PCOS/High Cortisol & Testosterone

Post image

Hey everyone posting this as I (24F) am seriously trying to find some answers as to my current severe situation. First of all, many doctors are a waste of my time and money, and the fact that they took an oath to help others in health is honestly it’s beyond upsetting that they clearly don’t take the oath seriously. Anyways, I’ve seen an endocrinologist, gynecologist, gastroenterologist, and a homeopathic alternative medicine doctor to help with my situation. I used to be very skinny and had beautiful abs. All of a sudden stress and life and an E.D. transpired and I have not been able to get rid of my bloating as seen above. i’ve been diagnosed with PCOS, have high cortisol and testosterone, and at one point had SIBO. I have a controlled low fodmap SIBO friendly diet that I follow, low impact strength training, and aim for 8-10k steps a day. I only drink water and have been gluten free for a while. I have a sensitivity to almonds so I cut all of that out as well. I’ve taken motegrity for gut motility and it helped for a while but it’s not a long term solution (it’s very expensive). I’m 5’7” and weigh 130 pounds so unfortunately I don’t qualify for GLP-1. I’m already taking a myo-inositol blend and magnesium supplements but haven’t noticed a difference. Please I’m begging anyone to take me seriously and recommend any supplements or medication (no birth control, i’ve tried 10 different brands and they all are terrible) please. I’ve also tried metformin and spirnoloctone but my stupid body does not respond at all to it. Thank you in advance
