Hi everyone, I foolishly tried the Caramel Latte Macchiato from Gevalia without checking the ingredients. I'm not sure where I could even FIND them if I wanted to, but I haven't gotten anything back from the company. The reason I ask is because I have had cracked lips and canker sores (which was a symptom for me before) and can't find any other source...

I'm so sorry that you have suffered so much with endo I was completely prepared to wake up and hear "You have endo!"...the severity of the pain just did not make sense to me as a gastrointestinal issue. I feel terrible that I was disappointed that there was no definitive diagnosis. However now I realize that I need to take action to make myself feel better...

First of all, thanks to all who have responded, it means so much to me. I never actually saw the blood test results...my doctor (GP) called me and said things were inconclusive, so I chose to accept that as fact without any research of my own or futher questioning. Of course now I feel like an idiot for not asking him any questions! Would it be useful...

Hey everyone! I'm not sure if I have ever posted on this forum before but I have an interesting dilemma and desperately need insight. My history: I have had ovarian cysts in the past. I have had excruciating, burning, nagging pain in my left and right lower abdominal quadrant for years now. My gyno decided it would be beneficial to do a laparoscopy yesterday...

Its just a huge bummer about the infertility and miscarrying... Women shouldn't have to worry if they can have children, especially if they're young and mostly healthy. I must say, you are a lucky girl because a ruptured cyst is mighty painful although I imagine labor pain would be about 500 times worse, so I really can't complain

I have been diagnosed with endometriosis, PMDD, and premature menapause (I'm 17, so it's kind of ridiculous). I was having hot flashes, growing facial hair which was NOT okay, and even on birth control, I have rupturing ovarian cysts about every other month. God, what we women have to deal with...Men have NO idea. That was probably TMI but does anyone else...

I'm kind of just using this as a place to document and explore what I keep realizing about my symptoms. I never thought about my family history related to what's going on now. My maternal grandmother had Grave's disease and ended up getting her thyroid destroyed.. She also had her gallbladder removed and has had debilitating stomach problems her whole life...

Wow, thank you for all of that information. I didn't even think of being easily stressed, frustrated, or angered as being related, but that would really fit my profile as well. Since I am young, many of my personality quirks such as irritability and fatigue have been explained away as hormones by my doctor. I'm definitely taking a hard look at any possibilities...

Thank you!! That makes me feel a lot better. It's so nice to have a place like this with people that actually know what they're talking about because they've experienced all of it. I am hopeful for the future and getting down to the bottom of this

Hello all! It is great to find a place like this to talk and get advice. I am experiencing some annoying, slightly worrisome symptoms that I need some input on. First of all, I'm 17, and have had a "sour stomach" or "weak stomach" all of my life. I never thought there was anything out of the ordinary going on until I met someone with celiac disease. However...
