The last few months my GI symptoms had been getting worse and worse. I could usually make it through the early part of the day but by dinner whatever I ate I'd end up bloated, gassy, and feeling awful. My GI doc ran the full battery and couldn't find anything. I payed for a great app to track my food and symptoms to see if I could find a link, and nothing no luck. Back around the first of the year my gyno had put me back on "the pill" to control endometriosis symptoms and that had killed my sex drive (which had just finally been getting back to normal). It wasn't until I had him take me off the pill a couple of weeks ago that I realized it was doing way more than killing my sex drive. It was also responsible for my increased anxiety, mood swings, feelings of depression, and my GI issues. Suddenly, I'm not feeling terrible after every meal. I still have some symptoms but nothing like they were.
