Hey all I've been struggling with this for a long time and have been living without gluten, dairy, peanuts, most grains and watching for cc to the best of my ability. Now I'll try going without soy again and definitely cut out fructose/honey (very bad shooting pains which never happened before) until I can be absolutely sure they aren't causing harm. But...

Brain fog has always been a problem but lately it's been getting out of control. I haven't felt incredibly normal and symptom free for awhile but lately it seems like I went from a sniffly sinus infection with somewhat puffy eyes (plant allergies?) to occasional to frequent dizziness to now where I feel really REALLY stupid & spacey. Extra rest, de-stressing...

Now that you've put it that way I should probably get it checked again and look into it. I've gone through MONTHS of spacey/cloudy thoughts, weakness, and fatigue that get interrupted by some "normal". I'll feel so much better that I'll wonder how I even put up with all that for so long. But the sublingual tabs don't really help much and lead me to think...

Gluten free/dairy free & struggling with figuring out diet for around 7 years. I live at home right now and since it's been so damned hot I keep needing something cool to drink. Mostly I drink water but I've been having my mom's Fuze Slenderize too because cool water doesn't always cut it. Well trying to help out I went ahead and bought an armful of...

I've read that celiac covers all grains and the gluten diagnosis has been a mistake. Remember that quinoa and buckwheat aren't grains. BTW be careful about FODMAP, SCD, GAPS and the like. While the information there may be helpful, my avoiding of any minor disturbance backed me into a no carb corner. From there it seemed like my body started to really...

Do you get enough carbs? I've been struggling with this problem for a long time and now think maybe I am just running myself into a wall by following "healing diets" that are low carb. It's only been a few days but I think adding in quinoa, potatoes, buckwheat, plantains, more fruit and all that will help bring my energy back. No matter how much I thought...

Yeah I've been having a lot of fat. Especially with the bone broths. Though I hope my diet can balance out, and soon I can drag down both the meat and fat to make room for carbs. I'm remaining unattached to both GAPS and 180degreehealth but a blend of the two seems promising. The latter says that reactive hypoglycemia comes specifically from either avoiding...

I had my appointment but he doesn't feel that I needed a blood test and upcoming work won't let me have one until next Wednesday anyway (can always call to order it then). Since then I've done a lot of research, a whole lot of thinking, read the GAPS book, implemented some GAPS intro, read a lot of the 180degree health blog, thought about salicylic acid,...

I'm going to check out GAPS to help combat ADD. The lady behind GAPS associates stomach problems with ADD and I've felt the same way. Going on Adderall has made a big difference in my quality of life, but I think now is the time to switch to XR because the instant releases seem to be contributing to my ups and downs in energy sometimes mood, or even might...

All right, well I'm still waiting on the doctor's appointment which is the Monday after next. Until then I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the GAPS diet and figure how I can incorporate it. So far I've picked up Sunja's Kimchi yesterday to at least start working in the fermented foods. Might be a coincidence but already I had quite a good morning...

sounds like you eat a lot but are always hungry & weak, maybe shaky, maybe dizzy??? please get your thyroid checked. Yep! For sure, and it can get to the point where it's flat out embarrassing. I'll definitely get something set up with my doctor soon. As for the agave, I'll consider trying it again but vaguely remembering something being wrong...

I try but don't particularly pay attention to how much. Most meals are a big bowl full of veggies with a chunk of meat on top, and only protein drinks are eaten without a vegetable to go with it. I know I could do better but it's hard with your usual market fare. Chinese markets have a lot more variety but they are too far to go to regularly. Even frozen...

Thanks for the pointers, but I already eat a ton of protein. Lots and lots. Up to like 1lb to 2lbs a day of lean meat, and maybe a protein shake on top of that. Nuts, sometimes, but again too many will make me sick. My metabolism is very high, but my digestion can't keep up. So the amount of nuts I can normally have before everything starts going south is...

Carb intake is my major enemy in having a quality life. Trying to get in a proper amount while keeping symptom free has been a massive headache for years and it's finally getting better but I'm still kind of clueless how to maintain some kind of stability. When I start doing whatever it is (running out of glucose? glucose getting trapped in the blood stream...
