Bowel endo & hormone therapy

[Kloe1998]

Hello, i have bowel endo & endo on my right overy as well as polyscystic ovaries. TMI but my symptoms are 'bad belly', bloating, nausea, stomach pain etc etc. I was wondering if anyone has taken any hormonal therapies which has worked for you if you have similar symptoms to me? I'm wanting to take something to help my symptoms and doctors I go to dont seem to know what they're doing so I need some actual life experiences to help with my decision! Thank you

I have endo on my bowel and am waiting for surgery. Before I was put on zoladex I used Rheal products. It helped with bloating and some of the cramping. I used both of the ones recommended for stomach issues.Zoladex has calmed my endo down a lot but I still get bowel pain.

Hi Kloe, I've been taking buscopan for years, even before I was diagnosed (it's an IBS anti-cramping med, also works on period-pain type symptoms). It's available over the counter but much cheaper if you can get it prescribed. It does ease up symptoms when I'm flaring up, I'll still get some bloating but no pain, and the loose stools are less dramatic.

I was prescribed a separate anti-nausea med, which I take occasionally too.

Hope this helps, all about finding the right cocktail for the day...

All the best,

Zoe

Thanks so much Zoe. Will speak to the docs about this to try and get it on prescription. Thank you ♥️
