Puffy eyes after starting Peat.

[north]

I want to ask for my sisters sake, whos also started some Peat things after ive told her about it.

She said shes gotten puffy eyes since starting eating coconut oil, drinking milk and eating more salt.
She felt ok as far as i know before trying anything peat'ish, she feels good now too but the puffy eyes has never happened before she told me.

I myself have also noticed the same thing with puffy eyes, and tried to get a grip of why it happens, but so far im not sure caus i cant track down any specific food related to it. Maybe salt but i thought thats supposed to improve fluid-levels?

Thanks! :)

Increase in calcium without an increase in salt might be the cause

But she also increased salt, which is why im confused since salt should regulate fluids better right? or am i wrong? hmm

Is the coconut oil refined? Perhaps its an allergic reaction to unrefined coconut oil.

I think milk and pectin in OJ or other fruits can be a problem
for someone who is not used to these kind of foods.
Milk should be increased slowly to let body adjust to it.
Digestion of milk improves with time.
Cottage cheese or home made farmers cheese are easier to digest.
Thyroid or progesterone supplement increases ability to digest milk.
For female daily raw carrot salad is very important to keep
estrogen in check. RP mentioned that high estrogen increases
celiac disease in female.
RP has also mentioned that for female it takes about 6 weeks
to see a steady improvement from his dietary principle
and for male the steady improvement is immediate.

"Puffiness, usually most noticeable in the face in the morning and the feet at night, is another common symptom of estrogen excess, caused by the retention of water and sodium."
