After some bloodwork and a trip to the OB I was just diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). Yeah, let's add another syndrome to my life! Now what I've noticed is that they say to avoid carbohydrates because of the insulin but that seems to go against the IBS diet. The doc wants to put me on birth control pills to control the hormone levels and try to manage my symptoms. ARGHHHH!!! I don't want to go on birth control pills but I'm so annoyed by my hormonal symptoms (irregular periods, night sweats, chronic yeast infections, etc.) that I'm going to go back on them. What worries me is how this will affect my IBS??? Anyone else have PCOS and IBS?????
