Estrogen is linked into Digestive problems Look into that on searches I had to find out the hard way. I was diagnosed with IBS but my thoughts on IBS is we don't know the problem so this sounds good what a crock.. I had my Gallbladder removed 1994 and when the pain returned I had to find out the hard way the common bile duct can have stones and produce it's own. ACK I just was in the hospital with another bought of this.. I had an ERCP which is cutting the Sphinter of Oddi muscle one year ago. I just went into the hospital and had a EGD which they found inflammation and ulcers in my esophagus and as the problem still is ongoing I know it's stones or sludge in the common bile duct but gotta play these immature doc games until my November appointment with the G.I. doc where I'll be in a fight to get another ERCP done as the EDG doesn't scope the common bile duct. I've had consipation to the point of no return and diareah and pale stools and you name it but to be heard and treated for what I'm screaming about is like pulling teeth. Estrogen can affect the liver and bile and all that business but you know it's just IBS what ever.. Do your homework it's out there and you will begin to see this whole estrogen issue popping up and hello it's with endo too and why these dummy docs dismiss it is way beyond me so keep fighting the good fight and arm with knowledge. Just b/c you don't have that Gallbladder doesn't mean you will be free of the stones. I too thought once that issue got the solution of removal I'd never know that pain again and thought I was loosing my mind to find myself back in with the same pains I had over Gallbladder disease. I can hardly eat and these doctors wont listen as I drop mass weight and fight daily with food like some anorexic..Who wants to eat when it's gonna cause serious pain and discomfort for hours afterwards. I'm so sick of eggs, yogurt and toast I could scream. Also I had a ultra sound before my ERCP that showed NOTHING to have the scope and have stones and sludge so don't 100% rely on those tests b/c they had me thinking this was all some mental thing when in fact it was NOT...Of course those around my were highly assured I was anorexic when I sat crying over food I want to eat but wouldn't dare b/c of pain...Check out Gastroenterology and educate yourself on all the Digestive disease and disorders and see which matches what symptom wise for you. I think I was in shock going my doctor dismissed this symptom and here it says it's this. One doctor told me Fiber was a cure while another thought I must be eating Curry b/c of the yellow Stool Dummy couldn't figure out the bile was dumping in my system after a blockage let loose. Listen to your body.. Hugs Sudsey
