An interesting fact about diet and Endometriosis
Some foods you may want to avoid that you didn’t know!
Alcohol:
Wine, beer and spirits can make endometriosis symptoms worse. At most, have one or two drinks per week.
Caffeine:
Limit your daily caffeine to 400 milligrams or less. One cup of coffee can have over 100 milligrams, depending on how it’s brewed.
Fatty meat
Some red meat is good but limit your overall saturated fat intake to 10% of your daily calories.
Sugary drinks
Fruit juices, sodas and energy drinks are often high in refined sugar, which makes inflammation worse. Aim for less than 26 grams of refined sugar each day.
