 Must read for endo sufferers
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.

This book is absolutely incredible!!! ( debbie5951 )
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!

Best Book I Ever Bought!
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!

if you only buy one book, buy this one
I bought this week 2 weeks after my laparoscopy, on the same day I had my follow up appt with my gyno, who told me I had endometriosis. My gyno could not get me out of her office quick enough, and couldnt answer any of my questions like 'does it come back? how do i stop it coming back? how do i manage the symptoms? what are my options?' The only thing she could tell me is that it was pretty certain i would be seeing her on a yearly basis for regular laps. Needless to say, i am finding a new gyno, but I still needed answers.
Dian's book answered all of my questions and more. The detailed information in the book on the body, the nervous system, the digestive system, and how everything was affected by endo, made perfect sense alongside the symptoms i have been suffering without explanation or end in sight. I had already been trying to eat well, but her strict dietary suggestions were what i needed to start and commit to a whole new way of eating.
4 weeks later, ive lost 5 kilos, my pelvic pain is gone, my digestive problems are easing, and ive just had my first period since the lap, which i was warned would be longer, painful, heavier than normal - nothing! No pms symptoms, no cravings, nothing! i guess this is what normal feels like! its fantastic. I know ive got a ways to go, but for the first time in years, i have answers and soolutions, and i am actually getting better and going forward, not backward. its a nice feeling.
