There are lots of ways to treat endo if it turns out you have it. It can cause pain in really weird places. I end up spending 1-2 days a month in bed feeling sorry for myself in pain. At least once a year it's so bad I can literally not walk for at least half a day.

 

I used hormone birth control for a long time as treatment and it was quite effective. I can no longer use it and instead have turned to home remedies and such to get me through until I can find a suitable surgeon I like. I am electing for radical surgery because of my age and circumstances, and simply having my uterus removed. I don't need nor desire a uterus or period any more, as they are nothing but trouble and pain.

 

If your doctor diagnosis you, you'll be able to work with them to find the best course of action for you. But use the internet and reputable websites with valid medical information to be informed so that you aren't just doing what you're told.

I agree, don't just go with the first treatment your doc tosses out. Start with the least invasive approaches, my advice. If they do a laparoscopy they'll probably try to remove what they can during the procedure.

My OB/GYN is going to revisit the possibility at my 6 week ultrasound. The report said the cyst was possibly endometrieom.

Right now they are looking at my kidneys and bladder. Along with this pain I had blood and protein in my urine and it's foul smelling. I'm also lightheaded.

I'll update when I find out what's going on! At least I know where to come for advise if I have endo!

Well, bladder and kidney issues can definitely make you sick and miserable. I hope they figure it out soon, and you feel better.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
