My stress is so much better, I love it but I suspect ketosis would be better since my blood sugar isn't exactly even. I can tolerate eggs as long as i'm not eating them permenantly like I used to so i'm hoping to be a bit more flexible with some of the other items on failsafe. I tolerate goat butter just fine. But actually now i'm on the b12 I seem to be tolerating everything much better so i'll have to retrial a lot of things. My protein tolerance has gone way up but I still can't eat too much in a portion. Still i'm pleasantly excited. Is the sheep's yogurt not glutamatey? I tried some fish from Morrisons the other day. I think you mentioned it was Morrisons? Gosh I had so much backpain. Hi,

I tried some fish from Morrisons the other day. I think you mentioned it was Morrisons? Gosh I had so much backpain.

I'll be writing a few clarification posts on SCD/GAPS and low carbohydrate diets in the future - as I believe they are very useful for dysbiosis (just not for food chemical intolerance!). The gift is in figuring out which you have! Hi Girrlock Holmes

It's also very rich and creamy. I'm not really eating any more protein than I was before, it's really all fat. I get a lot of calories from that Woodlands sheep's milk yoghurt (which you really must try!). Now, where did we get up to with this? Have you ever tried experimenting with pure Jersey/Guernsey cream? And it's definitely not salt? Or Tesco's dodgy fridges? Is it only dairy or beef tallow too? I have seen goat's cream on sale now and then, if you can stand the flavour! Does it happen if you sweeten the cream? I'm wondering if it could be a histamine reaction in your stomach to A1 peptides, or possibly a carnitine deficiency. Hi Elena

A2 dairy includes goat, sheep, buffalo, zebu, and any other strain of ancient cattle. Guernsey milk is about 90% A2, and Jersey is about 50% (?). It is definitely worth trying goat and sheep milk in particular. I get no symptoms from them. It's like you're not on dairy at all. Hi Leroidelyon.

I won't be doing carb-ups deliberately for now, only when my self control slips! I think they may be useful for people who plateau. I have had to do them before when I have plateaued on a low amount of carbs/calories. They seem to get the body burning again. Hi lovehealthsuccess.

I guess it depends what the problem is. He recommends ketosis for diabetics. Hi Chris

Reading your blog (older posts) helped the effort immensely and I wanted to thank you for that. Treatment for the overgrowth along with the diet have improved my health by quite a bit – before I had constant bloating and pain, now as long as I steer clear of most carbs I do well, although my doctor has asked me to challenge myself with them now and then and sometimes I oblige him. Something that I’ve continued to deal with even after the switch to low carb is slow weight loss. I thought that would have picked up a lot faster on a high fat diet. I can see a rise in the metabolism, but not by much. I’m excited to hear that you’re back on a ketogenic diet and I hope that you share some menu ideas. I too felt calm and well rested when I first switched but this feeling has eluded me as of late. Best.

I can't keep doing this. At the same time I don't think I could do ketosis when I have such a low tolerance for protein.
