I have had the same problems too with my bowels. I have even had some numbness down my left leg when I have a BM sometimes. It has to be connected to endo in some way because it seems to get worse with my monthly cycles when my endo symptoms are worse. I also get some sort of pain on a daily basis. I wait until I can't take it anymore and then I take something. Your story sounds a lot like mine. I take fiber on a daily bases. It helps a little because if I get constipated, things are 100% worse.
