I am IBS-C with endo and adnomyosis. (endometrium tissue that grows inside the uterine lining) Endo is where the endometrium tissue grows outside the uterus and can grow on your colon and other organs. If you don't mind my asking, do you have really painful periods - bad cramps, heavy bleeding? I have been a chronic C all my life until I had acupuncture last year. I now have a BM almost every day. I have learned the difference between my IBS pain and the pain from the endo. I have "period" cramps every day even while taking a high estrogen BCP. My IBS "attacks" are different. I usually get a stabbing pain on my lower left side where your sigmoid colon is. It is quite possible that you have it. I know many women who suffer from IBS also have endo. Neither is fun. I am actually going to try Lupron shots for my endo pain. Next to having a hysterectomy this is my next option. I tried Zelnorm for the chronic C but it did absolutely nothing for me. Each person is different though.
