Has diet change helped your PCOS symptoms?

Question

I've recently been diagnosed with PCOS and have been advised to cut out carbs, sugar, and dairy to help my symptoms. I was told about 50% of the treatment for PCOS is from diet change. I'm struggling a lot with this diet, and it's so expensive to buy these kinds of groceries. I want to know if any of you have made these kinds to diet changes and if they've helped/are worth the effort. Thanks!

Answer

I've reduced my carb and dairy intake somewhat and it has helped, but I don't deny myself anything either if I want it.

Answer

I recently joined ww and the “high point foods” are sugar carbs and dairy. So for the last three weeks I’ve been mostly good and avoided these.  I started spotting, without the pill I haven’t spotted or gotten my period in years! I’m also exercising almost daily so that could be a factor as well as 10 lbs weight loss. My acne is almost all cleared up too

Answer

I’ve never had a regular period in my life, wasn’t unusual for me to go 5 months with nothing. I went on the keto diet at the start of this year in an attempt to shift some weight. I’ve lost about 20kg so far, my periods have been between 30-35 days, and just this week discovered the hard way that I can no longer get away with using PCOS as our contraception 😅🤰
