BM this morning quite yellow. Residue on TP. Burping quite a bit today after foods. 

Need to chill out and relax..... today was hectic, didn't stop. Not too keen on days like that all the time.

Had shocking sleep last night and face has felt itchy/irritated since having moved to my dads house yesterday afternoon.

I woke with whiteheads on my chin (which I haven't had now in quite some time!) ... :( 

Potentially because of my new Vitamin C enriched organic oil for repair. I won't use it tonight and see what happens.

My breathing has been annoying today... also had some bubbling in the stomach. The bubbling started up again yesterday after eating that piece of lamb backstrap which was quite old.... I also ate the soup this morning which had the lamb stock .. which may not be all that great for me..

Just found a great blog, called "a dietitian gone paleo" - she sounds just like me to be honest! it's crazy...

I should try and get in contact with her: http://adietitiangonepaleo.wordpress.com/

I realise that I eat sweet potato, even though I'm on the SCD diet - but honestly, I simply cannot survive let alone thrive on a diet of meat, fish, some fruits and some vegetables! Its crazy. I can't eat eggs or dairy like other people on SCD... It is not sustainable if I need to gain weight etc!!! It would mean I would have to eat some type of animal meat for breakfast lunch and dinner to maintain my weight and feel full - which in itself is ridiculous. Especially considering that my stool test reported back that I have low pancreatic enzymes available to breakdown proteins.

I have to watch what I eat to a degree of ultimate insanity in some ways. The things I have to watch for are:

• GLUTEN FREE - celiac disease!
• SCD legal foods
• No Dairy
• No Eggs
• No Yeast
• No Sugar
• No Nuts (at the moment)
• Low Amines, Salicylates and Glutamates
• PLUS a consistent rotation of foods as to not cause an intolerance to an overexposed food (which I believe began to occur with bananas - but now have cut back hardcore on them and occasionally have them)

As you can see - that pretty much limits me to eating dust. YESSSSS.

I am 55kg. 5"9' ..... Which means underweight. It's not great to be honest.

It's infuriating and I severely dislike this situation.. It makes it hard to know what to eat - "is it THIS that's upsetting me ? Or is it the combination of foods not agreeing with me? or is it too much exposure to amines/salicylates?" - constantly running through my mind. 

My acne gets worse/feels irritated when somethings wrong in my body but it's generally impossible to know WHAT set it off! It could have been the flipping avocadoes I ate 4 days ago!!! ARGH!

Luckily I don't have a problem with fruit :) I love fruit... but you know, I cannot live off fruit, and if I did I could just as likely start to become intolerant to it just from too much exposure.

My symptoms are definitely not as hardcore as many of the people's I've read about - but they CAN get that way. I HAVE had episodes consisting of constant nausea, headaches, extreme dizziness and vertigo, diarrhea, brain fog, shooting pains in head. This happened once after consuming BULK onion and BULK almonds. SINCE then, I have not eaten ANY nuts. I have been eating onion though which has been fine.

There is also this issue with the breathing difficulties. It got better for about a week... about a week ago. I cut down on the bananas and avocados (one idea), and began to rotate the foods more which has helped. I also believe the Zinc and B6 have helped, along with Vitamin C and also the Minerals drink.

This week however I ate pumpkin and it started up again. Not saying that it was the pumpkin but it's just so confusing!

Theres the issue also with insulinaemia.... pumpkin and the like are basically sugar when cooked. High GI... I cannot eat too much pumpkin/carrots/orange veg anyway because I have carotenaemia! WOoooooooo. It makes it a journey everyday to decide what to eat - and because my diet is so limited it's hard to stop myself and refrain from eating 39 bananas SO I CAN actually FEEL FULL/SATISFIED!

I bought some green split peas today :) Which i'm super excited about - I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE split peas. The mushyness... creaminess :) Mmmmm..
First organic store I went into on the packet said they were processed on the same equipment as grains etc therefore may contain traces of Gluten - far out! I went to another Organic store I love and bought some of the bulk supply they have, and just gave them a REALLY thorough rinse. 

They are now soaking and I shall cook them tomorrow morn !

So.. the symptoms I get if something doesn't agree are generally just bubbling /gurgling intestines area, irritated face (acne feels itchy),
