    Yeah it is always a good idea with these things to see someone who specialises in it. I just know with my sister she had surgery twice so after that is when she started looking in to seeing the naturopath and started diet changes etc. The endo would prob have a lot to do with the bloating. It can also be common for women with endo to have IBS to so she may have a touch of that, which could be causing bloating and discomfort to and painful no# 2's, so that might be worth looking in to as well. I don't live in Melb so can't recommend anyone sorry!

    Just thought I'd bump this one. My friend had pain so bad yesterday after work that when she sat down in her car to go home it reduced her to tears She looks like she is 6 months pregnant, it's getting quite bad.

    Tasha,
    I have stage III Endo and yes the symptoms your describing could be Endo, It could also be a number of other things (also severe). Your friend really needs to
    see someone to get tests etc. Monash IVF in Melbourne have specialist who have extensive experience and should be able to help but she will need a referral from a GP first..

    Thanks Blinky. She had a lap 3 years ago and they removed a small amount of endo, but I think it's gotten worse. I will as my FS for her too because I am doing IUI at Monash IVF next month
