PID Diagnosis
I, too had these symptoms last year after doing Adkins for four months, losing 30 pounds and reaching my goal weight. I doubled over one day at work, feeling bloated, gassy, nauseated, and unable to stand. My right hip bone felt too tight to stand up straight. My Dr. thought it was appendicitis or an ovarian cyst, but after a pelvic exam (during which the pain was extreme) he dianosed me with PID (pelvic inflammatory disease, usually the result of an undiagnosed STD left untreated.) I have been tested for STDs in the past, and have been in a monogamous relationship for eight years, so that could not be my case. I didn't believe the diagnosis, but took the antibiotics for the full course, and I did not have the problem again. I went off Adkins after I'd reached my goal weight (and gained it all back, go figure.) So here I am, trying Adkins again, and I'm having the same symptoms again. This time, I'm thinking it's yeast die-off or overgrowth due to my change in eating habits again. Thank God the pain isn't near as severe as last year.
