I would especially reccomend Dr. Boz on YouTube. She is big on keto and intermittent fasting especially for people with intestinal issues.

Thank you. I do want to feel better. Tried starting keto yesterday with what I have in the house. Thank you for the recipe.

My husband intermittent fast. He drinks plain black coffee and water during his fast window period. 

Initially for the first month on and off he said one can experience hunger, or lightheadedness. After that his body adjusted.

A former coworker told me her husband tried one. He was unable to stay on the diet as it was not a match for him. He experienced more symptoms of irritability, fatigue, and more. He went off it after 3 weeks. 

It does appear the people it is a fit for know within a month.

Good luck 

 

That's just about the length of time it takes to get through the metabolic adjustment period. I wish he had stuck it out longer.

Hi Trents, I made this recipe today and love it. Some of the cream cheese didn’t mix in well but I will work on that for the next time. Also my grocery store doesn’t carry the 5% Fage so I used the 10% whole milk plain by Cabot. 
 

think I had keto flu for a few days: headache, leg cramps but now better. 
 

thanks for the recipe.

Glad you liked it and it's good to hear you are feeling better.

      Welcome to the forum, @Rosalie P, I like tallow balm for my eczema.  Vintage Traditions is my favorite brand.   I find that taking Niacin B3 and Omega Threes also very helpful in healing the skin from the inside out.  Our skin reflects the state of health of our intestines.  One of the first signs I ate something that my intestines didn't like is eczema.  Milk and other dairy products definitely make my skin break out.   Have you been keeping a food journal?  Have you noticed a link between break outs or exacerbation and the food you eat?

      If you’re avoiding both gluten and oats, you’re right — a lot of “eczema” or “moisturizer with oat” products use oat-based ingredients (like colloidal oatmeal) that can be questionable for people with celiac or oat sensitivity unless the oats are certified gluten-free and tolerated. For truly gluten-free and oat-free moisturizers many people with sensitive skin use and recommend: Vanicream Moisturizing Cream — no fragrance, dyes, lanolin, or oats CeraVe Moisturizing Cream or Lotion — gentle, oat-free, widely tolerated Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream — rich but oat-free La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm AP+ — good for eczema-prone skin and oat-free Aveeno Sensitivity Free (not Aveeno with oatmeal) — check the label carefully Always check ingredients for things like Avena sativa / oat extract, and if you’re extremely sensitive, call the manufacturer to confirm there’s no cross-contamination with oats or gluten. Patch test any new product on a small area first. Plenty of people with eczema and gluten/oat intolerance have found these work well without triggering reactions.

      I wonder what in RO water would cause major issues with your stomach? That seems strange, unless there is an issue with the system itself, like an installation issue, lack of changing the filter for a long time, etc.

      Isolated DGP-IgG elevation can be tricky. In children who are not IgA deficient and who repeatedly have negative tTG-IgA and normal biopsies, DGP-IgG alone is not very specific for celiac disease. It can sometimes be elevated due to other immune activity, transient infections, lab variability, or even non-celiac inflammatory conditions. The fact that it has risen despite a gluten-free diet and without symptoms or growth issues makes true active celiac less straightforward. The pediatric GI’s plan for a supervised gluten challenge followed by endoscopy is reasonable, as it’s the only way to clarify whether this is evolving celiac or a persistent false positive. You’re doing the right thing by approaching this methodically rather than assuming the antibody alone equals disease.

      Happy to answer, @cristiana, Too much of either Vitamin A or Vitamin E can have detrimental health effects, so doctors can be over cautious about their use.  However, both are important to health.  They act as antioxidants and help reduce inflammation.  Both Vitamins A and E have been shown to improve insomnia and body rhythm.    Yes, I'm familiar with "feel the fear and do it anyway".  I made some poor decisions based on that philosophy as well. Milk is high in B12, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, magnesium and calcium.  Vitamin A and Vitamin D are added to milk, especially to lower fat milks (skim milks), to replace the fat soluble vitamins lost in skimming (removal of naturally occurring fats and fat soluble vitamins found in whole milk).   All these vitamins and minerals have been shown to improve major depressive symptoms by improving brain functions in various ways. Vitamin A and D work in tandem to lower inflammatory cytokines and regulate tight junction connections in the intestines.  Remember the gut brain axis, if our digestive system is unwell, our brain health suffers, too.  Vitamins A and D both help regulate the microbiome.  Low calcium or low magnesium can affect brain health resulting in depression and disrupted sleep.  Low Vitamin A can result in night blindness, one of the first symptoms of a Vitamin A deficiency.   Yes, it's better to get these from dietary sources, however, if one has malabsorption issues as occurs in Celiac Disease (or with lactose intolerance or a reaction to casein) or consumes a poor diet (high in processed foods), then supplementation may be necessary in order to prevent permanent damage, and feel better sooner. It's very hard to pinpoint just one vitamin or mineral to improve our health because our bodies are a cauldron of interdependent chemical reactions involving many different vitamins and minerals and organs going on all the time.  But, yes, health improvement can be that fast, if our bodies receive a sufficient amount of missing vitamins or minerals needed for certain chemical reactions that keep our bodies functioning properly.     Interesting Reading: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminE-Consumer/ Analysis of the concentration of vitamin E in erythrocytes of patients with celiac disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5209463/ Cerebellar syndrome in adult celiac disease with vitamin E deficiency https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1950453/   https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminA-Consumer/   Impacts of vitamin A deficiency on biological rhythms: Insights from the literature https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9718491/ Effect of Vitamin E Supplementation on Chronic Insomnia Disorder in Postmenopausal Women: A Prospective, Double-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36904186/ High prevalence of low dairy calcium intake and association with insomnia, anxiety, depression and musculoskeletal pain in university students from Jordan https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32830623/ Vitamin A and vitamin D regulate the microbial complexity, barrier function and the mucosal immune responses to insure intestinal homeostasis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6629036/ Dietary vitamin A modifies the gut microbiota and intestinal tissue transcriptome, impacting intestinal permeability and the release of inflammatory factors, thereby influencing Aβ pathology https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38606018/ Association between dietary calcium and depression among American adults: National health and nutrition examination survey https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9948022/ Dietary magnesium intake affects the association between dietary vitamin A and depression: a cross-sectional study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11996644/
