12.01.2022 I am going to lay it clearly on the line here: If you have PCOS and are struggling to get pregnant, then I believe you need to avoid gluten. Gluten might play a factor in infertility for reasons including improper nutrient absorption, negative immune system response, related inflammation and hormone imbalance. Having said this the reality is that there are no studies on gluten and PCOS. There is no research regarding what percent of women with PCOS have gluten sensitivity. ...But hear me out. Healing requires a healthy gut and that requires a diverse and appropriate gut microbial population. Even in those without autoimmunity to gluten there is often an inflammatory response. This is why I highly recommend a gluten free diet initially, as many with gluten issues have no overt GI symptoms. Therefore I recommend a gluten free diet for all for at least 6 months or as needed to restore regular ovulation and metabolic homeostasis. Once robust health is established, reintroducing organic, unprocessed gluten can then be considered on an individual basis. See more

11.01.2022 If you are suffering from PCOS and are trying to conceive you might want to consider lowering your carb intake significantly but up your fat intake. A systematic review from 2017 on the effects of low carbohydrate diets on fertility found that reducing dietary carbohydrates, and therefore circulating insulin, improved hormonal balance, promoted normal ovulation, and improved pregnancy rates. And as a bonus: By lowering insulin, low-carb foods also make it far easier to lose... weight. Start by reducing starches in your diet. Think white: White potatoes, white bread or flour, white rice etc. and of course sugar no matter the colour. It’s important to do one step at a time. Replacing white starches with whole foods is a great first step. by @eatwell101
