Why you’re so bloated with endo, and what actually fixes it.
Why it happens:
Endo lesions grow on and around the bowel. The inflammation from those lesions makes your gut hypersensitive… normal gas, food movement and digestion register as pain and bloating.
Adhesions (scar tissue) can stick directly to your bowel and physically change how it moves. And the estrogen shifts in your luteal phase slow gut motility down, which is why it’s always worst before your period.
What actually helps:
1. Low FODMAP for 2 to 4 weeks. NOT forever, just as a reset while your gut is inflamed. This cuts the fermentable carbohydrates that are feeding the gas and distension.
2. Magnesium glycinate before bed. It relaxes the smooth muscle of your intestinal wall and directly reduces the cramping and spasm.
3. Daily walking. Improves how fast your gut moves and lowers circulating estrogen. Twenty to thirty minutes is enough.
4. Castor oil packs over your lower abdomen three times a week. Anti-inflammatory, improves circulation, reduces pelvic congestion.
5. Increase your Omega-3s. Everyone is chronically out of balance, and for ends women it’s CRUCIAL we increase them to help our inflammatory load in the body.
