I was wondering how many of you have to deal with endometriosis along with IBS. My doctor mentioned to me that some of my IBS symptoms may be related to endometriosis. I am going to the OB/GYN on November 28. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!

I am in the process of being looked at for endo. The doctor is putting me on constant birth control pills to see if without a period the symptoms decrease. I was on them without any flare ups early this year. As soon as I got off of them I had horrible IBS attacks. Hope that helps.

This has come up before, I know. You could do a Search on endometriosis on the Diet Board and the Living Room Board with no time limit and see what pops out.

I had mild endometriosis prior to many years of infertility treatments. After undergoing many many surgeries, including surgeries to remove my endometriosis, I developed IBS....slight C but my biggest problem is abdominal pain. But I wasn't diagnosed till later...my first diagnosis was adenomyosis, for which I underwent a hysterectomy, but still the pain persisted.
In my experience, OB-Gyn's don't know much about IBS and as many of us have learned, most docs of any kind don't know much about IBS. So you need to educate yourself, ask lots of questions and be your own patient advocate. Good luck.
