Lately whenever I eat a fatty meal I've been getting upper right quadrant pain
lol For me only the carbs cause inflammation, and its acne and gut issues, meat and fat cause very little to none at all, but i have been eating lower fat because now i eat according to my craves and crave more starch than fat

there are two types of people, those with strong livers, strong digestive secretions, low stomach pH that have random intolerances to lectins/oxalates or are prone to insulin resistance and they do well on keto

and there are the weaklings with a weak liver/pancreas/stomach whose only hope to digest anything and absorb calories is to drink juice and salivate overcooked starches

you need a certain level of health that is almost above the average in some aspects to be able to digest a meat and fat heavy diet. Keto is a diet for people who are somewhat robust

I wanted to ask whether you had noise sensitivity before the tetanus vaccine? I could sleep through anything before my tetanus vaccine, but gradually developed a noise sensitivity along with tinnitus after it.
Also bile dumping could cause sleep problems. Something I did for the liver helped my sleep a lot, whether it was TUDCA, drinking hot water or something else.
I'm not sure when I developed it. I think it got much worse last summer. And in my late teens I'd already not be able to sleep through noise. If I recall correctly Ive had the tetanus vaccine something like 8 times in my life
I actually tried the hot water thing and it had the benefit of stimulating peristalsis for me, need to get back on it

Truth, when i was carnivore it was the best periody in my teens, but i still craved carbs and afther 5 months i started to got insomnia almos every day (wich killed of the main benefit of the diet for me) .So i have to go back to carbs, i notice how all of them cause acne and some gas, i keep eating thinking that i would adapt eventually but after a few months a started to get TERRIBLE constipation, now i still have contipation but not as painfull (probably also has to do with social life stress). I thinking about taking thyroid and supplements, since restricting my diet even more than i already do will be coping.

I tried to eat some dairy and eggs these past few days. Quickly went from clear skin to acne

eggs (of any quality) dont cause any acne for me, but all dairy does. =(
are you male? I believe I've read hormonal shifts for men happen over the course of a day but they don't have these extreme peaks and troughs that women experience as part of their monthly menstruation.

Im female and I think exogenous hormones like those found in animal fats disrupt my delicate hormonal balance. Last time I tried taking progesterone the week before my cycle it gave me horrific cystic breakouts.

Egg yolks contain progesterone, dairy contains estrogen, prolactin... I've noticed most of my acne occurs the week before menstruation and my skin is recovering from that breakout for the rest of the cycle. I think I can get away with ingesting a little bit of animal fats as long as I time their intake correctly. The menstrual phase might be the right time to eat butter and yolks as everything bottoms out at that time


this matches the skin changes I've observed particularly when I experimented with progesterone

I got a phosphatidyl serine supplement, it's supposed to lower cortisol levels and improve sleep. Will be experimenting to see if it brings any improvements

I visited a TCM practitioner that specialises in tongue diagnostics and she noted that I'm low on cholesterol and got the impression that I've driven myself to a state of hypogonadism as a result of my 8 month long avoidance of cholesterol, animal fat, and animal hormones in egg yolks and butter. She expressed concerns that it's detrimental to my reproductive system.

I decided to increase my intake of the anabolic fatty animal products and have been eating a lot of butter and 4-5 eggs a day, not only to improve hormonal health and vitality, but also in a bid to increase the caloric density of my diet and hopefully get more restful sleep (at the risk of worsening acne/digestion/pcos).

What I've noticed is that my temperament has changed for the worse. I've become aggressive and resentful and it's getting increasingly harder to stave off negative thoughts. They just take over and my mind spirals into a pool of anger and frustration. I've read that the spiteful disposition is related to liver stress and it would make sense that the fat is putting pressure on my liver.

I suspect dwelling on the negative thoughts causes me to enter a vicious cycle of stress that further damages health: the burden on the liver irritates and inflames my system -> in my brain this takes the shape of negative thoughts in the day time and nightmares during sleep -> they give rise to more negative thoughts -> which in turn further stresses me physically.

I should've stopped eating so much fat earlier on, but my whole life Ive loved slathering half a stick of butter on everything and now it's gonna take a while to retrain my palate to enjoy butter-free foods. :???:

eating lots of butter and eggs has been the only thing that helped me gain weight, but THE DAIRY ESTROGEN has given me a horrific premenstrual migraine, mood swings and breast tenderness. It's the damn cow pregnancy hormones doing this to me. If I eat dairy as a staple I might as well just take estrogen based birth control pills. Nothing else gives me breast tenderness like this

Migraine was so bad that I woke up at 2 AM and it felt like my skull was split into two and I also had to hold back from vomiting. Lesson learned.

