After I first found out I had endo, I went almost completely vegan -- no red meat or pork, only limited poultry (1x/week), and cut way back on dairy & eggs. It helped for a while, but I was in pain again soon. I don't know how much of the helping was wishful thinking and how much was actually happening.

Hello Endo Angels,

I am wondering if any of you out there have tried making significant changes to your diet to avoid all estrogen intake, and if so how its worked. I have been thinking about this especially after reading that certain foods like meat, milk and eggs can have significant estrogen content, and that eating what seems to be an entirely vegan diet can actually help to reduce circulating estrogen levels. Please e-mail me if any of you know anything about this.

Thanks!

Amanda

Amanda, I don't remember that side-effect when I took EPO, but anything is possible. Whenever I have questions, I usually check out herbs, etc. at: http://webmd.lycos.com/drug_and_herb. The website is down right now, so check it out later today and see what you come up with. Hope this helps - Lila

Has anyone out there who has been taking Evening Primrose Oil for pain noticed if it had a sedating effect? I think it is really knocking me out. This happens to me a lot but I was just wondering if it has happened to anyone else. Thanks
