Abstract

The world of science is increasingly looking for answers to the question of how specific dietary components affect the risk of chronic diseases and assessing their potential to alleviate the severity of individual diseases. This research concerns both the assessment of the benefits of using individual dietary components and those of nutritional models. Endometriosis, due to its chronic and inflammatory nature, is also a topic of interest among scientists, who seek to support its course through proper nutrition. In endometriosis, great interest is focused on dietary patterns such as an anti-inflammatory diet, a gluten-free diet, a low-FODMAP diet, or a Mediterranean diet. An anti-inflammatory diet primarily focuses on fresh vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts, whole grain products, and healthy sources of protein and fats, including mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, eliminating highly processed products, meat products, trans fats, and refined sugars. It is believed that this type of diet may contribute to reducing the severity of endometriosis symptoms and help reduce inflammation. The aim of the review is to identify the main trends in the field of diets supporting the treatment of endometriosis in the last 5 years.
