Presentation Outline

• Case presentation
Endometriosis
Endometrial tissue is found outside the uterus
• Pelvic pain: dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, dyschezia
• Subfertility
• High Prevalence ( 4-20% )
• Incidence rate 1 per mille / year
• Limited treatment possibilities
• Ovarian cancer risk is 27-80% higher
Clinical types of endometriosis
• Subtle endometriosis : 1-3 mm superficial
• Typical endometriosis : 5-40 mm superficial lesions
• Cystic ovarian endometriosis
• Deep involved endometriosis
• Peritoneal Pockets or Allen en Master syndrome
Adenomyosis
Endosalphingiosis
Retrograde menstruation

dissemination of endometrial tissue into the peritoneal
cavity. Am J Obstet Gynecol 1927; 14:422-469.

High rate of allergies among women with endometriosis Matalliotakis 2012
Role of allergy and autoimmune infamantory diseases
(endometriosis):
• positive correlation between endometriosis and allergic manifestations,
including hay fever, sinus allergic rhinitis, and food allergy type 1
(immediate type hypersensitivity)
• women with endometriosis frequently suffer from autoimmune
inflammatory diseases, allergies and asthma
• study indicated a link between endometriosis and increased risk of
allergic autoimmune disorders (that should further be explored)
Matalliotakis et al., 2012; Bungum et al., 2014
Food hypersensitivity and IgG-dependent
immune reactions:
• No significant correlation between food hypersensitivity and fertility
problems
• IgG-dependent allergy affects about 45% of USA and Europe
population, and is twice as common in women than in men
• Immunotoxins : immune complexes formed with IgG antibodies and
fragments of dietary proteins cause systemic or local chronic
inflammation at low intensity
• No specific symptoms, possible changes in the clinical picture in the
course of the disease and localization of the lesions
• Delayed reactions : might occur 8-72 hours after the food consumption
Audit of York Nutritional Laboratory survey, conducted by the Department of Health Studies, University of York, on behalf of the British
Allergy Foundation. 2001, January
IgG-dependent food hypersensitivity and
chronic/autoimmune diseases:
Food-specific IgG & immune reactions
•Complement & anafilatoxin generation (C3a, C5a)
•Immune cells & release of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-a), proteases,
ROS-mediated reactions
•Basophils and platelets & release of amines vasomotor
Chronic /autoimmune diseases
•Functional bowel disorders (e.g. Irritable bowel syndrome)
•Inflammatory bowel disease (e.g. Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative colitis)
•Joint diseases (e.g. Rheumatoid arthritis)
•Respiratory disorders (e.g. Asthma, Chronic sinusitis)
•Dermatological disorders (e.g. Atopic dermatitis)
•Chronic medical conditions (e.g. Obesity, Atherosclerosis, Migraine headaches, Diabetes)

Vitamin D deficiency – discussion:
•
•
•
•
•
vitamin D role in the pathogenesis and treatment of endometriosis (an
immunomodulator and anti-inflammatory agent)
VDR and vitamin D metabolizing enzymes are found in endometrium
(normal cycling, eutopic and ectopic endometrium of women
with endometriosis)
the endometrium is a target of 1, 25 dihydroxyvitamin D actions
through regulation of specific genes and via immunomodulation.
the endometrium in endometriosis expresses dysregulation of
some vitamin D enzymes and receptors.
VDR-agonist was shown to reduce the development of endometriotic
lesions and recurrence (mouse model)

Treatment of Endometriosis
Our Management :
• Medical treatment : “good” CrMS chart, letrozol , LDN
• Diet
• Surgery – near contact LPS, LPT – cooperating surgeons in
Poland: Dr Dr: Baryła, Binkiewicz, Gałczyński, Gratkowski,
Klimas, Maksym, Ulman,
• Interventional Radiology: prof Małgorzata SzczerboTrojanowska, prof Jan Oleszczuk, Dr Waciński
• Psychotherapy ( some cases)
Role of diet and nutrients (endometriosis)
– our results, n= 61 (1):
Most frequently consumed foods:
•gluten grains: wheat bread, wheat pasta, wheat roll
•dairy products: cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, cow's milk
•vegetables: potato, tomato
•fruits: apple, banana
Role of diet and nutrients (endometriosis)
– our results, n=61 (2):
Conclusions:
•too high intake of processing dairy products
•too high intake of processing cereal products
•excessive intake of cereal gluten
•too low intake of gluten-free cereals (including rice, millet,
buckwheat, amaranth)
•too low a variety of fruits and vegetables consumed
•too high intake of processed meat
•small intake: fish, legumes, nuts and seeds, unrefined oils
Distribution of food-specific IgG in
women with infertility & edometriosis
– our results, n= 124
•
In patients with a diagnosis of female subfertility and coexisting
endomteriosis are elevated levels of food-specific IgG(1-4)
•
The most common “female subfertility” food allergens identified by the
diagnostic tests for serum specific IgG(1-4) antibodies are: hen’s eggs
(90%), wheat (92%), gluten & other gluten cereals (58%) milk
(72%), corn (55%), yeast (51%)

Our Individual Dietetic Program consists of:
Quantitative and qualitative analysis of individual nutrition habits
Optimization of nutritional program
Recommendations for the preconception nutrition
Recommendations for the anti-inflammatory diet
Recommendations for the elimination and/or rotation diet
Recommendations for the nutrition in the coexisting diseases (on the
basis of current scientific data)
• Consideration of the possible interactions between nutrition and
medicines taken by the patients
• Supplementation (in regard to accompanying diseases, and /or elimination
diet)
• Recommendations for the healthy life style (sport activity, appropriate
sleeping time, sun exposition, avoiding the stress, prayer time)
•
•
•
•
•
•
The expected benefits of dietary intervention
with our Individual Dietetic Program:
•Mute the allergic response and inflammation in the
digestive system
•Reduction and prevention of mucosal barrier dysfunction to
food allergens
•Improved gastrointestinal function and nutrient absorption
•Minimize the likelihood of pseudoallergic reactions
•Recovery of immune tolerance to the actually harmful food
