I've been trying to be healthier and lose a few pounds and thought I would try to paleo diet since it seems to go well with my food allergies anyway. My problem is since I've been on it (6 days) I have had the diarrhea. Is this normal?

Hmm, that is a new one to me since it stopped my diarrhea. Im sorry your dealing with it :(

Are you maybe having a candida die off? I know its a common symptom of that to have diarrhea. I wish I could help more but didnt find much when I did a search on the net for you. Hopefully someone will be able to answer better.

How are you preparing the foods? any frying in oils?

I read in Protein Power that diarrhea is common when people go on a low carb diet.

You must be not eating very many carbs even though the Paleo Diet isn't as low carb as Atkins.

I also get it when I first start a low carb diet. It should clear up in a week or two. It's your body adjusting to the new way of eating.

I did not get that; however, I have been plagued with C my whole life, which cleared up with Paleo -- so maybe I would've gotten it had my problem been D. I will say this:

the other day I walked the 2-1/2 miles to school and when i got there (barely in time) had to sit on the pot for 20 minutes with scary D. (Never mind the misery of public pooping.) I thought about it. I was definitely not glutened. I think it was walnuts. I had had a huge blob of walnuts and prunes the day before (okay, prunes are a bit notorious too)...

nuts can be hard to digest. So if you've been eating lots of those....?

Hope you feel better. If not, maybe you can ease into Paleo...

Are you eating something you don't normally eat?

I haven't been eating too differently. I normally eat a little bit of rice every day and that's it for grains. Today I had a cup of rice and my D is gone. I don't know if the diet is right for me. :huh:

I don't have a ton of experience with the condition. My experience is in changing locals and diets often. If you switched to the Paleo diet and started to have D right away, there's a high probability that it's due to an increased consumption of fruit/nuts/veg. Switching from a high-carb diet to a mostly-protein diet will due that to a lot of people. If you keep fruits and nuts to a low and up the rice for a few days, I bet that it goes away. Just an idea. ;)

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Unless your blood antibody levels are 10x the celiac disease positive level they usually do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I haven't had any of this blood work and my GI doctor immediately scheduled the endoscopy with biopsy based on the large area of inflammation found during my colonoscopy and me relating all the other symptoms I'm experiencing. If the blood testing is positive do you still have to have the endoscopy with a positive biopsy to be definitively diagnosed with celiac? Seems like a waste of money and risk to do it backwards 😕

      glutened?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many super sensitive celiacs do have issues with this, especially if they work in a bakery or area where flour may be in the air. Some even seem to have issues being in areas where bread is being baked. Here are some threads here on this:

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had a doctor for a few years too long who would always begin any response to nearly any question or comment I had, especially if I requested any type of test, with: "Mr. Adams, it looks like you've been doing some Google searches..." He never took me seriously, even when my total cholesterol levels were routinely over 300 and my father died in his 40's of a heart attack. Needless to say, I switched doctors and now have one that is in my corner.
