hello all, i don't get constipated from my endo (quite the opposite actually!), but a friend of mine who does recommends slippery elm, a herb which i think you can get from health food shops in tablet form. apparently peppermint oil is also good for treatment of irritable bowel symptoms - i found it made my pelvic pain worse, go figure... also re the retroverted uterus - i have one too, but i always thought it wasn't 'caused' by the endo, it naturally occurs in a percentage of women, but there are theories that it increases your chances of retrograde menstruation? anyway, good luck, pain free wishes to you all kate At Wed, 31 Oct 2001, Jamie wrote: >
