Re: Still having issues, but have more symptoms that could maybe help me. NEED HELP ITS BEEN 2 YEARS.
I have been in the exact same situation as you and I know exactly what you need to do. Okay, so you were getting sick with colds and flu's before you removed all grains, dairy and beans. You switched to paleo diet and stopped getting sick but the question is why? The simple answer is that when you were eating grains and dairy, you're immune system was somewhat functional although you had a lot of toxins in your body, probably many long-term infections and other problems. When you started the paleo diet you're immune system basically stopped working, your body now does not have enough mucous to even make you sick and clear out the bad stuff so everything is trapped inside. The longer you stay on this diet the sicker your body is becoming (even though your immune system doesn't work). I think that if you really think about it you will know that what I am saying is correct. As I said, I have been exactly where you are right now. I was also doing a juice fast, when I finally realized this was NOT working and I needed to do something different. So what do you need to do? You need to start eating the foods that make you feel sick so that your body can start to clear out the toxins. Yes, you will feel much worse before you feel better, and you have put yourself into a situation where your digestion will barely work and everything you eat will be toxic, but you still have to eat grains and nourishing foods if you ever want to get better. Right now you are eating all meats and fats which are the most difficult things to digest, you need to switch to eating the things that are EASIEST for your body to digest. What do they feed babies that have week digestion? You feed babies cooked fruit, cooked vegetables, simple carbs rice and grains. Everything should be cooked for now until your digestion will get stronger. If you feel sick from eating this way, great that means your immune system is starting to function again. I know it is difficult once you are in the situation that you are in but I think you realize that you have no other option. The diet you have been following is the exact opposite of what you need. Good luck.
