A member asked:
For the gyn doctors. i have fibroids .what does it mean when they say limit dairy intake which is likely to make them grow?are these eggs, almond milk
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not to worry: Some dairy has a small amount of estrogen in it. The theory is that this can cause fibroids to grow. I wouldnt restrict dairy just to prevent fibroid growth.
