Tia Mowry on her Endometriosis Journey | Quick Fix

[@nikkibuensuceso3590]

I have endometriosis. I was diagnosed last year and undergone surgery last year as well. my ob removed my left ovary and fallopian tube and she told me i only had 50% chance of being pregnant. but hey, 4 months later, im pregnant.. yassssss

[@moniquesmith6055]

Endometriosis, PCOS (🙋), Ovarian Cancer, etc...All of these diseases are things that plague women, but are rarely talked about. Thanks for taking the time share your story.

[@campbecy]

These are all hormone related. Endometriosis and fibroids are caused by high estrogen. PCOS is caused by low progestrone and estrogen. I have been dealing with half diagnosed endometriosis and breast lumps for years but I decided to heal my best naturally and with herbs. My diet Is all the way different and I supplement with herbs to boost immunity and stabilize my hormones.

[@fedup4190]

@@campbecy They're not all hormone related, endometriosis is mainly due to a genetic mutation which affects development of the female reproductive organs and the cause of PCOS is for the most part unknown (however the symptoms occur due to higher male hormones in the body). For PCOS one treatment I've seen help is losing weight and taking tablets prescribed by the doctor to help regulate the hormones, it helps to regulate the periods a bit more and helps with the other symptoms

[@Tankstempo]

Fed up what tablets have your dr prescribed ? Birth control? I have Pcos and wondering ? And what kind of diet have you found works for you?

[@campbecy]

Fed up I think you guys need to do a lot more research. In theory the cause of endometriosis is unknown but it Is strongly linked to estrogen dominance. To my knowledge no one in my family has uterine endometriosis however, I started getting symptoms and all of sudden I had all the signs of endometriosis. I was not fully diagnosed because I denied the surgery and decided to go the natural route and Tia talked about it in her book. I went on a no sugar, no diary, gluten and meat diet and I will seldom have eggs, fish or chicken like every few months. During the journey I found out that endometriosis is also linked to parasites which causes the inflammation. I’ve done parasite cleanses and I have actually seen tons of eggs and parasites. I have been on a protocol to balance my estrogen and progesterone since last summer because my doctor had me on birth control before. The first few months after birth control were brutal but now my periods are regular, 50% less bleeding and wayyyy less painful. 🤗 I forgot to add that I have do not eat high estrogenic foods other than meat like most beans and soy. When I was younger I thought painful cramps and heavy bleeding were normal and would go home from high school to curl up in a ball. The reason why Pcos becomes more under control after dieting is because they are mostly over weight and eat whatever they want. The liver becomes over worked and doesn’t process the hormones well. Read Tia’s book or just research journals on internal inflammation and its link to hormone imbalance.

[@campbecy]

Te'ylor Beck Do not Take what the doctor prescribes, they’re just bandages for what will be a long term alignment. Someone I work with actually changed her diet but she wasn’t super over weight and she conceived within a few few months. She said she will be eating healthier in general going forward so it doesn’t affect her again in the future. You can also look into calcium d glucarate and DIM. You also need more estrogenic healthy foods like beens fruits and veggies, try for a minimum of 3 months and see how it goes for you. Cheers!

[@kristasmith3692]

I had surgery at 17 and at 19 and I would drink lots of teas and eat foods that would keep it at bay. I did lose weight but all 3 times I got pregnant I wasn't really trying and I was also on a birth control pill to help keep my cycle regular. Hope this helps!