dairy is the devil

hi girl,eggs,even delicious ones from chickens that eat 20 grammes of cereals a day(wich is very low compare to usual chickens),do instantly increase my misanthropy,agressivity,and irritability tendencies,and all the feelings you mentionned,

my dreams get drastically worst most of the times i ate it this last year and there is a very displeasing phenomenon that occur where i fall in quicksand,the feeling is horendous.All the symptoms i mentionned were mostly present when i had symptoms of low DHT and low 5ar activity

My sister have been experiencing episodically premenstrual migraine,intense menstrual cramps,menstrual mood swings and breast tenderness when she does eat dairy(sometimes she eat dairy and she does not experience these symptoms),specifically when she drink coconut water or others foods that in theory inibit the 5 alpha reductase enzyme in the same period,she does have like you an history of high sweet potato consumption,and poor digestion(very likely sweet potato was a contributing factor)

I think my saliva drooling at night is causing the persistent acne in that one spot on my face. It's the side I sleep on and sometimes I can notice the dried up saliva there in the mornings

I'll be taking some steps to rule this out

1. mouth taping
2. targeting allergic rhinitis by rinsing my nose with purified sea water and avoiding dust, mold, smoke and allergenic foods
3. will be upping my oral hygiene: rinsing with xylitol/oil pulling/camphosal/SKKI, flossing, waterpik
4. will be sanitising my toothbrush regularly with alcohol and keeping it in a sunny place rather than the dark moist bathroom
5. change pillow case EVERY DAY (will get satin or silver infused)
6. train to sleep on my back
7. no dairy no eggs: clog my nose and make my acne worse
8. applying modest amounts of hypochlorous acid every 12 hours to manage the current infection and deter its spread. If I apply generous amounts it makes my skin worse and damages my moisture barrier

Do you get the same symptoms from just eggs without butter? Ever tested that out? I have read that eggs make your acne worse so there seems to be some hormonal effect, but do they also cause give you migraines or breast tenderness?

been quite sick these past few days. Started off with a sore throat due to intense stress i've been put under. It progressed to sinusitis, then migraines and yesterday vomiting and diarrhoea
Woke up to my liver or gallbladder hurting today
Been fasting for many hours since my digestive capacity/stomach pH/bile has diminished. Before the vomiting started I was burping up food that I ingested 15-16 hours ago which probably means it didn't leave the stomach.

Also I got a hiatal hernia at the time that food stopped digesting. I think this was triggered by the very aggressive osteopath i visited on thursday. After her consultation I started getting hiccups, and was burping all the time, then started getting nauseous. I think the osteopath messed up my diaphragm

Might be bit late now but maybe consider transferring to open university, and ask for credit transfer?

Most likely we can agree that you have cholestasis (fatty liver)which is causing bile to go back into stomach, and leak into blood.

I would recommend that you work with someone that has clinical experience and has actually helped people reverse their cholestasis i.e. Garrett Smith (Nutrition detective/low vitamin A guy). Look up the testimonials on his YouTube channel.

For liver/bile issues, I'm taking lactoferrin, taurine, zinc picolinate, selenium and molybdenum on a empty stomach, a hour before a meal. Taking these minerals and also doing other things mentioned in the "Love your Liver program" is giving me good results: my cognitive function improved -- no more brain fog, bowel movements have become regular, no more bloating skin clearer, hair much thicker and shedding reduced.

I have diaphragm dysfunction caused by the osteopath. The viral infection has passed however i continue to be unable to eat without burping, nausea and food rising up my esophagus. This isn't a problem that I had before the osteopath and I don't know how to fix it. This is really bad because I have a a lot of stress ahead of me and a 10 hour travel (plane and train) in two days
Things are just getting worse and worse don't know what to do my skin is flaring up I haven't had seborrhoeic dermatitis in so long and it's coming back

problem resolved over time, but not sure if I'll ever repeat the osteopath experience, she did say there were so many things wrong with my skeleton

If I may ask, what did she say was wrong with your skeleton?

she mentioned so many things, I can't remember them all
jaws, palate (she recognised i wasn't breastfed long enough and said my past treatment with braces contributes to the tension in my head/jaw and my horrible migraines). I had a period when I had tension every single morning that progressed into a migraine. My upper jaw would be so painful and i could feel all my teeth. Similar to the sensation I had when they expanded my palate with braces years ago. All the more reason I should get double jaw surgery


scoliosis (im not sure), lumbar lordosis, my legs were out of alignment, one of them was a cm shorter, she had to adjust my coccyx and said it's out of alignment likely due to falls. I did fall on my tailbone multiple times in the past when roller skating. also said the valves of my GI tract are all messed up, my diaphragm too, that I have thyroid issues and parasites

sounded pretty pessimistic :cry
though to be fair when I went there I had a cold already so I wasn't in the best shape
