4. Cut Down on Red Meat

Red meats are linked to hormonal imbalances and are known to increase inflammation in the body, both of which may contribute to an increase in pelvic pain symptoms. Aim to reduce your intake to a maximum of one to two servings per week, and I recommend that you choose organic or grass-fed meats when possible.

Foods to reduce: beef, pork, veal.

5. Eat Your Beans (and Legumes)

Beans are good for more than your heart—they’re full of folic acid, magnesium, potassium, and soluble fiber. Magnesium in particular is known to have anti-inflammatory properties and fiber, as we’ve mentioned; it also may lower estrogen levels, which can reduce symptoms of endometriosis. Legumes and beans are also low glycemic, meaning they help to stabilize blood sugars, which can reduce inflammation.

Best sources: lentils, chickpeas, black beans.
