Hi all,
For over a year now I've been having very unusual symptoms every time I introduce butter and coconut oil into my diet. I can confidently point the finger at these foods as the symptoms appear literally within the day once I introduce either one of these foods. The physical symptoms include scaling in between the eyebrows which very much reminds of similar to what's seen in seborrheic Dermatitisdermatitis, however the other symptoms are typically some more subtle like mental fog (though energy wise I feel very stable) and as well as quite pronounced memory loss. I spent about 4-5 months eating grass fed animals with lots of butter and coconut oil thinking that these migth this might simply be 'detox' related symptoms that will go away and experienced quite serious concerning 'mental blackouts' where I had considerable trouble accessing abstract memory like names, location and being very forgetful generallyas well as just general forgetfulness. When Once I stop eating these foods and introduce nuts, particularly cashews and macadamia nut oil, my mental wellbeing as well as the ability to recall dramatically improves very quickly and the scaling goes away. I have tried to take a break from butter and coconut oil for 3 months and reintroduce it later and the moment but once I have did (each at a time, separately), immediately the same symptomology takes placeimmediately returned.
I am a little confused here. Is it possible that Am I just personally happen to be simply allergic/sensitive to these fundamental paleo foods or am I undergoing a 'detox' detox'-like reaction? Is there a reliable way to test for thisfor a sensitivity/allergy to these foods as well as possibly identify tolerable alternatives?
Really appreciate you taking the time,
Jason.
