PCOS is very difficult, I am sorry to hear you have been dealing with it for so long. I have other hormonal issues, PMDD, but occasionally have painful ovarian cysts, too.
I know the diet can be helpful for PCOS,but also that hormonal issues and autoimmune diseases take time. I have read that PCOS and other hormonal and autoimmune issues are related to excess weight, so if you are still losing, it might be a part of the delay.
Some potentially helpful information - cruciferous vegetables are very good both for balancing hormones and dealing with autoimmune issues. Things like broccoli, kale, brussesls sprouts are excellent, but even more helpful are things like watercress and arugula, aka rocket. It doesn't take much either. I noticed improvement when I have one or more of those veggies every day.
Hang in there! I'm here to chat anytime you're feeling like it will never end!

EvanG wrote:Nicole, on top of being so successful with your dietary journey, you've also been very helpful to many on this board. I first noticed in the elimination diet thread. The fact that this thread is very full of you being helpful to others is further indication that you deserve a hand for being one of the very helpful board participants. Congrats on both counts.
