Another Newbie here :)

I am so happy that I found this site! I've been lurking around for a week reading the wealth of info that is here and thought it was time that I introduced myself. My name is Missi, I am 30 years old. I was just diagnosed with PCOS with Insulin Resistance a little over a month ago. I am also a celiac (Allergic to gluten) and a Vegetarian, I am completely stumped at what exactly I should be eating. I was prescribed Riomet 500 mg a day and prometrium 400 mg 10x's a month. I have not started taking the prometrium yet, mainly because I have been spotting and am going to take it vaginally...I just can not swallow those pills...Hence the liquid Riomet instead of the metformin pills. My periods were very irregular until a couple of months ago..I would go years without even a drop. After being gluten free for a year, I started getting an AF again. Then I just wouldn't stop bleeding, went to a GP and she thought I had a polyp. She sent me to an OB/GYN, who did a batch of tests and a vaginal ultrasound and diagnosed me with PCOS and told me I didn't have a polyp. I just wanted to say hey and that I really appreciate this site and all the members that are participating!

Hi CrimsonAndClover,
Welcome to SC. I just got diagnosed about 3 weeks ago myself. I'm glad that I found this site. There is a wealth of knowledge. I wish you the best with your treatment.

Good luck with everything! I'm waiting on a diagnosis, and i've only been on this site for a week and have already found so much information, there will probably be someone here who can help with what you can and can't eat. What exactly is insulin resistance with regards to PCOS?
