I have had diarrhea since Sunday. I was also having abdominal cramps for the first few days and a pressure and tenderness in my lower abdomen (this comes and goes). I have stage 4 endometriosis and currently have a large cyst (which has been there over 2 years). I thought maybe this was playing up or maybe I had the start of an infection so went to the GP. She did lots of checks and since my temp is fine and there are no other signs of infection she reckoned it was just gastroenteritis so said to rest and get lots of fluids and a bland diet. Have done that but the diarrhea is still there. It is only 3 or 4 times a day now and smaller amounts (probably because I am eating less!). I'm not dehydrated and feel fine apart from when I get a cramp and need the loo or get this weird pulling feeling which I am guessing is the cyst or one of the many adhesions I have in my pelvis! I'm seeing my endo consultant next week but in the meantime I am going camping tomorrow with the kids and some friends and the toilet issue is a little concerning. I'm sure I can get to the loo in time and as I say it's not often but it's still embarrassing! Obviously if the diarrhea carries on I will go to GP when I get back on Monday but would it hurt to take Imodium in the meantime? Thanks
