Sometimes you just can't win...

...can you?

I've had a significant improvement in my symptoms of endometriosis and an ovarian cyst whilst on Atkins. A recent post mentioned the loss of oestrogen on early stages of the plan, and lower oestrogen levels can improve these symptoms - so yippee I thought!

Anyway, today I found some Xylitol at a local health store (was actually looking for tinned pumpkin, but as it is the first time I've seen the Xylitol, I bought a packet) Sometimes (eg 'pancakes' ) it is the 'crunch' of sugar I miss - and this is crunchy! My splenda is just powder.

Anyway, looking on the web I see that it apparently promotes oestrogen levels. Oh

So I suppose I'll just have to try it and see if I notice any negative changes or not, and take it from there. Off to find a site to order some Stevia!

Whew! I saw your post and was afraid that the endo was somehow worsened by the WOE and it was causing BIG problems. Although the loss of crunch on pancakes is no trivial matter I am glad it isn't a serious problem with the WOE and your health.
