Hi,
I have so many questions but I will start with 2. Have either of you
been diagnosed or tested for gastroparsis? I was but I think finding all
the info on Endo in the bowels that that is the real problem. After
calling my gyn today and being "fit in" on Friday I am nervous that this
is the correct diagnosis although happy at the same time. Maybe the
surgery would be the cure!! We will see. I've had endo since I was 20
or so and had surgery. I guess my question is have you been tested
gastroparsis and if so what was the end result? To the second poster I
too have ALL the symptoms you have and use to take meds to make my
stomach empty. 2. Have you thought about or are you planning on
surgery? I also have been experiencing severe pain during sex. Has this
happened to you? Thanks
Shannon
