Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

1

Theres no way I can afford to go to seminars or buy the books or really any of that. What am I supposed to do? I need a good structure of foods that I can eat without my stomach cramping and so far that seems like a vegetarian diet centered around smoothies, soups and the occasional sandwich (on sprouted bread).

While my stomach enjoys this diet, I know this isn't near what I should be eating...so what do I do? My stomach still cramps up when I eat meat, though it seems to accept fish like tilapia with minimal cramping, so thats nice.

And I've pretty much forced myself to eat a solid meal a day, but...I don't know what to do. I really don't.

Have you considered that the problem isn't the food, but rather your stomach/bowel bacteria? I had similar issues (not with meat, but with eating in general). I was prescribed Buscopan, which is an antispasmodic. In the meantime, I took bio-k fermented probiotics (rice, because I have issues with dairy). I healed my gut and no longer need either.

	How much do either of those cost? – Sebastion Tobias Sep 16 2011 at 20:48
	Buscopan is about $9 dollars for 30 pills, but it is free with a prescription and extended medical. The Bio-k is pricier, like 10 dollars for 12 days, but you probably only need two cycles (they come in 6 packs of little shooter drinks and you drink half of one daily). Worked for me and worth a shot. – Ashley Sep 17 2011 at 17:17

Would you be willing to try gelatin? It is high in protein and might be easier to digest. I recommend great Lake gelatin. Its how I get a higher level of protein since my digestion is so messed up right now.

I know I have said this before, not to this post but several others.

It could be stomach acid. Stomach acid seems to go lower with age, and a shitty diet.

I highly recommend the book "Why stomach acid is good for you"

Will give you a bit more detail on taking HLC, I always take my HLC with my meal, however the guideline is the same. Start with 1 with a meal, if you feel nothing increase to 2 etc burning feeling decrease by 1.

Okay how about Charles Poliquin’s Biosignature?
