Some schools of thought e.g. Endometriosis UK say that it is still being researched and maybe a form of auto-immune disease. Given that women (and men although much less!) can have Endometriosis and it's often mis-diagnosed as IBS what have members found themselves? It's often more than just 'painful periods' and people with it find they are tired, ache and have sharp pelvic/ back pains. Given that many Coeliacs are low in Vitamin D which helps balance many of the body's hormones could there be a link with CD or other auto-immune conditions?
