      It would be very unusual to have endo only show up for the 1st time at 42. I can't say anything about IBS except that it's a diagnosis docs love to hide behind. Many folks have it, but many don't. I've no clue whether or not you've got it.

      Think about asking for some abdominal ultrasounds, including vaginal if the others show nothing.

      I have tons of scar tissue in my abdomen from 5 abdominal surgeries, 3 for endo. As I get older, there's a lot more sensation in my abdomen just as my intestine work -- or that's my theory, not letting them even look to try & find some excuse to cut me open again. Am in my 60s now.
