✨ Have you had excision surgery months ago? … but your bloating never got the memo?
✨ You’re not imagining it and sadly you’re not alone.

👉 Up to 85% of endo-warriors experience digestive symptoms, including bloating.
🚫 And no, bloating doesn’t automatically mean your endo is back, despite your endo surgery.

Here’s what’s often driving it ⬇️

🔹 Gut health plays a huge role:
Unfortunately many of us have reduced gut diversity, dysbiosis, or increased estrogen recycling.

💡 Other common contributors I often see:
• Functional constipation
• Higher rates of IBS and/or SIBO
• Eating patterns that may need gentle tweaks (this is where nutrition support helps 💛)
• Pelvic floor dysfunction
• Ongoing inflammation

💜 Healing from endometriosis isn’t linear.
Surgery can help dramatically but it’s only one piece of the puzzle 🧩

💜 The good news?
You can find relief ➕ with the right nutrition strategy, digestive support, and holistic therapies like stress management and pelvic physio, (amongst others).

Tell me dear friend, how has bloating been for you after surgery?
Would love to hear your thoughts 👇👇

Dear friend, there’s no one-size-fits-all diet for endometriosis. ⛔

And cutting out half your pantry — sugar, gluten, red meat, soy, and whatever else Google scared you into ditching ❌ is definitely not the magic solution you’ve been promised.

🍴 Here’s the truth: ⬇️

We don’t have strong, consistent evidence that eliminating sugar, gluten, dairy, soy, or red meat helps everyone with endo.

Could some people feel better with certain tweaks? Yes.

📚 Still we desperately need better research.

Most of the recent studies rely on self-reported food intake and pain scores and many weren’t designed, led, or peer-reviewed by MS or PhD-level dietitians or researchers! 🥼

Translation: the evidence just isn’t strong enough to justify extreme restriction.

✨ Here’s the kicker: restrictive diets can increase fatigue, nutrient gaps, anxiety around food, and even worsen your relationship with eating.

✨ I wish there was a “silver bullet” diet that magically managed all types of endo pain (trust me,).

🧑‍⚕️ Endometriosis nutrition requires an individualized, multi-layered approach; one built with a qualified dietitian who understands your symptoms, your lifestyle, and your needs!! 👍

🙋‍♀️ If you’re tired of guessing what to eat… DM me and we’ll build a personalized plan that actually works for you.

Thx for reading! Louise

Endo Doesn’t Take a Holiday but You still deserve one🎄dear friend!

Here’s what I want you to know: food isn’t the enemy, and traditions don’t have to be either.

Yes, with the way your endo symptoms show up, enjoying the holidays might feel stressful or even impossible…

✨ My clients thought the same until they implemented strategies that helped them enjoy holiday feasts with far fewer symptoms.

So try these very helpful endo-friendly tips to make your holiday travel and celebrations feel smoother:

🥣 Start your day with a solid breakfast.

Keep blood sugar steady and pack a balanced snack with protein + complex carbs.

🍳 Bring a familiar dish you tolerate well. It’s a win-win.

👕 Wear comfy, loose-fitting clothes.

Your tummy will thank you during, and after dinner.

💦 Stay hydrated and limit alcohol 🍷

Your digestion and energy levels depend on it.

🧳 Pack your endo “survival kit.”

Peppermint oil capsules for cramping/urgency, digestive bitters, heat patches, whatever helps your body cope.

🫔 Avoid grazing.

Spacing out meals and snacks can reduce bloating, pain, and blood-sugar crashes.

🧘 Build in gentle movement, stretch breaks, deep belly breathing throughout the season. Another great tip to go for a walk after a festive meal.

Just 5–10 minutes can reduce tension and support digestion.

🛟 Save this post so you can come back to these tips before your next gathering.

When you’re exhausted or in the middle of an endo flare, cooking can feel impossible…

And honestly? That’s completely understandable. 💛

One thing I see so often in my clients is the pressure to cook “proper meals” even when their body is screaming for rest.

But here’s the truth: nourishing yourself doesn’t have to mean standing in the kitchen for 30+ minutes.

On flare days or fatigue-heavy weeks, simple counts.

Low-effort meals can still give your body the nutrients and energy it desperately needs.

Here are a few no-fuss ideas:

🥙 1. Easy Wraps

Keep tortillas on hand and make a quick wrap with whatever you have—protein, veggies, beans, hummus. Fast, filling, and zero overthinking.

🥣 2. The Grain Bowl Shortcut

Boil rice, quinoa, pasta—whatever’s easiest.

Add eggs, leftover chicken, canned beans, or frozen veggies.

Mix, season, done. Nutritious with almost no effort.

🔥 3. Crockpot or One-Pan Meals

Set it and forget it. Minimal dishes. Minimal cleanup. Maximum relief.

