I have discontinued dairy from my diet
Along with slowly eliminating gluten and wheat. As I feel this is triggering my body to feel worse.
I am eating salads, fruits, veggies and meat.
I have no prior digestive difficulties prior to appendectomy, nor any previous concerns with dairy or wheat. I have no alcohol or substance abuse history. Only surgeries prior to 4/25/2017 have been due to injuries.
I am asking if all the difficulties I am experiencing could be from the endometriosis?
Or is this normal after an appendectomy?
