Hello All
I am hoping that someone might be able to help. I have IBS, PCOS and just last week was diagnosed with helicobacter pylori. I am overwhelmed. Does anyone know are they all connected in anyway or what?????? I am starting GI diet on Monday. I have looked up stuff on the Web and hope that maybe after treating the helicobacter pylori, this will help clear the IBS symptoms. Does this make sense? Any info v much appreciated
Hi,
We cannot give medical advice and strongly suggest you follow the guidance of your doctor.
Here's some some info on PCOS and diet taken from The Low GI Guide to Managing PCOS, but again you need to discuss this with your doctor or a dietitian specialising in PCOS:
There is recognition of the link between PCOS and insulin resistance. Dietary management of PCOS should focus on weight reduction for those who are overweight. Consideration also needs to be given to the role of varying dietary composition in increasing insulin sensitivity. On the balance of evidence, a diet low in saturated fat and high in fibre with predominantly low-GI-carbohydrate foods would appear to the most logical choice. Such a diet may help short term in improving the symptoms of this condition, as well as long term, in reducing the risk of diseases linked with insulin resistance.
