I haven't been to the pickerington location but I work in Reynoldsburg. PS I love your profile pic!

Are you doing low-carb? are you on a birth control as well?

Thankfully I have had no vomiting. I've had some diarrhea, but nothing embarrassing. I'm taking 3 (500mg) pills daily with dinner. I've lost about six pounds, my appetite had definitely decreased

What side of town are you on? I'm a planet fitness member too!

Yes I just started Metformin 2 weeks ago

For me, I am completely against it. For many reasons, one being cost, my insurance doesn't cover it. BUT I have a friend who has had tremendous success! She had been TTC for 18 months and trying to lose weight for 6 months and nothing was happening on either front. She was insulin resistant, "obese" and had terrible acid…

I just recently started Metformin, infact I am not even up to the full dose yet. Still taking 1000mg. I look forward to hearing about others' success. I have lost 4 lbs in my two weeks on Metformin. Unsure if it will stay off since I can't keep anything in my system. I just started my first cycle on Metformin so I can't…

I am seeing a new doctor now, which is what opened my eyes to the doctor 7 years ago saying I was fine. thinking to myself " not much has changed" I bet I've had PCOS all along. I called earlier this week and they are mailing my old medical records so I can view them.

I was on the pill at the time. I called the endo I saw back then and I'm having my records sent to me.

Hi there! In Columbus myself!!

First of all, you probably shouldn't say an issue many people are dealing with doesn't exist. You may really upset some people. Also, this article is stupid because it says "science-it works" at the end but nothing in this article cited science. The subjects were "self-identified" as gluten insensitive. Also they cycled…

I have struggled with unbearable cramps, bloating migraines, and irregular periods since age 14. When I was on BCP they were regular as in on time, but still had all the typical PMS stuff. Since going GF Ive only had one period, due for another in a week but I had NO PMS =)

I LOVE Gluten Hates Me!!

Well I bought and started reading. Up to chapter 5 so far...

I am currently undiagnosed. Based on my bloodwork, my doctor thinks my issues point to a gluten intolerance but I havent been tested. I just cut out gluten and I feel much better. Im going on 3 weeks now. My acne has cleared up, Ive lost 2 lbs (up to this point I had been incessantly gaining) and the one menstrual cycle…

I would eat it. 60 calories over isn't that big of a deal, and one day won't ruin it all. I always think back to "One bad meal won't make you fat, just like one good meal won't make you skinny" when I'm at parties or social events where foods I don't normally eat are served. For instance, we went to nephews first birthday…

Sorry you are feeling badly. I went through this over the course of a few days last week. I did it to myself though for a very delicious deli sandwhich on sourdough. I quickly realized it wasn't worth it. I was sooo tired I was like a zombie. For me, the gluten affects my blood sugar more than anything since Im insulin…

This is how I am feeling currently. I had terrible acne that has cleared up, and I feel so much lighter, I had a turkey sandwich while I was out last night because I thought, "how much could it hurt?" UGH I figured out real fast. Stomach pains, constipation this morning, and I am so exhausted despite my full nights rest, a…

Thanks. I am not sure if this is something that will help me or not. I go back in a few days to discuss blood work

I have been through therapy, but it wasn't much help. This book...I read cover to cover and it inspired me to ask for the help I needed from my doctor. It gave me a platform to say that Im not just an overeater, Im not lazy- I have a REAL problem. Tested this morning for Hashimoto's. I will have some more answers next week.

Well the results are in! TSH was 3.31. She sent a referral to an endo near my house... theyre supposed to call me.

Hi guys! I really appreciate everyone "weighing in" (no pun intended). I went to my OBGYN this morning for a second opinion since my PCP was "skeptical" that anything is really wrong with me. SO... she tested my TSH again. Im waiting for results,but she referred me to an endo anyway because of my symptoms. I'm going to…

Thank you both so much! Ill be joining your group today =)

Thanks Ginger I appreciate it!

Any reason why you take folic acid?

Yes, for muscle cramping

Anyone?

It is a master of arts in psychology, and that is what I'm looking for so...

^^ Do you eat meat? If not, what is your biggest source of protein?
