OK, now you've said your wife is going to a fertility docotr next month so I need to re-iterate my last reponse to your last gluc. question - aldactone should not be used if trying to concieve.

That said, I don't think anyone can say with any certainty what dietary restrictions your wife will have to follow. Eat healthily. We all have our own ideas what healthy is. Generally, low on refined carbs is a safe bet for PCOS. Some are stricter about avoiding carbs - all carbs- than others. Some women have trouble with glucophage and gastric distress, shall we say... they find certain foods send them running to the bathroom. Some women find all food sends them running for the bathroom for the first few weeks. Most docs start glucophage at a low dose and work you up to a higher dose so your body adjusts. I personally started at 1000mg and had no problems so quickly moved up to 1500mg, still no problems, so up to 2000mg, and still no problems UNLESS i eat macaroni and cheese. That is the only food that has made me feel any ill effects on glucophage. Your milage may very.
