A member asked:
I have pcos and have recently been having problems with my bowels as well either loose or hard can't win?

Taking metformin?: Pcos should not affect your bowels by itself. Are you taking metformin (glucophage) which cause diarrhea or nausea? If so, you may do better on a lower dose, and your dr can try extended-release metformin tablets which can cause less side effects. If you're not on metformin see your primary care doctor for help. Celiac disease may be more common in women with irregular cycles.
