Endometriosis Symptom Tracker

Understand how your diet, cycle, and lifestyle influence your endometriosis symptoms. Track inflammation triggers, pain patterns, and hormonal connections to build a personalized management approach.

Why Track Your Endometriosis?

Endometriosis affects approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, yet diagnosis takes an average of 7-10 years. Diet and lifestyle modifications can significantly reduce symptom severity, but triggers are highly individual. Systematic tracking across your menstrual cycle reveals patterns that generic advice cannot capture.

What to Track for Endometriosis

Food & Anti-Inflammatory Diet

Specific foods, inflammatory vs. anti-inflammatory choices, dairy, gluten, red meat, alcohol, processed food intake

Pain & Symptoms

Pelvic pain severity, bloating ("endo belly"), fatigue, GI symptoms, pain location, pain type (sharp, dull, cramping)

Menstrual Cycle & Hormones

Cycle day, period pain, flow heaviness, ovulation symptoms, hormonal medication effects

Stress & Mental Health

Stress levels, anxiety, mood changes, pain-related distress, coping strategies used

Sleep & Energy

Sleep quality, pain-disrupted sleep, fatigue levels, energy patterns throughout the cycle

Medications & Supplements

Hormonal treatments, pain medications, anti-inflammatories, supplements (omega-3, turmeric, NAC), timing

How Our AI Helps

Cycle-Phase Symptom Mapping

AI overlays your symptom data onto menstrual cycle phases, revealing whether certain foods or activities are problematic only during specific hormonal windows.

Inflammation Driver Identification

Correlates pro-inflammatory food intake (red meat, sugar, alcohol) with pain severity over multiple cycles, building an evidence-based picture of your dietary inflammation triggers.

Flare Prediction Patterns

Identifies combinations of cycle phase, stress, sleep quality, and dietary factors that precede your worst flares, helping you take preventive action.

Treatment Response Tracking

Measures symptom trends across cycles to objectively assess whether dietary changes, supplements, or medical treatments are producing measurable improvement.

Common Endometriosis Triggers

These are frequently reported endometriosis triggers. Track them to see which affect you:

Red meat and processed meats(Food)
Dairy products(Food)
Gluten-containing grains(Food)
Alcohol(Drink)
Caffeine in excess(Drink)
Refined sugar and processed foods(Food)
Soy products (phytoestrogens)(Food)
Trans fats and fried foods(Food)
High-FODMAP foods (bloating)(Food)
Emotional and physical stress(Stress)
Intense exercise during flares(Activity)
Environmental estrogens (plastics, pesticides)(Environment)

Latest Endometriosis Research (2025-2026)

Recent advances are expanding treatment options and understanding of endometriosis:

Anti-Inflammatory Diet Trial (2025)

Diet Research

Randomized controlled trial shows that a Mediterranean-style anti-inflammatory diet reduces endometriosis pain scores by 30-40% over 6 months. Participants who eliminated red meat and increased omega-3 intake showed the greatest improvement.

NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) Studies

Supplement Research

Building on earlier Italian research, larger trials confirm NAC supplementation reduces endometrioma size and pain severity. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties appear to modulate endometriotic tissue growth.

GnRH Antagonists: Elagolix & Relugolix

Treatment

Oral GnRH antagonists offer dose-dependent estrogen suppression without the bone density concerns of older GnRH agonists. Five-year data shows sustained pain reduction with add-back hormone therapy maintaining bone health.

Gut Microbiome-Estrogen Connection

Microbiome

Research reveals the "estrobolome" - gut bacteria that metabolize estrogen - plays a role in endometriosis progression. Dysbiosis can increase circulating estrogen levels, suggesting microbiome-targeted therapies may complement standard treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does food affect endometriosis symptoms?

Certain foods promote inflammation and elevate estrogen levels, both of which can worsen endometriosis. Pro-inflammatory foods (red meat, trans fats, refined sugar) and foods that influence estrogen metabolism (soy, alcohol) are commonly reported triggers. Tracking your diet against symptom severity across your cycle reveals which foods drive your personal flare patterns.

What is the endo diet?

The "endo diet" typically emphasizes anti-inflammatory foods (fatty fish, leafy greens, berries, turmeric) while reducing red meat, dairy, gluten, alcohol, and processed foods. However, triggers vary between individuals. Systematic tracking helps you determine which eliminations actually improve your symptoms rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

How do I track symptoms across my menstrual cycle?

Log your cycle day alongside daily symptoms (pain, bloating, fatigue, GI issues) and food intake. Our AI overlays your symptom patterns onto your cycle phases, revealing whether certain foods are problematic only during specific cycle phases (e.g., luteal phase) when estrogen and progesterone levels shift.

How long does it take to see dietary improvements?

Most dietary interventions for endometriosis require 2-3 full menstrual cycles (roughly 2-3 months) to properly assess. Inflammation reduction is gradual, and you need multiple cycles to distinguish dietary effects from normal cycle-to-cycle variation. Consistent tracking makes these gradual improvements visible.

Can tracking help my doctor with treatment decisions?

Absolutely. Detailed food and symptom data across multiple cycles gives your gynecologist or endometriosis specialist concrete evidence about your trigger patterns, pain severity trends, and treatment response. This data supports more targeted treatment decisions and helps evaluate whether interventions are working.
