I was diagnosed with endo in 2000 (I had just turned 19) and have had 2 laparoscopies since that one, had my gallbladder removed, suffer from recurrent kidney stones and kidney pain, and was just diagnosed a few weeks ago with gastroparesis. I have always been very active and until 2004 had been in pretty good health. Since then I have had one problem after another and feel like its all related. Has anyone else been diagnosed with gastroparesis and did your doctor see a connection? I've mentioned the possibility to both my gyn and gi but both say that it would be so rare for the endometriosis to be in my upper abdomen...and yet I have frequent pain in my kidneys despite there not being any stones, pain on my diaphragm every period, severe headaches, lightheadedness, and vomiting every day which the nausea gets worse during my cycle.

Oh my god that sounds AWFUL! I will have to google gastroparesis, but just wanted to welcome you to the board and say thanks for posting. Do you have a decent endo doc, or are you having to do the specialist shuffle? Do you follow any specific diet? I have read about the post-gallbladder diet and it's pretty close to the 'endo diet' some of us follow... maybe in the interval before you get answers you could look into diet changes that can provide some relief? If it is endo on your kidneys and diaphragm, it could benefit from reducing inflammatory foods.... Just wanted to say hi and welcome. Keep us posted!