And here’s something many people don’t say out loud…

✨ Takeout can absolutely be part of a nourishing endo flare plan.

Order enough for leftovers the next day to save energy.

My go-to when I’m wiped? Asian takeout—vermicelli bowls, stir-fries, soups—easy to add extra veggies for more fibre.

Your body deserves fuel even on the hard days. Especially on the hard days. 💛

Ever feel like You’ve tried everything to manage your endometriosis…but your body didn’t respond as expected?

This post is for you 👇
➡️ surgery
➡️ birth control
➡️ supplements
➡️ pelvic physio
➡️ acupuncture
➡️ cutting gluten, dairy, soy, sugar
➡️ even the super restrictive stuff you swore you’d never do

And yet — the pain, bloating, fatigue or flares still creep back.
It’s not because your treatments failed.
It’s because endometriosis is a LIFELONG (aka No cure) and definitely not a one-size-fits-all condition! 💛

Here’s what we don’t talk about enough:

✨ Excision surgery helps many but it can’t undo nervous system sensitization or address gut immune dysfunction.
✨ Birth control reduces symptoms for some — but not everyone responds to the same formulation.
✨ Restrictive diets: long-term food restrictions can increase stress, worsen fatigue and disrupt gut health.
✨ “Even the best supplements can’t override a poorly nourished body.
✨ (and) Too many supplements compete with each other and may interfere with your medications 💊

Here’s what you need to know: 👇
You’re not missing something obvious.
You’re not doing it wrong.

Endometriosis is complex, which means your healing plan needs to be individualized, flexible, and supportive of your whole body!!

🧡 You deserve care that meets your needs and not a checklist of things you “should” be doing.

Please tell me about Your experience with surgery or
I’d like to know What holistic treatments have worked for you ⬇️

Sounds familiar?

That’s exactly what advocating for your endometriosis can feel like.
You ask for a referral → dismissed.
You ask again → “period pain is normal.”
You ask for a second opinion →
You’re told to “wait it out,” “take the pill,” 💊 or “You don’t look sick”.

The truth is:👇

You’re not imagining your pain. You’re not exaggerating.

You’re navigating a system that too often minimizes women’s symptoms!

Do you know your 🌱 and Why aim for > 35 plant points (or more) a week? 🌱

✨Because your gut isn’t a quiet little organ…

✨ It’s basically a busy city of 40 trillion microbes all screaming, “Feed me something different!!” 😂

We’ve all heard “5-a-day,” and sure it’s cute.

But guess what, your gut microbiome/ gut bacteria (is) they’re high-maintenance.

These tiny bugs want colours, textures, flavours… the full VIP tasting menu.

And when you do give them a wider variety of plant foods, they show up for you BIG TIME. A diverse gut microbiome can help you…

💪 Train your immune cells (70% live in your gut — they basically pay rent there)

🛡️ Boost resilience to infections

✨ Produce vitamins like tiny overachievers

⚖️ Support hormone balance (hello estrogen balance)

🧠 Chat with your brain (Think mood, anxiety and pain perception)

📉 Stabilize your blood sugar, which affects cravings, and energy.

Here’s the other juicy part: 👇

“35 plants a week” doesn’t mean 35 salads.

✨ Grains, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, even cocoa powder… they all count!

✨A more A diverse gut can support inflammation, hormones, digestion, and energy, all big players in how endometriosis feels day-to-day!

🎈But… if you suffer from painful bloating + gas or constipation make sure to speak to a dietitian b/c you’ll, need guidance on how to ⬆️ fibre and plant diversity.

Warning: This is not a very sexy caption 😉

But it’s an important message to share:
I mean it: if I could start over I would definitely start pain therapy much earlie for endometriosis.

Why? because Endometriosis is much more complex than we thought!

It’s a whole body diseased that affects our “nerves” too!

Here’s what many don’t talk about: endo pain isn’t just from lesions.
It’s also triggered from inflammation-triggered nerve growth.
And central sensitization: Simply put your brain “signals” start getting “trained” to overreact.

(And) Our nervous system is activated not just through real physical danger, but through mental stresses too.

This anxiety + pelvic pain cycle is making our nervous system more reactive to signals.

Over time, this muscle tension + nerve sensitization = a self-perpetuating loop: pain → anxiety → tension → more pain…

(And) That’s not imaginary pain!
💛 The anxiety + pelvic pain cycle has rewired how our body feels pain.

The good news? With strategies like

💫 pelvic physio, nervous-system regulation,
💫 nutrition support to tame anxiety, and
💫 trauma-informed care, you can begin to shift that cycle.

Every Small steps matter. 💫

Let me know if this cycle feels familiar, pls comment 👇
