English singer songwriter Jessie J, who’s been undergoing breast cancer treatment, has spoken to Women’s Health about her endometriosis and adenomyosis, which were diagnosed when she was in her 20s.
She revealed that her doctor at the time suggested a hysterectomy.
Instead, she chose to ego on a vegan diet, which she claims helped reduce her pain, inflammation and heavy symptoms to the point where she could walk comfortably again and, years later, go on to carry a pregnancy to term. She is now a mum.
While there’s no evidence that a vegan diet cures endometriosis or adenomyosis, we do know that a healthy, balanced diet can help reduce inflammation, which may ease symptoms for some people.
Reducing alcohol, cutting out ultra processed foods, processed meats and sometimes dairy or gluten may help some women, while diets that are plant forward and rich in whole foods may support less inflammation and healthier hormone balance.
Again, I’m so grateful that Jesse J has shared this, bringing more awareness to this condition.
If you think you may have endometriosis, adenomyosis or ongoing pelvic pain, please ask your GP for a referral. I’d be honoured to support you on this journey.
Love, Dr Raewyn 💖
