I have had PCOS. My doctor put me on metformin for a year. I lost so much of weight and maintaining a healthy routine. I recently left that drug but now my stomach is bloated and I am having stomach cramps. I am having this feeling whole day. I am also feeling weak and sleepy.

Please check whether the PCOS is relieved. One of the main issues is overweight. You need to eat more of vegetables and fruit. Take at least 2 cups of dhal a day. Drink buttermilk. Once you do this the cramping shoukd go away. If it is very chronic put a wet towel on the cramping area and lie down for 15 minutes. You will be better.

To avoid bloating have small frequent meals. Avoid cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, cabbage, brassica etc. Have raw fruits and vegetables to avoid constipation. For pcos your diet should hv predominance of fruits, seeds like flax seeds, methi seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and veggies. Avoid sugar and starchy foods as insulin resistance may be there.
