Hello Steph, I am vegetarian (& have been my whole life) so i do not eat red meat, fish/seafood or chicken at all. I don't eat eggs, and have little dairy in de-caffinated tea or on cereal.

I eat mostly vegetables & fruits/salads. I try to incorporated pulses/legumes into my diet but find that they can affect GI tract which is painful for me as i have had Endo on my bowels/intestines etc

When i was first diagnosed with Endo i went to a Dietitian who advised i cut ALL dairy out 100%, which i did but a year later Endo was back worse than before & i decided to allow myself some dairy as i desired it. I can crave cheese which i love with tomato& gherkins.

I do not drink coffee, & limit alcohol.

Good topic for discussion as we can learn something new all the time... sami koala