I was diagnosed with endometriosis at age 27 after having terrible cramps since I was like 14 years old. So I was finally diagnosed at 27 and I was married 7 years at the time to my high school sweetheart. I was told my chances of having kids was really low. I became severely depressed with emotional and physical pain. I no longer felt like a woman and I just felt I was useless. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer during that time as well so I was going thru a really tough time. Fast forward, I'm 37 now and I have allowed my fear and depression just stop me from further treatment and being the happy person I use to be. My husband and I are now seperated and alot of it was due to me just basically checking out on life. He left and now have a child with someone else. Today I feel alot of hurt and regret because now I have to go at this alone to get my problem fixed. I wish we could have worked thru it but I guess he's happy now. So ladies, if you are going thru Endometriosis, please go to the doctor and get it taken care of and please don't let it control your life. I just don't want no one else taking the route I did out of fear. I have a doctor's appointment coming up so please pray for me. Thanks and Good luck and Blessings to others battling this condition. 🙏💯💪

I’m 23 I’ve been to SEVERAL doctors. My menstrual is the worst part of my life, I usually go to the bathroom for hours and one day in school my teacher denied me going to the bathroom and I actually ended up having a seizure and urinating on myself and that’s when I’ve noticed ok this is obviously not normal. Every doctor, my family and friends never believed me and said I exaggerate until a friend actually watched me have a seizure I fell to the floor and cracked my tooth. Till this day no one knows what’s going on but my passing out, having seizures and throwing up only occurs on my menstrual. I truly 100000% believe I have endometriosis after doing extensive research but terrified of surgery. Thank you so much for speaking out because we’re all told to take a pill and lay down or just go on birth control

[@summersnow7828]

Hi i have endometriosis and had a surgery a few years ago and it has changed my life. The surgery is done via a laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) not a big incision whatsoever. During laparoscopy, the surgeon makes a small cut around 1cm to (0.4 inches), usually near your belly button. After the surgery you feel sore for a day or two, but not that much and once you have healed completely you will not see any scars at all. 🤗

Thank you for sharing your experience. I bought your cookbook 2 years ago and read your story there. You are absolutely right, food is medicine.

My mother had a long journey with her diagnosis as well. She was in extreme pain for YEARS, but was ignored and gaslit by her doctors. They accused her of being an opioid addict, even though she's never taken any of those overprescribed medications in her whole life. They made those spurious accusations just based off of the speculation of the previous ob/gyn who also didn't do his job. Until she advocated for herself to the point of tears in the waiting room and hallway (i.e., outside of the exam room) they hadn't even conducted a pap smear. Ignoring women in severe pain is, unfortunately, par for the course in healthcare. I believe the studies show that this exacerbated when that woman is non-White or has a lower socioeconomic status. My mother's actions got her in front of the director of gynecology who LISTENED to her, paired her with two excellent physicians in her unit, and censured the doctors who abused her instead of conducting a routine examination that would've helped to identify the cause of her pain. If you're being ignored and your health is at stake let EVERYONE know and don't give up on yourself.

After missing way too much work to be acceptable and being in the ER every week for severe pain, nausea, etc and being sent home with nothing but a huge bill and feeling like the doctors really were not listening to me I finally had an ER follow up with a general PCP who took one look at me and my records and said "I bet you have endometriosis". I said endo-what?. He wasn't a "specialist" but he was a blessing and a catalyst to have my first laparoscopy to get diagnosed properly. The OB who did my lap tried to schedule me out several weeks and this Dr called her and said he wanted me in surgery within the next 48 hours. Even that OB didn't want to acknowledge my pain or my symptoms. This was back in 2010-11. There is alot more exposure and awareness now . I think the hardest part was the isolation. Feeling alone because you don't "look sick" but you have to cancel plans last minute because you cant even get out of bed. Friends simply don't understand. If I had Cancer (God forbid) then I would get sympathy and understanding but since I have a disease no one understands unless they have it, then I just look flaky and unreliable. My job pressured me once I got FMLA and tried to punish me for calling in (which is illegal and if it happens to you document everything and contact your state Dept of Labor). I found solace being on IG and seeing how many women across the globe also struggle with this disease .. it's like a support system and sisterhood when you feel abandoned by friends and family. I was told I would never have kids and would keep needing maintenance surgeries. I have not had another surgery since 2011, however I am probably due. I was also informed about changing my diet and exercising in order to keep inflammation under control. I declined the Lupron due to the horror stories and side effects I heard. I took myself off hormonal birth control (which made me feel even worse) and just put my faith in my own instincts. I think each woman has to find out what works for her , regardless of what your doctor feels and also get several opinions. I went to approx 8 different Dr's and specialists and each one has their own method and opinion so it gets confusing. Listen to your OWN body just like Tia said. Sorry this is getting long. Best of luck to everyone struggling with invisible illness.

