Re: IBS and Endo??

I have IBS and endo. I never thought there would be a correlation! I was getting sick all the time, to the point where I could not make it to the bathroom more times than not. I cannot eat dairy foods (I LOVE cheese!). Mine, too, is worse with my period. IBS seems to flair up when I am having some serious endo pains. I don't know why I never thought of there being a correlation! Much wishes!

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.
