Sorry to read that you were ill. It does sound like you had a reaction to food. Glad that things are improving.

Hi all... it's been a while. I've been traveling and celebrating and as such I've gone off my strict no dairy no grains diet. It did not agree with me. I have had digestive issues, as well as a...

This is something I wrote in honour of a meadow nearby. It helped me to heal from one of the worst bouts of arthritis (and deeply stressful series of years) I ever had. (There is also a...

Thanks, all. Still dairy-free...and believe it or not, I'm not going into withdrawal convulsions. : ) I miss the cream, but my almond milk works have decently. So does thick coconut milk. Face has...

Hey TAWFG!

(First time poster; long time lurker.) I LOVE your journal. I think chocolate covered bacon would be the ultimate treat! I'm going to try that sometime... not to mention some of your...

Very cool, Cynarin!

With my relatives, I get ridiculed on a weekly basis for what I eat and why...except lately, Sunday dinners have taken on a distinct low-carb leaning. No more desserts either. And some of them have...

Hi Owly, your field of study sounds awesome, and your career goals even more so! That's great!

Still no dairy...but I ate a lot of fruit yesterday. Will track meals more carefully today...SEE? I hate tracking! I knew I'd lose interest in it. I'll try to get back to tracking today.

Off dairy now for more than a week. Noticed that I don't have as much eye goop when I wake up, not as MUCH mucus (although still some), and I think I'm a lot less bloated around the face. I've not...

Hey Cynarin,

Thanks for your support! I'm going to be an exile, too. I've had enough of working for $2/hr. But I'm still working on an exit strategy.

Ok, so yesterday... I didn't completely track my cals/fat/carbs intake because...

1. I didn't know how to count the 8 homemade meatballs I ate (all primal ingredients).
2. I caved slightly...

Hi all,

This question is especially for the gals, since from what I've read in the forums so far seems to suggest that women have a harder time with dairy on the PB.

How long did it take...

Day 3

cals 1,418

fat(g): 108.7

protein(g): 117.8

Still no dairy. :)

Thanks! I'll try skipping b-fast and have it for lunch instead. I feel a diff only 3 days in with no dairy... I think this might help a lot, too.

Hi Jazmin, thanks for the reply! I was reading through a bit of your journal and WOW! You are a great writer. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my little bit of drivel.

BTW, I'm also in...

Last summer I was at 170+lbs and a bloated mess of inflammation and pain. Went primal in July with a few slips/misses. Lost some lbs since then, and am looking to break through my plateau of 161.
