Holly, Some women do get diarrhea due to endo. Many women get misdiagnosed with IBS instead of endo.. Inorder to have your dr. dignose or "test" you you will have to have laproscopic surgery. It can't be discovered anyother way... no bloodtest or ultrasound. Your pain and symptoms do sound congruent to endo. symptoms. I personally don't have huge effects of D. with my cycle, but my stool is much softer during my cycle than otherwise and the doc. did not mention seeing endo. in that area. He mostly found mine around my ovaries. Feel free to e-mail me off the board if you'd like to talk more. Hang in there, and welcome to this board where you can finally talk to women who understnad truly what you're going through. ~Julie jujackso@jeffco.k12.co.us
