I started adding some Peat inspired ideas about a month ago. I started restricting PUFAS, added orange juice (maybe a glass every 2-3 days), milk (8 oz a day), 2 cups of coffee with liberal sugar. Three weeks after I started this I ovulated and had the worst estrogen dominance symptoms than I've had in forever. I was bloated even if I didn't eat, swollen painful breasts and terrible cramps. I stopped the coffee, milk, and oj, and pared down my sugar. I also started taking DIM. I've been on progesterone since March and haven't had these symptoms since then. Conventional wisdom says to coffee, dairy, and sugar exacerbate ED. I've never cared much of CW, but now I'm starting to wonder.
I did notice some positives like more energy, better mood, and my fingernail moons came back. Has this happened to anyone else? I've battled estrogen dominance since I started my period at twelve and now I'm 45 and fat, bloated, and depressed.
