ChronicHope

Diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, Bipolar II, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Also in recovery from compulsive eating via a 12 Step program. Trial and error have already led to avoiding all gluten, dairy and nightshade foods. Health improved as a result but still many low energy days and still overweight. Got interested in paleo because the short term energy of the rice I still eat reminds me of compulsive eating, doesn't feel good for the CFS and my mental health social worker suggested a paleo diet might reduce need for medication. However, any moves to cut down the rice seem to result in a health crash serious enough to need stabilizing before moving on. This seems to be associated with excess calcium in my body starting to be released as a result of a more paleo diet. Currently looking at ways to get that out of my body with less dramatic results.
