    I’m not actively taking folate. I didn’t even think it was a thing but this skin flare up seems to be onset with the coffee. So coffee, sugar, cream, could all be doing it. Or maybe the vitamins like I said. I remember taking a multivitamin once and I got really sick. Also, when I took B vitamins in the past I got mouth sores that my doctor told me were cau...

    Thanks for stopping by. So I don’t normally peel. It’s exclusively because of things I eat and over the years I’ve learned what I can eat that doesn’t trigger it. Are you saying maybe I just need folate?

    Update: tried the same combo of vitamins yesterday and didn’t feel any better so I don’t know why I did the first time. today my face is peeling hella badly. I’m thinking it’s the coffee (for some reason I’m craving it a lot recently). Still no gluten. I switched back to tea but if the face isn’t resolved the only new addition that remains are the dai...

    Update: after feeling like I was dying yesterday I decided to take a few vitamins this morning to see if that did anything (it honestly feels like going gluten free is similar to cutting off a limb to stop a paper cut from bleeding. Not worth it and very damaging) anyhow I took: D3, Benfotiamine, Zinc, B12 i feel much better but still not...

    Update: feeling better today. Had a Mars bar yesterday. Maybe sugar in small doses is ok. Have also developed a craving for coffee lately. I used to be strictly a tea guy

    Thanks for checking in. Yeah still having issues. I feel worse tbh. It’s almost like my body can’t use these non gluten carbs. I’ve eaten whey for years and not had trouble. I removed honey from my protein sandwich (the one I put whey in) and felt a bit better today so maybe it was the honey idk. But overall just feel tired and drained like I can’t get...

    update: Hard to concentrate and brain fog lately. No gluten for over a month. Today I ate: sweet potatoes, oatmeal, ground beef, gluten free bread, coconut oil, whey protein, peanut butter, black beans, honey, and Oolong tea. That’s what I eat most days.

    I’m more than a month gluten free at this point and I’ve done years before. Stop projecting. Sugar and white potatoes cause rosacea flare up and inflammation. End of

    You must not have read my previous post where I mentioned the downsides of sugar and russet potatoes on my skin. I’m insulted
  10. SargeMaximus
    I don’t get it
  11. SargeMaximus
    It’s not that simple. I work a physically demanding job. If I cut out oatmeal I will starve to death as there isn’t much I can eat as it is

    Everything I eat is potassium dense. Sweet potatoes, peanut butter, oatmeal, beans. It’s all potassium. Edit: I added maca capsules today and maca has iodine supposedly

    8 minutes ago, Wheatwacked said: Really? Why is that? It makes no sense that improving your diet would hurt your body. currently only take benfotiamine, vitamin D3, and Zinc (sometimes)
  14. SargeMaximus
    Update: For some reason I was absolutely drained today. Ate what I normally do except for 2 eggs which I wasn’t able to eat this morning. Other than that, all the same. Drained and sluggish all day. When I got home I felt like I was literally dying and ate so much food. Potato chips, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, ground beef, Greek yogurt, olive oil, several h...

    Update: benfotiamine came in the mail today. @knitty kitty how many is optimal? I’m currently starting with 1 per meal Not much else to report. Had some stomach discomfort today but I think I had some undercooked food
  16. SargeMaximus
    Yeah I’m close but I feel fatigued most days :(
  17. SargeMaximus
    Update: Today my face is breaking out. Extreme redness and raw. All I ate yesterday out of the norm was a small bag of cheetos and some ginger ale. Everything else was all gluten free. I think I’m nearing a month of gluten free if you don’t count an occasional cliff bar. I haven’t had one of those for a while tho as I made my own substitution. It’s two p...

    Update: Been having Oolong Tea every day for about a week. Last few days I made a whole pot (stove top pot) of water and used it for oolong tea. Drank it all. Aside from extreme hunger I’m not noticing anything from it
  19. SargeMaximus
    Update: Feeling irritated and brain fog last few days. Not eating any gluten except for whatever is in a clif bar (can’t be enough to matter, certainly isn’t as much as when I was eating pizza and burgers. Back then I felt fine, good even. Now I feel bad)
  20. SargeMaximus
    Update again: Took an omega 3 pill and the swelling seems to be down. Even had some ginger ale in tea which didn’t cause a flare up so maybe it’s not the sugar, maybe it’s the potato chips (and excess omega 6. Seems more likely now) So yeah, interesting weekend
  21. SargeMaximus
    For some reason I can’t edit my post above. Anyhow another update: My right hand and fingers have been slightly swollen for a few days. I think it’s the sugar. I’ve had arthritis-like inflammation in my right hand since I was a teen and I can always tell when I’m eating something inflammatory since it flares up. When I eat a good diet it disappears. So who...
  22. SargeMaximus
    Update: Yesterday was weird. Granted, I didn’t eat till about 2 pm because I was out of food so I had to make beans, oatmeal, and sweet potatoes separately. Which takes time. anyhow, absolutely starving all day. I ate a TON of food after I made it all but it seemed to have no effect. I slowly lost energy till I went to bed at about 10pm. Ate a cliff b...

    Update: things were good yesterday. Ate the oatmeal and sweet potatoes so no idea what caused the digestive issues before. Gonna try eating black beans today since I need so many calories. Finding it hard to eat enough. Even though I added an extra meal a day
  24. SargeMaximus
    I didn’t eat any burgers that day. Meanwhile today I did and had good energy and no digestive issues all day
  25. SargeMaximus
    Update: IBS is back today (haven’t had it in over 10 years) here’s all I ate today: Breakfast: Gluten Free Oatmeal (says on the package) Coconut Oil Sweet Potatoes Ground Beef Olive Oil Orange Juice Gluten Free Bread with Coconut Oil and Peanut Butter Suppliments: B1 and Quercetin Lunch: Oatmeal ...
