Endometriosis is a hormonal and immune-system disease. Lesions or scar tissue can implant on the bowel (as well as on other organs in the pelvic region), interfering with normal bowel function and causing pain. Intestinal or "gut" health is extremely important for women with endo (and anyone with immune system issues). Taking a good quality probiotic is essential.
