Does the subject mean I'm a little confused? :-) My kids might agree.

>>I'm Sorry but I am a little confused now! When asked back in January you said that depending where the endo was on the bowel that it could cause diarrhea.

INvading the bowel causing definable physical abnormalities which would translate tho functional problems. With a negative colonoscopy, that is ruled out. I hope that clears up the confusion.

>Unless the endo lesion is in the bowel(Which was stated could cause an obstruction)the colonoscopy would not detect this Am I correct?

Laparoscopy detects it on the serosa (outside of the bowel). Colonoscopy detects in in the mucosa (inside the bowel).

>I am just trying to make sense of a very frustrating situation here.I have tried citrucel to try to regulate but it has not helped.It just doesn't seem normal to me to have diarrhea for so long.Peggy

Hope the answers above helped with any confusion brought by the limitations of internet medicine. If I haven't cleared it up yet, let me know what still isn't clear and I'll try to help. :-)
