I am now a transplant in St Lucia. I have created a social group Caribbean Cysters. Please feel free to join.
I have learned to love WI food. I do not eat fig, plaintain. I will eat ripe banana or ripe plaintain once in a blue moon. I cut out bread, flour products. However, I do eat rice. I eat rice, sweet potatos, dasheen. I only drink water and sometimes herbal tea. I have cut out soft drinks, caffeine, and fresh juice. I have added more veggies and fresh fruit.
It has been hard in my house since DH loves WI food. But we have compromised, he will stew meat, but removes the skin/fat when making chicken or pork. We have increased our fish intake to at least 1 per week.
As far as finding an understanding dr... I found one here who knew a lot about PCOS, but only time she would speak to you was when you were in her office paying her. In fact, I called her for 2 weeks before my tube started to rupture and she never returned my call. My new dr doesn't know so much about PCOS but has a great bedside manner. I have decided I would rather bedside manner than knowledge. The 1st dr knowledge gets me no where if she doesn't help me.
