Hi, Does anyone else have digestive pain that accompanies your endometriosis pain?
I'm trying out the Cara Care app (tracks food, medicine, supplements, mood, poops, digestive symptoms, exercise, etc). I'm starting to suspect that a significant proportion of the pain I have is from my digestive system. Before, I could really only say if it was an ache in the abdomen, or a stabbing feeling in the abdomen.
Although this is odd, it gives me a little hope that maybe I can identify what the digestive pains are & try to reduce those. The endo topic itself is waiting for an MRI scan, so not much I can do about that at the moment (besides hormonal treatment).
The first conundrum I have is that I feel better (digestive system less sore) when I eat 1/2 size meals. Of course, the problem with that is being hungry, so not an ideal long-term solution.
I was just wondering if anyone else was exploring this connection? I read that women with endometriosis often have digestive issues, and often Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Has anyone managed to get a test and treatment for SIBO?
