Whilst eating healthily is always a good idea, don't rely on the fact that the 'recommended' foods will shrink or remove the fibroids, they might at best slow down the growth. You would have to eat bucketloads of the foods to obtain enough of the beneficial ingredients to have an effect - for instance cruciferous veg contain DIM which is thought to be helpful, but in reality they contain very small amounts. I took DIM supplements and also milk thistle, both of these I'm sure have been beneficial.
I used to take ground flax seeds daily as they contain phytoestrogens but during that period my fibroids grew rapidly, now there is a lot of contradictory advice about whether phytoestrogens are helpful or not in controlling oestrogen levels so I though it best to avoid them.
