jodi -
there is so much info that is confusing me. And i felt sick this
morning because my dr raised my glucphage starting today (which is even
a strike against the veagn thing -- but i doubt i will find vegan
prescriptions -- haha) I posted something on a veganism board on the
vegsource website -- and someone responded who is vegan and who has
successfully treated her pcos being vegan. I just emailed her and
cannot wait to hear what she might say. And to think i thought my food
world was confused enough when i was actively bulimic -- haha -- oh
well.... hope you are hanging in there. Keep me posted on what you
find out in your searches and i will do the same.
