PCOS and Endometriosis - Diet IssuesFrom: Mel (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 10 Oct 2001 13:49:32 -0500 (CDT)
Hello, I have both severe endometriosis (Stage IV) and PCOS (just diagnosed). I am a little perplexed about my diet. I had been following the advice of Dr. Susan Lark in her book on Endo and Fibroids, which is basically a vegetarian diet, and very high carb. Although I had some pain relief, my weight just never budged. I now know this was due to the insulin resistance from the PCOS. My question is: how do you reconcile the different diet recommendations of the two conditions? They seem almost mutually exclusive! Endo diet is supposed to be mostly vegetable, with no animal foods and lots of whole grains. PCOS diet is supposed to be mostly protein with limited carbs. I don't want the pain back, but I'm very tired of all the PCOS symptoms I'm suffering with. Anyone been through this? Advice? Thanks!