[@incurablyawesome2024]

Thank you so much for sharing Endometriosis awareness! Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect many parts of the body. It occurs when endometrium-like tissue is found outside the uterus. The only way to properly diagnose Endometriosisis is to obtain a biopsy-proven confirmation of the disease through surgical pathology; meaning through a Laparoscopy. It is at this time that the Endometriosis Specialist can excise the Endometriosis as well - hopefully through LAPEX excision surgery.

Tia, First and foremost, may God continue to BLESS you and your family. I would like to thank you for sharing your journey regarding conceiving with endometriosis. I, too, am struggling with endometriosis. I am 33 years old and is two weeks from my 34th birthday. I have really been struggling emotionally because I really want to have children. My first surgery was at the age of 31 and that’s when I was diagnosed with endometriosis. My doctor said if you get pregnant the symptoms will improve, however the struggle is getting pregnant. As I get older, I’m only human so the thought of conceiving is constantly on my mind but I also struggle with the fact that as you get older the more challenging it is to conceive. I have done cleanses, detox, everything you can think of I have done. Due to surgery as well as additional procedures my doctor, bills are putting a financial strain on my finances. In spite of my circumstances, I will continue to give all the Glory and Praises to GOD. He would never put too much on me that I can not bear. I will continue to hold on to the faith that We will Conceive and there will be resources in place to help those who can not afford medical procedures to assist with reproducing. I thank you again Tia for sharing your story and shedding light on this topic. God Bless You and Everyone viewing this video and those struggling with endometriosis. Respectfully, Tiarra Indiana

Hi Tiarra, It's possible! Don't give up hope... I am 34 and have a 15 month old. I conceived naturally after my doctor told me I would need another surgery to have a chance.

[@rokanluver]

I love that Endometriosis is being being talked about! Especially by you! You are a sister warrior and I'm so happy that you have a beautiful family. I do want to point out that pregnancy DOES NOT cure or relieve Endometriosis, only suppress it. Every endometriosis case is different but its a big myth from doctors. Many still have the pain and stress about surgeries even after giving birth. My opinion is that it would be very hard to take care of a baby or kid when the mother continues to have debilitating pain. There are many myths out there and many doctors with different opinions with different solution to test on. Some work some don't. But one thing is true... there is NO CURE and NO real reason why endometriosis happens. I totally agree with the diet part since I've experiment it myself.. I get flares up with dairy, meat and alcohol. I think gluten too but I'm still not sure. I'm very interested in you cookbook!! Thank you Tia!!

[@MyGirlStarr]

I am so happy to hear that you listened to your body and didn't stop until you found the right physician. I had to do the same thing, I had all the symptoms of cirrhosis of the liver, but my liver was normal. My physician knew he had exhausted himself, and he actually contacted a colleague in another state. My insurance would not allow me to see her, but I knew I had to get to her. She diagnosed that I had an blood clot in my abdomen that had been there for over a year. I had numerous procedures to solve the consequences, but couldn't find a doctor in my network to do the surgery to remove the clot. Long story short, I stepped out on faith, bought expensive supplemental insurance. The doctor and her team removed the clot, and now I am healed. We must not let one doctors inability to fix it, stop us from receiving our blessing. Do the work, walk by Faith and God will do the rest.

