I haven't been diagnosed with endo yet (lap in 2 weeks) but for the past 3 months I get a really bad stomach 3-4 days before my period. It can get so bad that I sweat profusely all over my body (sorry tmi) and can't stop shaking with the pain. I also get terrible nausea and really struggle to eat, I'm losing weight which worries me. I can only assume it's most likely endo related due to it only ever starting close to your period. Since removing dairy and red meat from my diet 3 weeks ago this period has been slightly better so far. You could try changing your diet (if you haven't already) and see if that helps? If it gets worse and/ or you're losing weight I would make a doctors appointment just incase.

Thats sounds awful ๐ญ Yeah I think it maybe a new endo symptom I have developed fun ๐ I've had a year of losing weight I've gone from being 10st 10lb to 7st 10lb ๐ I am going to the doctors about it though because I finally thought my weight had settled but even eating a lot at christmas has lost me 6lbs ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ I have changed my diet I dont eat gluten I've cut down on red meat and dairy the only thing thats made a difference is cutting out gluten I'm not constantly nauseous anymore ๐ฎ It just comes in flares now ๐ฎ Luckily it was only that one time ๐ฎ Thanks for the reply ๐

You've lost so much weight ๐ฑ Definitely go see a doctor, it can't be healthy! Thank goodness it was just a one off, sounds like you really been through it. The doctor should be able to give you a milkshake type drink that will help you gain weight but they will most likely want to investigate what's causing such extreme weight loss. I hope you feel better soon!

I know ๐ My boyfriend says its because I eat less and have changed my diet but even when I eat a lot I feel like I lose it ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ Those protien shakes are so expensive ๐ I hope they can give me anti nausea tablets because that maybe one of the causes of my weight loss I have weeks where I'm nauseous so dont eat much but I have other weeks where I'm fine (near enough) ๐ฎ If the runs will come every period at least I will be prepared next time ๐ Thank you I hope I just stop losing weight now ๐

Could you buy protein powder? Its like ยฃ18-ยฃ20 for 1kg bag that should last you a few months. Just trying to think of alternatives to food so you're at least getting something. I'm going to speak with my doctor first but I think it's what I'm going to do. I get nausea too but only a few days at a time usually when I'm ovulating and before/ during my period - it's impossible to eat!
If you get a dodgy tummy again diaoralyte is good and plain dry foods like rice cakes - literally what I live off of. Also bananas are good too but not on an empty stomach.
I hope you get the nausea under control and start feeling better.

They are ๐ I might try it but my body for some reason hates liquidized food ๐ญAwwww I know how you feel I dont get worse nausea around my period I do though get daily nausea as well ๐ฎ Went to the doctor I've got a blood test tomorrow hopefully that will tell me if I'm anemic also theres a certain type of ibd anemia and they are going to check my thyroid because both thyroid and ibd can cause weight loss ๐ฎ Thank you I will try that next time ๐ฎMe too ๐ญ
