I have endo and have been sick for 4 months

[HollyM1983]

Hi i'm a 24 year old female and have had 3 lap surgeries for endo. I've been sick for months now and they can't find anything wrong with me. I was wondering if anyone has GI endo and what there symptoms were or are? Please help

Thanks for the comment back. I have a lap surgery scheduled for this monday. To see what is going on. I'm hoping that they find out where all this is coming from. They really dont know. So well will see. You didn't have endo any where else in the abdomen?

I have endo on the bowel.  The symptoms for me (and they say they were severe) were extreme constipation and stomach pain around the belly button daily.  During my cycle, my endo would become inflammed, squeezing my bowel shut and my system would "back up" causing me to vomit uncontrollably until I could get to the ER.  Once at the ER, they would put tubes down my nose and suck out the contents of my intestines until my endo would become less inflamed and my bowels could move properly again.  It took my Dr's 3 years to diagnose me. In hindsight, the key factors were.  1. increased pain during cycle, and 2.  the only non narcotic way to eleviate pain was with Advil.
All colonoscopies, endoscopies and capsule endoscopies came back as normal.  Reason being, all trouble was outside the GI tract not inside.  The only way they finally found my endo, was to do a laproscopic exploratory surgery.
