Customer Rating:      Summary: Disappointed Comment: I found this book to be very technical and a hard read. I was hoping for a quick reference book to access when I wanted to look something up regarding what to eat. There are a few recipes but they seem to oppose what I have read about the diet for endometriosis. Many of the recipes contain eggs and other dairy products which are supposed to be pro-inflammatory.
The general scientific nutritional advice is good, but it does seem to relate to general health problems. A good book if you want to find out about nutrition.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Must read for endo sufferers Comment: I bought this book shortly after being diagnosed with endometriosis and having a lap to confirm stage III. Prior to my dx, I had been trying to concieve for 2 yrs and tried acupuncture, herbs, supplements and various types of fertility diets. This book explains the condition in almost academic detail, but that's what I like about it. It takes awhile to get through and I started by reading the most relevant chapters first on the condition and how it effects the reproductive system. Then I went straight to implementing the diet recommendations. I followed the diet suggestions that I felt best applied to my symptoms and goal of getting pregnant and of course preventing the return of the endo. I felt great on the diet but it's hard to say if it was the surgery or the diet or a combination of both but I was pregnant 2 months later. That pregnancy ended in miscarriage but I am back on the diet and actually going back to read some of the chapters I skipped over. I still think it's the best resource book you can own on endometriosis and recommend to everyone I know suffering from this mysterious and painful condition.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good advice, hard to follow Comment: Great advice, hard to change your life that much. Guess I am not hurting that bad or I would change my diet. lol!
Customer Rating:      Summary: This book is absolutely incredible!!! Comment: If you buy just one book about Endometriosis, please let it be this one! I have read a lot of books about this disease and this is still the one that goes into the most detail and the best explanation of the disease process. Don't be fooled by the title....this isn't just a nice little cookbook. This is a scientific study into the relationship between Endometriosis and the food, chemicals and substances we consume, and why so many of them are inflammatory to this condition. I found this work to be absolutely fascinating and invaluable.
In fact I was so inspired by it that I flew to London to meet with the author myself for an apoointment and really had a wonderful experience. I found Dian to be extremely compassionate and knowledgeable, and she seemed to be able to finish my sentences before I did! What a great insight this lady has. Because of her I discovered that I had many food intolerances I didn't know I had and cutting them out has made a huge difference to my pain and energy levels. Thank you Dian! This book should be renamed The Endometriosis Bible, because if you are serious about taking control of your disease process, you need to buy this book!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best Book I Ever Bought! Comment: This is seriously the best book I ever bought. There is so much great information in here. Not just for women with endo, but for almost any health issue. Everything is hormone related. If you have endo and you suffer from other things too, I bet they will all go away if you follow the advice in the book. I am pretty anal and follow it to a T. Once I did the elimination part, I felt so good that I decided to keep my diet that way. I give myself 1 cheat a week now, but I will never go back to the way that I was. If you would have asked me 6 months ago if I were going to be able to keep it up I would have said no way. I feel so good that I know I will ALWAYS keep it up!
