After my laperoscopy to remove my gall bladder, an Ovarian cyst and excess tissue, along with my Gyn's discovery of endometriosis and a chocolate cyst on the colon, everything was smooth sailing so to say. in the past few months I have been struggling with bouts of diarrhea, cramping and mucus/bloody stools. At least one or two days a week. The college health center put me on Donnatol and that helped but it is still happening... I have tried cutting out dairy and fats (without a gall bladder they are not digested well) but no change, I mentioned maybe another absess on my colon due to the endo and all i got in response was "could be" but no investigation or referrals. Don't cha just love when you know something is wrong but docs don't take you seriously? I have always had GI issues as well, including severe constipation as a child.

I am also on Topamax. How long were you on it before u lost 30 lbs? I'm so excited its actually working for my migraines, and I'm being extremely cautious and aware of the side effects. Especially, I am awaiting for me to experience the "stupids." Hi. I am also on Topamax. How long were you on it before u lost 30 lbs?

I go into surgery 1 to 2 times a year to have it cleaned out. Tried everything and this am having the same bloody stool and bloody mucus. Had hamburger helper last night thinking and hoping that it will clear up and maybe it is the tomatoe that I ate. What was the outcome of you scope. I hope all is well with you and everything is o.k. How long have you had endo? I have had it now for 24 years and am getting really tired of it and also expensive. Please let me know how it went for you!! Kim Hi endochick,
