Initial thoughts are that my intestinal pain is NOT a gluten issue, but separate from that. While acknowledging that I definately have issues with gluten, she says my pain stems from something else.
What is the something else? Her initial "hope" is that my pain is coming from endometriosis tissues that have permeated the intestinal wall - that I now have endo tissue INSIDE my intestines. Here's a link: AKA - Bowel Endometriosis. She said that once she's in there looking around that she will be able to see and remove the endo tissues, as well as anything else that maybe in there.
Further - The endo tissues permeating the intestinal wall has probably caused a (here's a link:) leaky gut syndrome. Or, did the problems with gluten cause a leaky gut??? Who knows. I don't care, I just want to repair it.
Here is another good article: LINK HERE.
So, next week is my colonoscopy. I hope they find SOMETHING so I can give it a name.
To make intestinal matters worse, I ate some soup today that went sour. I didn't drink lots of it, but several good tablespoonfuls because I couldn't decide if it was bad or not. Then I tried another jar - it was also bad, so dumped all 4 quarts. They didn't seal quite right and went bad on the counter. So, now I have diarrhea on top of my "normal" pain.
It could be worse. I'm not complaining, I'm just journaling.
