Endometriosis diet and calcium intake
If you are concerned that your intake of calcium will be insufficient on the endo diet due to cutting out dairy products, there are many foods that do contain calcium which are allowed on the diet.
Alternative sources of calcium can include:
- Dark green vegetables (i.e. spinach, broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, greens, beets are high in calcium)
- Sesame seeds
- Almonds
- Figs
- Seaweed
- Tahini
Fish such as sardines, salmon, oysters, trout, prawns, and tuna are all high in calcium. All fruits contain some calcium; dried figs and cooked rhubarb are particularly high.
Many different breads and grain all contain calcium and so do nuts, seeds and legumes.
