IBSRunner, you're not pregnant are you?!?

I can sympathize - recently I went off of my birth control pills to see if it helped my IBS. I think it did, however I wound up with excruciating pelvic pain daily, as well as daily bleeding and/or spotting. I have Endometriosis, and unfortunately as a result need to be on the pill to control it. I went back on a different pill starting on Friday, and while my pelvic pain is gone, I have been on the verge of vomiting and had a horrible headache since. I guess my body just needs to readjust.

I guess my whole point is that maybe it's not all gastro related? Have you had a gynecological workup done?

mjred - I'm curious about your food allergy testing. Would you mind telling me what you're allergic to? The reason I ask is because I just had similar testing done, though it was sent to a different laboratory. I'm waiting for the results, and I'm dying in anticipation! I'm just curious what your results showed.
