<p>I have been " doing" Paleo with my husband for exactly one month. Some pleasant results - lost 6 lbs of bloaty muffin-top, and no more gas!</p> <p>But. I am a pretty thin person, 5'8" ( now) 136, so that was not a major reason. I wanted to feel better. And I feel pretty good, but I have had a non-stop run of mouth sores and cold sores since this started. The mouth sores may have been a virus and coincidental, but for the last three weeks I get a new cold sore as soon as the last one heals. This only happens to me when I am really run down or pregnant. I'm not pregnant.</p> <p>I also have had some pretty intense hives on my back, although that seems to be better this week. Suggestions?</p> <p>About diet - bkfast usually eggs with a veg - broccoli, peppers ,etc. Sometimes meat. Lunch usually leftover meat or fish, and salad with varied greens. I alternate fruit or tomatoes on my salads. Night usually grilled meat, baked chicken, grilled fish, various vegetables - really mixing it up. Last night julienned green and yellow squash, tonight sautéed spinach with garlic and roast duck. Snacks usually macadamia nuts. Very rarely, berries with Greek yogurt.</p>

<p>I think I have figured it out. I had c diff 4 years ago, went on vancomycin, since then have had pneumonia 2x in past 18 mos. , multiple courses of antibiotics and steroids...weight gain and sluggishness really started in the fall after my most recent antibiotics. also, became very reactive to fragrances, to the point I needed an inhaler to go to the mall.</p> <p>Diagnosis - candida overgrowth and die-off. The really bad mouth sores were the first week of Paleo, very low carb, and is well described as a candida reaction. Immune system getting better now, no new cold sore so far, last one almost healed. Cross your fingers....</p>

<p>I would have to find the journal, but way before I had interest in low-carb I do remember a journal article on children who were born to mothers who were suffering from food shortages or had lost weight due to illness ( Spanish flu? Must google) children had more fat cells, were fatter throughout life and suffered more effects of obesity. Think about it, it makes sense. If you develop in the womb of a starving woman ( ketosis is read by the body as starvation), it would be advantageous to lay down more fat cells in preparation to enter a world with food scarcity, enabling the baby to take advantage of " good times" by laying down ample stores of fat. My take away? To give your baby a better shot in life, don't go through pregnancy on a ketogenic diet. If a pregnant cavewoman had access to carbs, she would eat them. </p>

But I think he is saying it is harder for him to eat Paleo things in the morning, not necessarily talking about prep time. I am 6 weeks in and sick up to my eyeballs of eggs. I stopped eating them a few days ago. But there is not much else that appeals to me except coffee and fruit or yogurt. It can be a glum adjustment.

I don't EAT cereal. But I still love it.

Well, he said he wanted to know if anyone else felt this way, and YES, I do. I LOVE bagels, I LOVE cereal. it is not weird. My compromise? I eat full fat yogurt, plain with a little vanilla and stevia, a few berries, and my own granola substitue of crushed banana chips and sliced almonds. I crush it in a bag with a rolling pin. Or I whip the egg whites nd yolks separately, fold the yolks in, make a fluffy omelette, and top with strawberries.

Try nun studies. They study them quite a lot, and I am pretty sure they are better at keeping those vows than the priests are

I lived in Japan for quite awhile, and if white rice and soy make people fat, then they must be hiding them somewhere.

But were you &quot; trained&quot; to eat Paleo? I think most people try to eat in a more healthy way as adults than they may have as kids. The problem is conflicting &quot; advice&quot; on what is healthy. I had friends in the 90's who thought it was OK to down a box of snack well cookies because they were &quot; low fat&quot;.

I have what we call a &quot; junk drawer&quot; , and real junk - rice crispy treats and the occasional fruit roll up are mixed in with sunflower seeds, dried fruit, beef jerky, fruit and nut bars, and Graham crackers. My son is sunflower seeds and beef jerky, older daughter may eat the occasional dried mango, and the baby (4) is all about the rice krispy treats. Her favorite snacks, tho are string cheese, peanut butter spoons, and raw veggies. I don't sweat it. She eats maybe one RK treat a week, but it is there.

Some hospitals give a few drops of sugar water to baby boys immediately post circumcision. They startle, and seem to ' forget' about the circa whilst trying to figure out the sweet taste. Just thought it was interesting. I saw it done - it worked.

I had almost all of these symptoms, and was tested for celiac, wheat allergy, etc all negative. do you have any reason to suspect candida overgrowth, Especially repeated courses of antibiotics? Conversely, if you suspect h. Pylori, a positive test would require antibiotic treatment. H pylori is indicated in lmot all stomach cancer, and the rate of stomach cancer in indiv. With h pylori is quite high. My FIL was as close as you got to Paleo in the 70's and 80' s - big hunter/ fisherman, lived in Alaska for years, ate game, wild-caught salmon, few carbs.....died of stomach cancer at 52. Not one

Sorry to be a downer here, but healing the bones with infectious material trapped inside is not a good/ workable idea. It sounds as if dirt real dirt got into the ends of the bones. This kind of infection is really hard to treat. I've seen it before. General immune boosting is always a good idea with any kind of infection tho.

I think the hives are the eggs! Haven't had them in in 5 days - no hives. Should try an egg today, but I am so glad to be rid of the hives I am reluctant to. They were all over my upper back, very itchy, I am sure I looked like Mrs Grok with my arm down the back of my shirt scratching LOL

It was a study of women who were pregnant during a brief famine in Holland after WWIi and follows the children into middle age. I am not so great with cutting and pasting links but that should give u enough for a search.

Strawberries or almonds maybe. I don't eat more tomatoes than before. Thanks for the input. I have to figure this stuff out. I am not even sure what the &quot; hack&quot; means, as in, &quot; hack my snack&quot; posts. There is definitely a learning curve here...

Where do you guys get supplements from? Any good brands?

Ooooh. I have eaten about 4 lbs of macadamia nuts in the past month. I think the mouth sores might have been a virus because they were really bad, all over my soft palate and throat, but the cold sores persist. On every 4-5 days. Only a small one this week....
