IBS And Endometriosis?
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

anyone else struggle with IBS and endometriosis? Recently had a colonoscopy and endoscopy to determine symptoms and investigate. No new huge changes, we've changed my IBS meds, which seemed to help at first. Now I'm having all my symptoms again: bloating after every single meal (like CRAZY bloating), nausea is back, cramps. But I'm unsure if it's my IBS or endometriosis. I've also had surgeries in the past for the endometriosis. I'm just unsure what to do now.

I know personally I retain a lot of fluid during my flare ups. But I've gained and I really don't eat much when I do. I've gain up to 20lbs being sick and all I can do is sleep through it.

Also had a test for my pancreas and that is normal as well
I am seeing a different GI doctor now and am scheduled for Colonscopy soon. He thinks my issue is likely IBS… read more

Why Is It I Alway Feel Like I Have Too Go Too The Bathroom I Am Like This All Day Long

What To Do Next??
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

I am at a bit of a loss here. I have been on this "investigation" of why my stomach sucks for the last 2 years but have suffered silently for the last 15 years.

I have had an endoscopy done a year and a half ago. This revealed a hernia in my stomach. There was not much mentioned to me about this, if it was of any cause for concern or how to manage any symptoms that I am having that could be related to it.

Three months ago, after bringing back to the table that I am still having stomach… read more
