experience with my horrendous endometriosis symptoms disappearing!

Similar to the experience in the article:
https://endometriosis.net/living/diet-vegan/?via=homepage-hero

I am so happy and wish I knew about it years ago!

l started a plant based vegan diet one year ago, after watching the documentary game changes.

What I did not expect was that all my endometriosis symptoms disappeared on the very first month!

Going vegan may be worth trying!

If anyone has endometriosis it really is worth trying for a month to see if it works for you! I have had multiple surgeries and nothing really helped. I didn't get upset about it I just thought it was something that I had to live with.

Previously my period came around every 24 days with very strong pain for a couple of days each time, now it comes every 4-5 weeks (mostly 4) and I only rarely get very mild pain even if my period is quite heavy. It really is such a wonderful change! It happened on the very first month when I had only been vegan for a couple of weeks.

I would be really interested to hear if this works for other people.

Hi <inline-mention user-id="2056047" username="louise"/> ! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. This is so great to hear! It gives me a lot of hope for sure. I have been thinking of trying to go Vegan for a while to see if it helps. But just been lazy to actually start, I guess! Was it hard for you to get started with it? Any tips and tricks? Hoping you continue to find this relief! Hugs <3 -Kimberli (Team Member)

 Thanks Kimberli. It wasn't hard for me at all. I watched the documentary 'Game Changers', on Netflix and it motivated me. You could try it for a few weeks to see if it works for you, as it fixed mine on the very first month that I started. I also think it's a good idea to make changes slowly. So cut out one thing, wait a few months until that is easy, then cut the next thing out. I was already pretty healthy. I mostly eat wholegrains, exercise regularly, rarely eat sugar etc. So it wasn't a massive change. My husband also became vegan after watching the documentary and he used to eat a lot of meat, dairy etc. He found it very motivating, so not too hard. He also lost a lot of weight after giving up meat/dairy.

 So glad to hear it wasn't hard to get started! I will have to check that documentary out for sure. I haven't seen it yet! You are so right to go slow. I think my problem is that I am so desperate to feel better that I am just cutting so many things out at once, and it is driving me crazy and making it a lot harder to figure out what exactly is working being cut out and what isn't! Well your story is definitely inspiring and I thank you so much for sharing it <3 Hope you have a great week ahead! Sending hugs. -Kimberli (Team Member)

Hello <inline-mention user-id="2056047" username="louise"/> that is wonderful that you have had such success with dietary changes. I've had a similar experience following the Autoimmune Protocol diet (AIP). I'm sure there are many parts of AIP and vegan that overlap. I also wish I'd done it sooner. I suffer with several autoimmune conditions and while dietary changes haven't brought "complete" relief, it is certainly much, much better. Finding what works for you is such a huge part of the journey. Have you found any other habits that have helped? -Leanne, Team Member

 Yes I agree, I wish I'd found it sooner as well! I wish that more people knew about it. I haven't noticed anything else helping for me.
