More than five million women in America suffer from endometriosis today. And for many of them, suffer is the accurate word. Endometriosis, a leading cause of infertility, is earmarked by pain, particularly during menstruation, and also during and after sex.
Endometriosis occurs when the endometrial tissue that lines the inside of the uterus finds its way outside and into other organs of the body, such as the abdomen and fallopian tubes. When this happens, the misplaced tissue develops into lesions which respond to the woman's menstrual cycle. Each month, the tissue builds up and then sheds. Inside the uterus this natural shedding becomes part of the menstrual flow. But outside of the uterus the tissue has nowhere to go and backs up, causing internal bleeding, inflammation, adhesions, pain, and eventually for many, infertility.
There are a number of medical research studies that indicate no curative effect for endometriosis through diet, although in at least one study conducted in Italy, fish oil was shown to alleviate symptoms and in another study conducted in Mexico, a diet high in antioxidants was found to be helpful..

For those with endometriosis, there are not only specific foods that you should eat, but also specific foods that you should avoid. Detrimental foods include those that increase prostaglandins E2 (GE2) and prostalandin F2a (PGF2a). These two types of prostaglandins stimulate estrogen, which is the main hormone found to increase the symptoms of
