Now this is not the all end all answer. It's not a concrete suggestion. In short. little / less or no fruit, green vegetables. Fish, nuts, Less red meats. The keto diet might be okay but seeing as more vegetables and possibly less saturated fats is better it may put you out of ketosis with the higher carbs. When I say less saturated fats I mean less than the normal keto diet. So more unsaturated fats may be better.
Foods rich in omega 3 with anti-inflammatory effects, supplementation with N-acetylcysteine, vitamin D and resveratrol, in addition to the increased consumption of fruits, vegetables (preferably organic) and whole grains exert a protective effect, reducing the risk of development and possible regression of disease. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26841161
No clear recommendations on what diet to eat or refrain from to reduce the symptoms of endometriosis can be given, while a few studies indicate that fish oil can reduce dysmenorrhea. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17210218
A
significant reduction in risk emerged for higher intake of green vegetables [odds ratio (OR) = 0.3 for the highest tertile of intake] and fresh fruit (OR = 0.6), whereas an increase in risk was associated with high intake of beef and other red meat (OR = 2.0) and ham (OR = 1.8). Consumption of milk, liver, carrots, cheese, fish and whole-grain foods, as well as coffee and alcohol consumption, were not significantly related to endometriosis. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15254009
Also less fruit may be an option being replaced with vegetables. "Our findings also suggested that higher intake of β-carotene and fruit were associated with an increased risk of endometriosis."
"We found a decreased risk of disease with increased total fat consumption and similar associations with saturated-, monounsaturated- and trans-fat consumption. Evaluating the type of fat used during cooking and at the table, we report a decreased disease risk with butter, shortening or marga
rine use."
In summary, the present study suggests a possible inverse risk of disease with dietary fat and dairy consumption and an increased risk of endometriosis with β-carotene and higher servings of fruit/d, but these findings have not been confirmed elsewhere and require further evaluation in a prospective investigation. A more detailed understanding on the impact of dietary components and patterns on endometriosis risk is urgently needed to inform the development of population-based strategies to prevent this serious and prevalent gynaecological disease. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3374872/