[@lexdee523]

Tia I appreciate you so much for sharing your story about having endometriosis. Like you, I experienced the worst cramps of my life in my early to late 20's I had days that I would ball up in a fetal position on the floor and just cry out in pain. I didn't know why I was suddenly experiencing so damn much menstrual pain whereas no pain meds seems to help. I was literally losing my sanity over it and was dreading every single months that came when it was that time. Like you, I went to my doctor, only to be told the exact same things your doctor told you and none of it worked. I wish I had known to go to a specialist. When I got married and we decided to start a family, that's when I found out not only that I had endometriosis, but that my tubes were far too damaged for me to have any kids because of the years I suffered with it and had nothing done about it. It's been 20 yrs now and I'm still emotionally hurt to this day that I couldn't have any kids for me and my husband to enjoy. I don't really get over it, I just learn to deal with it. I wish someone had told me about seeing a specialist. I figured since my doctor never mentioned it, it was no need to take it further than the things she told me to do. Some doctor huh? I'm blessed to have a wonderful sincere understanding husband who stuck by me through thick n thin, the high ups and low downs. You are blessed Tia and I'm so happy that you were able to have 2 beautiful children. You are an inspiration, I love your truth and honesty. Keep sharing girly. Much love to you ❤💕🌺 🤗

[@IAmHisBeloved5]

lexdee523 sorry, to hear. Have you tried changing your diet? My husband aren’t trying to have babies right now so I don’t know if there’s any issues with my uterus or now. But I have had horrible cycles for years. I would be so nauseated that I could barely stand. I would be cramping so badly that I would be balled up in fetal position crying and found myself missing school often. I would vomit because the pain was so intense. Once I stopped eating most fast food and frozen foods (other than chick Fil a now and then) and eating mostly cooked food (like grass fed meat, lots of vegetables, fruit, beans, nuts, rice here and there, smoothies with chia seeds) I saw a HUGE difference. The only symptoms I still experience is heavy bleeding and light cramps. My cramps are WAY better than they used to be and sometimes they not last for 1 day. I take blackstrap molasses before and during my cycle and it really does take the cramps away. I would encourage you to change your diet and look into natural remedies like blackstrap molasses.

[@lexdee523]

@@IAmHisBeloved5 Thank you so kindly for your reply. As I had mentioned in my comment, it's been 20+ years now and my tubes were already damaged to the point of not being able to have kids by the time I got married. I know a lot more about it today than I did 20 something years ago. Seems my doctor didn't have much thorough knowledge about it herself to even tell me about diet changing which back then I wasn't into a lot of fast foods or fried foods too much, or to even recommend seeing a specialist about it. I'm more educated about it now so when I hear of someone I know that may be trying to have kids but are experiencing the same symptoms as I had, I come with recommendations that may help. Happy to say, because of my suggestions in cases such as this, a couple of my friends did seek out further help (through a specialist that is) and now have kids of their own. It still makes me sad that I wasn't able to enjoy the experience of motherhood but I'm happy for others I've helped who were able to. I'm in a good place in my life now. Outside of not being able to conceive, I have no regrets. But I do strongly encourage women to research and educate themselves and seek out further help if ever they find themselves in the same situation. I do wish you (and your husband) the best when the time comes that you two do decide to have kids. I would also like to add if I may. If you have any concerns about your tubes or uterus, you can make an appointment with your doctor to discuss having tests done to determine if everything is ok in those areas in the event that you choose to have kids down that road. Good luck to you.

Tia, I can't thank you enough. I've had severe cramp periods for years. My mom always said she always did so I just thought it just was what it was. But one too many periods of having to stay at home from work, going to the emergency room after fainting of pain, and barely being able to drive (like what happened today and how I stumbled upon your story)> I feel my body saying enough is enough there must be something that can be done. So many people have told me I probably have endometriosis but I have barely had enough money for one visit to the doctor let alone a surgery. I am a big firm believer in food is medicine as I've seen it help in my mental health, overall health, etc. My problem right now is sticking to it as I'm so busy and keep using food as comfort from other problems I'm facing in my life. :( Hearing your story, however, has motivated me to really dedicate this time each week on meal planning for my body. I know it may not be the one & only solution as I do need to go to the doctor, but while I'm saving up more money to spend on my health, at least food I can work on as it is a planned expense already. Just needs more time to plan out the meals. So thank you again so much for your courage in sharing your story (and also that you can cheat a little cause I'm all I don't know how I can live without sharing in some foods w/ friends every now & then!!) & helping me feel way less alone - that feeling of being alone is the worst especially when people make you feel lazy when all you can do is lay in bed for hours but it's because the pain is so bad or just exhausted from enduring the pain!!!

