Diet associations in endometriosis: a critical narrative assessment with special reference to gluten

Fred Brouns et al.

Summary: Endometriosis patients may benefit from dietary self-management strategies, including a gluten free diet. However, data is conflicting and lacks evidence for causality. Some studies suggest positive effects on symptoms and quality of life when avoiding certain nutrients or foods. Low study quality and placebo effects influence reported benefits, and long-term adherence to a gluten free diet may have negative health outcomes.
