Symptomatic endometriosis in women of fertile age through the prism of autoimmunization to food allergens: Literature review
This review correlates carbohydrate metabolism disorders and food allergen autoimmunity with symptomatic endometriosis progression, suggesting a link to endocrine-immune axis disruption and recommending elimination diets.

This article is a systematic literature review from the past 10 years that synthesizes evidence on endometriosis etio-pathogenetic mechanisms, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary links between carbohydrate metabolism disorders and food-related intolerances/autoimmunization. The authors report that, in women of fertile age with symptomatic endometriosis, there is a higher frequency of carbohydrate metabolism disturbances and food intolerance, and they describe a trend toward increasing incidence and “younger” presentation that they attribute to diet and lifestyle factors, noting that carbohydrate metabolism abnormalities are associated with autoimmunization and immune dysfunction. They further summarize literature and their own retrospective observations suggesting a role for food allergens such as gluten, fructose, and lactose in the manifestation and progression of symptomatic endometriosis, with more severe disease, higher metabolic risk, and lower quality of life in affected women. A stated focus of the article is the concept of normalizing carbohydrate metabolism through an elimination diet excluding potential disruptor foods, but it is a review rather than a controlled trial. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews links between symptomatic endometriosis and autoimmunization to food allergens and carbohydrate metabolism disorders.
