You probably have what is called the "Low Carb Flu" - a condition of tiredness and irritability that you get when suddenly stopping all carb sources. Try going off slowly, have some beans, quinoa, oats, or other "slower" carb foods. DEFINITELY cut out all processed sugars and ideally all processed foods. Eat A LOT more fat, ideally from grass-fed sources. See if you can switch your calorie intake to 40% protein 40% fat 20% carbs to start. Don't give up. This is about changing your hormone balance, and it doesn't happen overnight.

I see you asking plenty of GAPS/SCD questions that can easily be answered if you read the book. How are you going to do the diet without the book? Just buy it.

There's an entire chapter on constipation.

Just push through it. Reread the constipation chapter for advice on achieving a regular stool. There's no need to panic. If you're following the program, things will balance themselves out. You're on day 4. Your body is still working stuff out. I assume you're still on intro in which case keep going through intro until the issue resolves. If it doesn't, just move on and add boiled squash and carrots. You're more likely to get a concrete answer on the yahoo group rather than here. – Roth Jun 22 at 22:30
