I have a uterine fibroid(s) and severe bleeding 2 or 3 days a month. I have heard that caffeine can cause fibroids and have quit drinking my 1-2 Mt Dew a day. Will discontinuing caffeine actually make my fibroids shrink? I am also doind castor oil packs on homeopathic advice- can these help shrink the fibroids. I have no pain, just this terrible bleeding. Periods are fairly regular, though cycles are a bit short and total period lasts about 10 days. Thanks for any help or info, I'm kind of new to this all.- Cindy