I just had a hysterectomy for my Endometriosis. I have had this for 10 years, and I agree with you, trust in yourself and don't get discouraged. I have a love/hate relationship with Dr.s. Thanks for sharing! 💜

[@cocoford1231]

That's the best way to put it love/hate. I received no counseling or anything and the mental anguish of not bearing a child is worst than the surgery.

Thank you for sharing this! I just found out I had endometriosis 3 years ago and I’ve been having these symptoms since I was 13. You have convinced me to change my diet, time to go buy your book!

[@jeralynnebazoff6490]

I’m so happy that you shared this!!!! I also got a second opinion with my endometriosis!! I’m so happy that I did! I didn’t have just terrible terrible periods it actually hurt during intercourse... I know that’s TMI but that was one of my main symptoms Thank you so much for sharing your story! I think I will make my own video!

[@macyjefferson4564]

jeralynne bazoff have you seen any improvement with the painful intercourse since being diagnosed? That’s been a symptom for me as well and I’m just curious!

[@soumodiptadey8660]

Try to drink home filtered water not plactic bottles try to avoid all plastic marteials they all contain a chemical called BPA the most dangerious chemical. If you can try to sleep 8 hours at night.

Tia, I struggled for five years after my children were born. I was diagnosed with endometriosis early April of this year. I am having a hysterectomy in October, due to endometriosis and other issues. More women need to know more about endometriosis!!!! Thank you for shearing! God bless you!!!

[@senecat8071]

I’m suffering with post surgery endometriosis it’s come back I feel it! I’m so sad because it’s affecting my ability to provide for my family. Your story was a beacon of hope telling me that (I’m not imagining this)it’s important to listen to my body and do not give up

[@angieesquivel4625]

Thank you so much for this info. I just got diagnosed with endometriosis. I have one baby and thought that this diagnosis was the end of having babies but you have given me hope.

[@anesusibanda236]

You’re so strong for this! and your babies are beautiful 🤗♥️

[@Ashley-og9ti]

Wow I had no idea she had endometriosis. I know it affects so many women , but no one talks about it! The pain - simply indescribable and unbearable. It is literally debilitating. Stay strong women are the STRONGEST on earth 💙

[@TheCrystalbrit06]

I'm here a year after you posted this, but I'm glad that I did. I was diagnosed with Endo in 2017 after having been misdiagnosed with PCOS for 11 years. My situation sounds a lot like yours. My surgery results lasted about w years and I am seeing my specialist again. All of the things that your doctor told you to do are the things that I use to help relieve pain during periods. I have changed my diet to be less inflammatory. Trying to eat a lot more veggies and fruits. Cut out red meats. It has been a journey and I am continuing on it. I think it is so good to hear other women's stories. We should all learn from one another and uplift each other. God bless you.

This video helped me a lot!! I was officially diagnosed about 6 months ago with endometriosis. But I’ve been hospitalized and have been put on hormones since I was 15. Ive been extremely lucky to have found a doctor that has been very aggressive with my treatment and has BELIEVED me since the very beginning along with letting me know that this isn’t normal. I’m also a very competitive tennis player and I remember being in the middle of practice and have to stop because I just couldn’t walk. Also being in 5th grade and have to go to the bathroom for hours crying because I was in soooooo much pain and the teacher not believing me .I’ve very appreciative that you made this video and was honest about what you have been through. I know I have a long journey ahead of me but this video made it seem possible. Thank you!!
