Hey Jane,
Sorry for taking a week to get back to you, been a bit busy around the Christmas season!
I did around 4 months of a carnivore diet which included beef, lamb, a little bit of chicken and some bacon.
I then did around a month of a ‘lion diet’ eating only fatty red meat but didn’t really see a difference from the previous 4 months. During these periods I ate strictly animal products using beef fat and no garlic or onions or anything.
I actually tried introducing some fruits the last few weeks and it made my eczema flare really bad and gave me a lot of digestive issues.
I really think there is some kind of overgrowth going on in my gut but it’s hard to know what that is and what to do about it. I see some people using binders such as active charcoal & bentonite clay so may give this a go. I also see a few people having great success with antibiotics but I think it would be impossible to convince a doctor to prescribe.
I Have recently done a mold test on my home as well and a hair mineral test for heavy metals to see if I can get any clues but waiting for results.
Thanks for your kind words and your book recommendation. I appreciate you taking the time to write and encourage a new member like myself because it’s been an incredibly tough year for myself and I know many others but good to know we all in this together!
Have a good Christmas and New years period!
Cheers,
Ryan
