Hi,
I would like to be eating Peat. I've been trying for the past year (October 2012). Unfortunately it seems like it is counterproductive in my case (until I can deal with the problem).
I think I have some really bad infection (parasite). It is in my gut. I am still having stool tests done (and need to find somewhere that offers blood testing of hormones, vitamins, trace elements etc) and they haven't found anything yet (though they found blastocystis hominis last year... should I trust negative tests results more recently? No change in symptoms... Actually, deep worsening) Whatever my issue is has been going on for a few years at least but ever since Peating, it feels life-threatening. Monsters ripping my gut apart feeling, constant malnourishment and hungry feeling, but hard to eat anything, the smallest bit of food makes me feel so full like I'm going to burst open, hard to breathe, heart pounding, face became more inflamed I think, can't ever sleep... Before, when I ate largely cooked vegetables and grains (I liked quinoa a lot) it wasn't so painful. I had bad issues but I was more functional by a huge margin. Whatever's in me makes it hard to drink oj and especially milk. I do ok with meat, and eggs are easy. Potatoes aren't too bad. Oddly, ice cream doesn't seem to be too bad - but I can only eat so much fat (including the pufa in it). So apart from the ice cream it seems like everything with sugar is having a really bad effect. No matter how much anti inflammatory stuff, anti-serotonin drugs, carrot salad, thyroid, sulfur, whatever... everything has only gotten worse.
Exception - For a brief period of time I was living on a potato soup with salt gelatin and coconut oil and though it got to be unbearable to only eat that, I think I gained about 20 pounds or so at that time. I still look wasted away but every pound is important right? Maybe I should try that again...
I don't know if anyone can help, but I thought I'd ask what anybody thinks.
