Cutting out dairy made my periods /endometriosis worse
Posted , 3 users are following.
My periods have been extremely bad since I first started , I have horrible periods cramps , I have back pain, my legs and arms go numb and I am always throwing up , i literally cant walk around for 3 days so i have to be in my bed or i will either faint or be sick. I also suffer from ibs , sometimes because of throwing up so much I have to have an iv because I get so dehydrated, so I decided that I am going to do something about this so I thought i will cut out dairy , I did it for a month and thought my period would improve but when they came they was the worst I’ve had in years , I was sick for 3 whole days usually it’s only one day, I had the worst cramps , I thought it would help my diet so I’m not sure what happened, I was thinking because I was drinking almond milk that could be why because nuts are a trigger for my ibs but I’m just not sure. Also another thing , I tried blackstrap molasses which may be a reason why it got worse but I did that a month before and it didn’t make me worse and infact I thought it helped a little so I doubt it but I do know it’s not good for Ibs. I have not been diagnosed with endometriosis as I am not comfortable with the Way they diagnose you as I am young and I don’t want to do it.Do you think because I cut dairy out and it didn’t work would that possible mean I may not have endometriosis. Sorry this is all over the place but what are your thoughts .

hi I've had the same problem since I started I'm now 43!
Everything changed when I started to take Vit D. My period pains stopped which was a real blessing. I still get heavy periods but no pain. Years of taking painkillers effected my stomach lining which I have to live with. I also have been doing acupuncture for the past 8 years on and off and it helps.
Hope you find comfort soon.
