Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

It's just me, Nikki

Question:

Spoiler for vague reference to a food group and mention of a couple foods * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I cant eat anything dairy anymore. I tried some fat free frozen yogurt, and ended up in agony because of the dairy. I am bloated, and gassy feeling. Great, another food group that I have to cut out. I wasn’t eating much dairy as it was, and I was taking Lactaid with it, but that doesn’t work anymore. I also find that I feel better not eating dairy at all. So, I did the smart thing (for me) and took the rest of the frozen yogurt and sprayed Windex on it and put it in the trash…this way I wont be tempted to binge on something I have an allergy to. I used to do that as a means to punish myself. There are very few things I can eat now. I do drink my orange-pineapple Slim Fast, but that’s for nutrition purposes, not weight loss purposes. I have to drink/eat something with my Glucophage so that I don’t crash with hypoglycemia (which has happened to me twice now where my blood sugar dipped into the very low 40’s). I am just sick of this all. I don’t want to eat anything. Mainly, I stick it fruits now, like canned Pineapple (can you tell I LOVE Pineapple?) and canned pears/peaches/fruit cocktail. That’s all I eat. I have about 15 cans of them in the fridge. I also eat my tuna lunch packs for protein. Other than that, there isn’t anything else I really eat….because I am too scared to eat, and also because of the allergies to food ingredients. Also, because of my insulin resistance and the Polycystic Ovary Disease, I have to watch my carbs because I produce too much insulin, which my body converts to fat (hence taking the Glucophage). I guess I am just venting…I don’t know. I am just sick of being sick…of dealing with an ED and allergies to things that I cant eat.

I hear you, Nikki — it must be extremely frustrating to have already been so limited in your physical activities and now your food situation has become more limited as well.  Allergies to foods can really wreak havoc when you’re also struggling with an ED. –Connie — "Starving the flesh wastes the spirit." –Kandis Elliot

hi nikki, i’m sorry you are experiencing such frustration with your foods….not being able to eat the ones you want and worrying about the effects of the ones that were once safe for you.  to me it sounds like you really do want to nourish yourself, be kind to yourself, but with all of these obstacles, you are unable to meet this desire.  it’s like your mind is ready to beat *this* but your body is not cooperating.  i don’t know the first thing of what you are going through right now….with the physical aliments (non-ed and ed) and so i am unable to relate one on one, but i am able to give you any insight i can from my perspective.  i’m assuming you have seen several dieticians that could alter your food so that you are receiving adequate fats and other nutrients.  i know with only eating the fruits you will be lacking a lot of other important nutrients and you will probably still have that gassy feeling : (. thank you for posting, nikki.  i know you saw it as a vent, but i could see a lot of frustration in your post.  i will be thinking of you, hoping you will be able to conquer this food situation so that you are eating well again – - take care, love, karin  oxox
