What is an estrogen flair reaction in relation to taking DIM?
A. Women with fibroids often have to deal with bloating just before the period begins, and this can be intense, especially for women taking DIM. When estrogen dependant fibroids do not get the estrogen they want, due to the effects of DIM, they will cause swelling and bloating know as the “estrogen flair reaction”. This usually occurs right before the start of your period if you are limiting the estrogen every way possible, through diet, DIM, and other supplements. If this happens to you, don’t worry that your fibroid is growing; this swelling will improve about mid-way through your period.
