Should I avoid gluten in my diet if I have endo?
There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to diet and endometriosis, but many people find that cutting out gluten helps manage their symptoms. While research on the direct connection between gluten and endometriosis is still developing, some studies and personal experiences suggest that a gluten-free diet might reduce inflammation and ease symptoms for some individuals.
If you're considering eliminating gluten, it’s a good idea to try it out for a month or two. Keep track of what you eat and how you feel to see if removing gluten makes a difference for you. Many of my patients have reported feeling better after cutting out gluten, possibly because they’re sensitive to it or because gluten can contribute to bloating and pain.
However, going gluten-free can be challenging. It might be expensive, especially with commercial gluten-free products, and relying solely on these can impact your gut health if you’re not eating a variety of other nutritious, high-fiber foods.
To start, try removing gluten for a few weeks and see how your body responds. Plan your meals ahead of time and focus on gluten-free, nutrient-rich foods to make the transition smoother.
