What's This All About Then??

This blog is especially for women who suffer from endometriosis, but also for anyone seeking inspiration as they journey towards healing.

We (Clara and Ellen) are sisters, and this is our joint project. Ellen has struggled with chronic pelvic pain from endometriosis for close to 15 years. This project is our answer to her pain. We decided that, even if we can't make the pain go away, we would do everything in our power to activate the body's healing mechanisms.

So what exactly is Endo Undo?

It is a year-long quest for wellness. It is about being mindful of the food and drink we put into our bodies and about how we move our bodies. It is about where we rank our own bodies in our list of life priorities (and trying to get ourselves and our overall health back to the top of that list!). It is definitely about trying new things and having fun and building a stronger, deeper, more beautiful bond between sisters. It might even be about the reduction in Ellen's pain symptoms.

Recipe: Quick Oat & Raisin Cookies

This recipe is my newest find in Carolyn Levett's Recipes for the Endometriosis Diet.  They are really crunchy and delightful.  I like to make a big batch and freeze them to have on hand for cookie emergencies.




Makes 16-18

3 cups oats
1 1/2 cups brown rice flour
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped nuts of your choice)
4 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. apple juice concentrate (I used fresh apple juice that I made with my Champion)
Apple juice to mix
Agave nectar to taste

Preheat oven to 375.
Mix all ingredients together, using just enough apple juice to make a mixture with a soft "dropping" consistency.
Divide mixture into flattened cookie shapes and place on oiled baking sheets.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden.  Place on wire rack to cool.
