Rachel, I deal w/ the same stuff too. I remember being told always
during an exam that I was constipated.....I hardly ever went, if you
know what I mean. Everytime right before my period, I would be stuck in
the bathroom with diareah for atleast 1/2 hour. Also, my gyn told me
that she found lots of endo on my bowels but didn't remove it because it
was so advance. Eventually she said that I would need a coloscopy in
order to fully repair my bowels. I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT!!!!
