22.01.2022 WHAT DOES SICK EVEN LOOK LIKE? // Yep, people walking around on the streets that look "fine" on the outside could be battling a chronic and debilitating condition The façade that chronic illness warriors put on to get through the day is not only admirable but so believable that people may question if something is even amiss when it comes to your health Whilst these comments are certainly unwarranted and totally inappropriate, I alwa...ys love to tell people, then my acting is worthy of an Oscar then? And by the way, can I see your medical degree? How do you deal with these comments? Via @endohealthhub See more

17.01.2022 ALWAYS IN THE LOO? // Diarrhoea is defined by too frequent (3 times or more openings daily) bowel motions and/or loose stool consistency For endo warriors, diarrhoea can be a regular occurrence whether due to having IBS or just around the time of the month due to those pesky prostaglandins So, given I have shared my tips and tricks on managing constipation, I thought I would do the same for managing diarrhoea!... 1. If you're experiencing acute bouts of diarrhoea it is critical that you avoid dehydration, keep on top of your fluids and check your urine colour, you may need to use an electrolyte replenishment product with sodium, potassium and sugar to help rehydrate (P.S. this sugar is absolutely necessary, don't go zero sugar here!) 2. Work with a dietitian to manipulate your fibre intake, if you've switched to a more plant-focused diet it could be the excess fibre contributing to some loose motions, or perhaps you need to bump up specific fibre types like soluble fibre and resistant starch to help modify your poop consistency 3. Another management strategy can be a specific probiotic prescription from your dietitian, this needs to be taken daily for at least 4 weeks before you can evaluate if it is helping or not. Have you tried any of these strategies before? Tell me below! See more

17.01.2022 ENDOMETRIOSIS & MENTAL HEALTH // I see so many endo warriors struggling with depression & anxiety and other mental health concerns, particularly during these crazy times when there has been delays for surgery in particular So I wanted to share a few tips in hopes it may help some of you out there! 1. Seek Help - see a mental health care professional, they are truly such an asset to your endo team!... 2. Self-care - doesn't have to be a bubble bath but just take some time out for you! 3. Exercise - move your body how and when you can, the little hit of endorphins can make a difference to your mood! 4. Sleep - check your sleep habits and sleep routine, are you getting your 7-9 hours each night? 5. Eat well - easier said than done, but dietary quality can play a role in mental health - science says so! 6. Gut health - we know the gut and brain are inextricably linked, taking care of your tum will help you take care of your brain and mood too. Share your favourite mental health tips below, I know the other endo warriors here will appreciate it! See more

13.01.2022 WHAT NOT TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT // Food and guilt shouldn't exist in the same sentence (unless you stole the food!), and yet, I see it nearly daily in my clients! Here are the top things I hear my clients feeling bad about and what I say to them to help combat the guilt: 1. Eating a known trigger food in a social setting because you wanted it - yep, you may know you will be paying for it, but I think this is a totally different way to ...be making a food choice rather than feeling constantly paralysed and restricted because you don't know what's going on in your body! Life is too short to miss out on these kinds of memories and experiences with loved ones. 2. Eating red meat - if you're cool with eating red meat as it aligns with your values and you find you don't have any issues with it, even if everyone is telling you not to, it's your body and you know you best, if this works for you then don't feel guilty about it - keep at it! 3. Not wanting to sacrifice a particular food or drink even though you've read you should - a common one is coffee. Now, I think this one is important, even if you felt better by reducing your coffee intake, would you miss it so much that other areas of your life would suffer? Yes? Then maybe it's okay not to trial it. 4. Alcohol on a special occasion (or just because) - this is another big one, yep, we know it's a gut irritant, and not the best for endo or when trying to conceive either, but you're probably not going to go your entire adult life without being in a situation where you might want to enjoy a glass or two. And that's A-okay! We are humans first and foremost, we need to enjoy ourselves! No room for food guilt here! What have you felt guilty about eating or drinking in the past? Tell me below! See more

10.01.2022 FODMAP vs GLUTEN // Do you know the difference? Many endo warriors follow or trial a gluten-free diet to help manage some of their symptoms and notice some improvement but not a complete improvement Others trial it but don't notice much difference ... And it could be because you're missing some this little puzzle piece, the difference between FODMAPs and Gluten could be it A FODMAP is a fermentable fibre or carbohydrate found in fruit, vegetables, nuts, legumes, beans, grains and cereals Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and spelt It is a COMPLETELY different food component! Some key examples that stick out to me is that spelt bread or pasta is low FODMAP but still contains gluten Same for a small portion of cooked wheat pasta is considered low FODMAP but higher amounts are not and this still contains gluten And flip it around, you have lots of naturally gluten-free foods that are high in FODMAPs like honey, beans, garlic, onion, cauliflower, mangoes, raisins and cashews to name just a few. The middle ground tends to be rice, small amounts of corn and quinoa that are both low FODMAP and gluten-free Why does this matter? Well, you could be better managing your symptoms and you could be increasing your dietary flexibility too! WIN-WIN!

09.01.2022 LOW FODMAP VEGGIES // I'm often met with a bewildered expression from my clients on Zoom when I show them the list of foods they will need to temporarily avoid to follow a low FODMAP diet "But they're healthy" Yep, the low FODMAP diet, indeed, limits many nutritious foods including certain types of fruit and vegetables due to their fermentable carbohydrate content that can be a trigger for some sensitive individuals who also have IBS ...as well as endometriosis Here are some tips to help you make the swap! Heads up, the low FODMAP diet should not be trialled unsupervised, you MUST be working with a dietitian to avoid unnecessary restrictions, deficiencies and all round little flexibility on this diet (which is short-term by the way) I'm diving into gut health and symptoms inside my program, Get Pregnant with Endo, link in my bio to get on the waitlist today!

02.01.2022 NAUSEA // Some of my endo warrior clients struggle nearly daily with nausea So, I wanted to share with you some of my top nausea management tips with you: 1. Smaller more frequent meals, so bread and butter plate sized meals split up throughout the day.... 2. Fresh ginger, ginger tablets, ginger tea or ginger ale can be really effective in keeping nausea away 3. Sip don't scull your water and maintain your hydration throughout the day 4. Salty crackers - take them with you everywhere and leave 1 or 2 by your bedside and nibble before you wake 5. Talk to your provider about trialling vitamin B6 supplements 6. Avoid high fat foods like deep-fried takeaways such as fries and burgers and the like, these can make you feel even more nauseous! Do you experience nausea due to endo? Tell me below! See more
