Hello! I forgot I became a member of this group a while ago and I recently found it again!

I would love some more friends doing LCHF to share stories, recipes, success/failures, etc.

Of course you don't have to also have PCOS with IR but that's what I have and that's the reason I started down the LCHF road - more friends going through similar situation is just that much more helpful!

Anyways - thanks in advance!

    PCOS, IR, Hypothyroid, medically caused HPB, migraines (suspended, thank goodness), no GB, low stomach acid, all kinds of other mess along the way - I think I've actually forgotten things in the list of what's wrong with me. Anyone is welcome to friend me - just include LCHF/PCOS or whatever in the message, please.

    SYMPTOMS OF LOW STOMACH ACID
    Here are some of the common symptoms and disorders caused by low stomach acid1,3:

    Bloating, belching, and flatulence immediately after meals
    Heartburn (often thought to be caused by too much stomach acid)
    Indigestion, diarrhea, or constipation
    Undigested food in stools
    Acne
    Rectal itching
    Chronic candida
    Hair loss in women
    Multiple food allergies
    Iron deficiency
    Weak, peeling, or cracked fingernails
    Chronic fatigue
    Adrenal fatigue
    Dry skin
    Various autoimmune diseases
    You Don’t Feel Good When You Eat Meat


    Basically, your body doesn't produce enough for whatever reason and you suffer some of all of these. It's easily treatable, but can cause all kinds of problems long term like gallbladder issues/stones/disease/removal...

    I have PCOS and it appears to be with IR, though my PCP had said my insulin was "normal." I previously had prediabetes that I reversed doing a low carb diet and losing about 10% of my body weight. Feel free to send me a friend request!

    I was going to say my usual "be sure to include a note so I know who you are" but your username gives you away. ;)
