I have that disease too, and had a real hard problem with digestion, tummy hurting and bleeding. Since I have been on glucophage and low carbing the problems has just about cleared up! I was worried about taking it after hearing about the bathroom adventures but felt I had no other option to get this the pcos under control. I don't low carb too stict, raised my proteins and good fats and lower the amount of carbs ( which I was eating a lot) and the weight and inches have been coming off slowly but surely. Am on 500mgs of glucophage 3x a day and this seem to be enough for me for now. So you might find you can bridge the gaps in the two diets with not too much trouble. Good Luck!
