I am so have surgery in 6 months to remove a section of bowel and one of my fallopian tubes as well. I will be placed on Synarel for the next 6 months to induce a chemical menopause. I am starting this weekend so I can let you know after that. I have also asked a question here for tips and tricks with doing this so if anyone has anything interesting to say I will tag you in it as well. The only things that have helped me so far is a change in diet. no dairy, red meat and I try to limit gluten. It hasn't come anywhere to fixing the problem bowel but I certainly see flare ups when I relax those rules. All the best of luck xo
