So I was recently diagnosed with PCOS but my OB/GYN didn't think my weight was a problem, yet, because i've always been pretty petite. however, I have gained 8 pounds in the last 4 months, and the doctor thinks this is just normal teenage weight gain.
But I've had really terrible (tee hee) gas, as in, constant burping/passing wind (oh god is it embarrassing), and i did some research online and it said that intestinal gas is a symptom of insulin resistance (IR), which can be caused/related to PCOS, correct?
does anyone know anything about this?
I do have the following symptoms for IR (checked other sites)
1) Craving for carbs (major binges after school sometimes)
2) Sleepiness after binging (i pass out for a couple hours if i do give in to my cravings)
3) general fatigue/depression. This might just be because I'm in highschool and we don't get sleep anyways.
4) and of course, the hellas gas.
