Okay so when researching I read that PCOS is caused by 1. insulin resistance and 2. estrogen dominance.
I read about how to get the circulating estrogens out of the body, and the answers that kept coming up time and time again was flax seeds
they say, it is because of an acid in the flax that makes women rid the body of a tonn (like 40%) more of excess estrogens. this 5- 10 grams of flax a day diet is said to stop endometriosis, fibroids, breast cancer, and pcos.
to prep the flax u need to soak it for 24-48 hours, cos this breaks down phytic acid, which stops u absorbing minerals.
they say follow this for 3 cycles and u will find periods will be less painful, and pcos will go away. plus to help it along, u should eat high protein diet, to lower insulin.
what do u think?
i started today. i made flax crackers with buckwheat flour, flax and some plain flour
