Hi everyone, I'm not sure if you remember me. I have had IBS since I was 3 years old. I recently had the endoscopy, and was told I have gastrits, and IBS. They gave me bentyl. Nothing got better only worst. I started having horrible problems with my bladder and stress incontinece (sp) and period cramps all the time. I feel pain on the right, left, middle you name it. D that will not let up, and leg and pack pains that lay you up! I thought, geez my IBS is getting really wierd, the nausea comes on heavy around my period, and goes away after it's done. I started thinking, maybe I should see my gynecolgist. Well, I did. Turns out I am producing way to much estrogen all the time. Not only that. I have cysts on both overies, and all around them. Here's the kicker, they say I have endometriosis, everywhere, bowel, overies, uterus. That explains my miscarriage last year. I never knew endo could spread to your bowels, but it has and it's what's causing these bowel problems. They put me on Mircette, it's a low dose BCP. And now I have to under go more tests, and what they like to call (yeah right) minimaly invasive procedure where they cut me. I love being ill. That's a joke.Pray for me, and I'll be praying for all of you! And please if you are a woman, and think your bowel problems are only IBS and they are tied into your periods, you should be checked by your gyn! Lenise
