Dear Chrissy,
I'm in the exact same situation as you regarding cyclic blood in stools
-- I, too, am convinced it is related to my endo -- my dr doesn't think
so; endo on ovaries, tube and throughout pelvic cavity; am involved in
the same study; awaiting my "2nd look" lap -- coming up at the end of
the month; also had full GI workup this past year -- however don't think
my GI has the expertise to dx Endo; I'm also in Texas; etc.......
Chrissy, would you please permit me to email you privately--
Regards,
Yenta
