I had stuggled with endometriosis from the time I was a teenager. Several surgeries later and finally a hysterectomy I was found to have endometrial and ovarian cancer. The doctors stated was a rare form and was not a genetic form. THANK GOD the cancer was only in the beginning stages. I still struggled with pain, stomach bloating. All doctors dismissed my stomach issues as IBS. finally through my own research I found the issue. I had to tell the doctors that this is what it is and I want to be tested. My doctor just blew me off, but through persistance I had a blood and GI test which to my doctors suprise came back as positive for Celiac Sprue. The diagnosis was confirmed only 6 months ago. I will turn 40 this year. So as to answer your question, I believe that endometriosis and Celiac are linked as well as ovarian cysts and cancer
