This is sort of a sensitive topic, I suppose, but I'm wondering if anyone with PCOS has noticed a correlation between that and yeast infection.
I will say up front that I've never been diagnosed with PCOS. I have many symptoms, but I haven't pressed the issue with my doctor because I've been able to lose weight thus far (albeit very, veeery slowly), and after talking to a couple close friends who *have* been diagnosed, I'm not sure I want to deal with the meds unless I run out of weight loss options.
I've been having problems with candida overgrowth, though, and I've read a little bit online about possible connections between candida and PCOS. So my question is: do you notice a correlation, and has following a PCOS-friendly diet helped eliminate the yeast problems? I already follow a high protein/low carb diet, but I don't pay much attention to sugar intake and I am a caffeine junkie, so I might be my own worst enemy here.
I did poke around the forum a bit to see if this has been addressed in the past, but I didn't find anything. If I missed a thread by all means, point me at it! Thanks.
