I can't stop reading, and can't find all the answers that would apply to me so I am selfishly creating my own thread. First time poster. Pain in my L SI Joint/L Low Back/L Hip caused me to search vastly for answers both structurally and nutritionally. It all led me to Andrew Johnston, who is high in the chain of CHEK practitioners in ATL. He flipped my world upside down with his notions that my kale/veggie smoothies, green juices, nuts and avocados were bad for me. I have come to realize that my prescription from him follows a ***t load of RP knowledge. I CAN"T STOP READING. So here is me in a nutshell. Look I'm in a nutshell…how did I get in this little nutshell…bad Austin Powers quote….anyways
26 years old. 6'4" and only weigh 165 LBS. I eat all day. Pain in L SI/L Low Back/L Hip for 8 isn years. Used to be involved in tons of sports till I started trying to heal myself recently because I can't handle the instability, aches, and stiffness anymore! Used to eat TONS of milk and cereal as a child. Developed horrible hand eczema in my partying years (21-25) while consuming massive amounts of beer/liquor/shitty food on a daily basis. I cut out gluten and dairy and it went away. Since being told dairy is very beneficial, I tried to introduce it back in by consuming goat's milk, raw cheeses, and cottage cheese. The bubbles under my hand began to reappear. My stool is never "hard", and can sometimes not have any "form" to it. Never rancid or unnatural smelling though. I do notice I have cold fingers and toes now that winter has arrived. I get sunshine on my 30 min walks with my dog in the morning. I try to breath diaphragmatically and get about 8 hrs sleep/night. Here is a day of food and supplementation of me.
Water Intake:
60-80 oz/day
Morning:
Banana (I now know these are bad?) mixed berry, Coconut Milk, "Green Can" Gelatin, Unrefined Coconut Oil Smoothie
2 Organic Free Range eggs
2 Local Breakfast Sausage patties
1 Cup Organic Costa Rican Coffee
Snack on Org Popcorn with EVOO and Sea Salt with Dates or dried cranberries and maybe a slice of lunch meat.
Lunch:
Sandwich on gluten free bread with tomato, mayo mustard, ham, turkey, pickles
Or
Leftovers from dinner
Snack on an orange, apple, or pear and eat some Coconut oil and maybe another slice of meat
Dinner:
I roast a whole organic chicken once a week and have that with some sort of potatoes and carrots or something of that nature.
or
Quinoa pasta with ground protein (beef or turkey) with squash, garlic, onions, mushrooms, organic marinara, EVOO, seasonings
or
Tacos with corn tortillas, ground beef or turkey, taco seasoning, squash, onions, garlic with pico de gallo.
or
Something else
Supplements:
1/2 tsp ground eggshells with half lemon squeezed on top and ingested with meal approx. 6 hours later when pasty (any other easier suggestions of doing this would be greatly appreciated)
3 drops of Vit D3/K12 liquid
1 TBSP Great Lakes gelatin
Thoughts on why I might be experiencing the inability to gain weight? How to start eating dairy or if I even should with my obvious problems? Why I might be having all this joint pain/dysfunction and instability? Why my stools do not fit the description of healthy? I just signed up for the intro courses with Paul CHEK so I feel like this stuff is getting me miles ahead of the curve (not to sound conceited but I have never been addicted to reading like I am now!) Thanks and I am happy to be a n00b here! Live long and prosper…pun intended
