i'm new to this site...and i'm so grateful i've found it i suffer from PCOS... however i'm learning more and more about it on this site. I was recently put on metformin by my new doctor, which i really wanted a prescription of bc instead, because it seemed to help me. Now i've learned that met would be better, because it goes to the root of the problem, i was actually going to discontinue my use of met w/o informing my doc until i found this site. Now i know i need to continue on it and give it time to work...However i've read alot of the interesting things on the message board..I want to know, what is the ir diet?...could anyone tell me
