It turns out that I react negatively to the denatured proteins in pasteurized dairy (lactose intolerance was ruled out because I have the same reaction to lactose free pasteurized dairy, such as butter and hard cheese). However, pasteurized dairy was a no go: it gave me a mild headache and general “off” feeling followed up later by a rash and lots of GI distress. At that point I reintroduced eggs and raw dairy, with great results and a welcome way to add fat to leaner meals. I still stuck with only meat and water for another month or 2, just to make sure my gut was fully healed. The ebb and flow of die off symptoms were not fun, but after 2-3weeks it was gone. In order to finally kill it off, I had to drop ALL trace carbs for a time. After a couple months of getting used to carnivore I finally cracked down on the candida and figured out why it kept holding on. This is the only way of eating that finally put me in touch with my gut so I could learn what was helping and what was hindering it from healing. I think I felt such extreme relief because many of my issues stemmed from my candida populated leaky gut. Seasonal allergies in the spring were also an unpleasant experience.Įven during my first week of carnivore, the difference in my energy was like night and day – I already felt better than I did on low carb, but I still had a lot of work and adaptation to do. ![]() I learned later that I also had systemic candida overgrowth which explained my liver stress and skin problems – mainly consisting of chronic rashes and acne. ![]() I had textbook depression, which in my case was largely linked to my sleeping disorder DSPS (Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome) which I had been fighting since puberty. I was unaware of some of my health problems at the time, and I believed others were not curable. If you would like to reach out for further questions you are welcome to message me on or email I started eating this way for overall health and fitness. I started carnivore in July of 2015 – so at the time of writing this I am past the 5 year mark. So much has changed since my 1 year interview and I hope this is useful for people that are new and experienced alike. After a few years of eating animal based I would like to offer a longer and more updated account of my experience. ![]()
