I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in Oct. 1999 (which is a form of
IBS) and endo in Nov. 2002. I have not found that any certain foods
interfere with the endo. But I do know what I can have and not have
regarding the crohns. I didn't even consider endo as a possibility for
me. Now, looking back, I some times have a hard time distinguishing the
pain to be either the crohns or endo. I am going to my crohns
specialist tomorrow to find out exactly what to expect now with these
two diseases. My OBGYN told me that these two will not work well
together, so we shall see.
