Update! Having mri done in my daughter today in abdomen. I think you would all be proud of how I kept pushing the doctor! Anyway, he still has no idea what is going on, says we should consider a psychiatrist next. Know idea what that is about, or sending her to a pain rehab center. Of course , my responses were to possibly do another HIDA scab for the gallbladder, I made him do one two years ago! Possibly removing her from the cymbalta, making her mood very down and isn’t removing the pain . Tried acupuncture,but no result there either . Thank you for your guidance! I will keep you posted.

Your daughter does not need a psychiatrist. He will only prescribe antidepressants that have the side effects of suicidal thoughts. And we don't want that! Doctors think that teens, especially young teens, are not able to get endometriosis. Yet I have several friends who have had it since their first cycle (about age 12 or so). In the beginning, Endometriosis forms implants anywhere in the body, but mainly in the abdomen and pelvic area. The implants start small and usually cannot be seen except through laparoscopic surgery. As it builds though it can form cysts. Endo. causes excruciating pain, especially if it is on/near nerves.
Has your daughter been tested for celiac disease? It is a blood test. Is your daughter seeing an ob/gyn at all? or just a GI doctor.
