Nutrition and Endometriosis
July 30th, 2004 by gina.revill
I’m just about to finish work on this balmy Friday afternoon. And I’m tired but not more so than what is considered normal for the end of the week. This is a new thing for me-the memory of utter exhaustion and pain is still recent and I am sitting here at my desk feeling very grateful that I was able to receive the right treatment when I know many women do not. So forgive the philosophical tone of my blog this afternoon.
This book was recommended to me by the specialists at Oxford Clinic in NZ where I had my recent operation. It is fantastic. And following the advice in it has quite simply changed my life. If you have this condition-read it!

I’m pleased for you, I know what its like to have your whole diet turned upside down for the sake of health.
I dreamt the other night of steak, chips and eggs, followed by a self saucing chocolate pud.
I find the restriction of alcohol the hardest.

Yeah I know what you mean-I feel most rebellious on Sundays too for some reason-I feel sulky and want to have a big pub meal and a few pints. It’s easier in NZ though to avoid drinking don’t you think? I feel a right wally here going to a gorgeous country pub and ordering water…

But if changing your diet means consuming those substances which you left in our fridge…well I’d rather eat my toenails. I mean, they’ve all started to fight. And not just amongst themselves. How’s the green stuff coming along anyway?
Brrrrrrp. Ahhhhhh.

I’m with you Shaun…. our fridge is inundated with all sorts of substances masquerading as Gina’s healthy diet. The threat of drinking that green stuff in the morning is enough to make any self-respecting liver cleanse itself!
Still, I’ve got to say that Gina has come back looking particularly gorgeous and healthy, so it must all be doing some good.

Gina’s travels read like a childrens story. A trail of substanses left behind for Gina to find her way home again. Trouble is that these substances tend to mutate and move about a bit.
It is believed that this is a defense mechanism. If it can move about and blend into its environment, then there is little chance that it will be consumed. In the end it was our fridge which up and left. It just couldn’t take it anymore. Now it is a gamble when walking into the kitchen whether we are the hunters or the hunted.

Shaun, you were always one for hyperbole but this has gone far enough…one more comment about my lovely green things and I’ll put a photo on my blog of you with your 80s hair do…

Maybe it’s all the green stuff that’s made your hair turn red???
Have you posted a pic of your stylish new hair do yet?

Actually Chalkgirl, I think that the green stuff has got more than just changing hair colour to answer for.
