Pam,

With having PCOS myself I can tell you that even when I ate nothing I still

gained weight until I started on Metformin. With the insulin resistance it

caused a whole list of other problems. Please do not let the fact she isn't

failure to thrive make you second guess. There is such a huge range of

symptoms that just like PCOS causes it to be harder to diagnose.

I hope you can find an answer and get her feeling better.

Gluten Free makes me feel good and it taste good too!

Laurie,

PCOS is Polyistic Ovarian Syndrome. It affects a woman's mestral cycle, causes Insulin Resistance, hormone inbalance, weight gain, as well as other problems. Diagnosing can be a nightmare (like it was for me) because the symptoms vary from one person to another. It is also an autoimmune problem.

I had never been told pcos is an

autoimmune ailment. I was dx’d with pcos 10 years ago, before it was in

magazines. I was always told it was a hormonal problem, that fed into other

problems, like ir, heart issues, etc. If you know of any website with more

info, please advise.

The nurse told me PCOS is an autoimmune disease. I do not have any documentation on it. I do know that thyroid problems and PCOS go hand in hand along with other problems.

I don't know what PCOS is and how it relates to CD. I am seeing

that Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue seem to relate to CD. I have

fibro and CFS. Since my son has CD, I'm wanting my doctor to run

the bloodwork on me. He told me to just go off wheat and everything

would be fine. He definitely doesn't understand CD. If I can get

the medical term and coding for the bloodtest I need to have, I will

just tell him to run it. I want to know if all of my fatigue is

truly CFS and Fibro or maybe just CD. Life would just be easier if

I knew one way or the other.

By the way, I made Betty Hagman's breadstick recipe that is in the

archives. They are absolutely delicious! I had melted butter and

garlic powder to dip them in, next time, I'll have a spicy cheese

sauce for my son. Anyway, I'm thrilled to find some of the basics

that he likes to replace what he lose

Thanks for your help!

Wow, what a fabulous group this is! I'm so glad I found you all!

Thanks for all the replies regarding my 12 year old daughter (I was

the orignial poster.) Her blood work came out normal, but her

pediatrician said it would be a good idea for her to see the GI

specialist anyway. (There is a pediatric GI specialist here who has

CD and knows a huge amount about it.) So she could still have CD

with normal bloodwork, is that correct??? I am so confused.

With regard to the PCOS---I have read that there is some kind of

autoimmune connection, but I don't think they know for sure how it

connects with autoimmune illness, etc. But many people with PCOS

have autoimmune illnesses. The poll idea is great!! Keep in

mind, most people with PCOS don't even know they have it. And the

symptoms vary so much. From what I understand, most people with PCOS

are overweight and have a lot of hair on their body (too much

testosterone.) I have PCOS, as well as my daughter, and I

am " hairy " LOL, but I was always thin until my 40's. The doctor says

that because I was an athlete in high school, that is why. Many

people with PCOS have trouble with infertility isuues, but I never

did. I also have Sjogren's Syndrome and " Undifferentiated Connective

Tissue Disease " which acts like lupus--all autoimmune.

I'm so glad I found this group. Interestingly, the same day that the

pediatrician suggested that CD could be my daughter's problem, my

sister's doctor said the same thing about my sister. She has had GI

problems all her life.

I am not sure if the symptoms can mask endometriosis. I do know the first doctor I saw would only look into endometriosis and wanted to schedule me for exploratory surgery and I did not want to go there. I switched doctors and it took me a long time to finally get diagnosed.

You can go on google and do a search for "PCOS" and see if there is a link.

Sorry I cannot be more help.

They really are different things. But you

could have both endo and pcos. Ask your ob-gyn for a prescription to draw

blood. Its best diagnosed by comparing the lh and fsh hormone. If your dr.

balks, or doesn’t seem to know much about it, get a new dr. A couple of

vials of blood is really easy, and no big deal if you have insurance. You

should demand it. If its negative, you can worry about 1 less thing.

Could any of the symptoms of PCOS mask endometriosis? I

have been struggling with endometriosis since before being diagnosed CD and

none of the treatments seem to be working. I was hoping it " would go

away " when I went GF but that hasn't been the case
