It's so true; the ancients knew that nutrition was vital to healthy pregnancy and conception! (Sorry, I'm a little late in responding to this comment!) Oh, and thanks for the tip on introducing solids to grain-free kids. I will totally post about that soon! @Marsha, I think low-carb (which as long as you're sticking with REAL FOOD and no soy, would also be gluten free as well) is the best. It's really the insulin, I believe, that is most detrimental for PCOS and all metabolic disorders, although the gluten certainly is very aggrivating in its own right. I'm so glad you've started seeing a nutritionist! It's amazing that doctors aren't reading the research regarding pcos...and anyway, a low-carb diet can't hurt anyone, so I don't see why they don't just mention it? /soapbox :) @Cara Lee,

I have been diagnosed with PCOS, but not Celiac Disease (although my mom and I have the symptoms). Which option should a person with possibly both isseus choose to live by?

My first pregnancy I was a vegetarian and had morning sickness all the time. What a difference! Emily, some naturopaths take insurance, mine does, so it's worth asking around.

But two years after her, what had helped me before in Western medicine wasn't working at all. Within one month of going completely grain-free and sugar free, I conceived my son. I had the best pregnancy because I was working with a nutritionist and my ob-gyn. My daughter appears to have the same gluten intolerance that I have (couldn't afford to have her tested last year), as does my son. My traditional pediatrician tells me it's time for him to "start cereal" and I smile. My DH and I agree we're skipping grains for the kids. We'll have the nutritionist test them before school. A post on baby foods / intro to solids for the grain-free would be helpful. (With my first we were eating grains.) Just found you today and love your site.

Isn't it incredible what a difference it can make? I've been grain free for almost a year now and it's been a huge difference; even more than being just "gluten free". Thanks Julie! @ Julie,
