Say it's worst case scenario and I have appendicitis...

Is it possible to wal with diet?

How do I avoid surgery?

Anyone know any AV remedies/point of view?

NEED HELP. URGENT.

About 2 hours ago at work I noticed when I applied even the slightest pressure to my Mid Right Andominal region it produced a very sharp pain. 

I did workout and play hockey today so it's possibly a pulled muscle. But it feels internal. A quick google and the pain looks like it's around the Liver, duodonem area.

Anyone know what could be causing pain, and how to cure/settle it?

I immediately though appendicidis because of my constipation issue, it seems a little high up for that to be the cause(I'm hoping).

GS,

I have ordered the Lower bowel balance pills. They should arrive within a couple days now.

A book "Preserving Food without Freezing or Canning" might come useful. I'd go as far as say (for now) that "it's a must".

I'll check it out, thank you!

any truth to this?

wondering what the most beneficial digestive state to be in is. Until reading this article I assumed a predominantly meat diet would leave you constantly acidic. which would explain why there are reports of people losing hair/teeth on the primal diet.

Ahh ok, thanks for clearing up my confusion with "lacto"

Is it safe to say what causes an insulin spike in one person, might not in another? Or is the list of insulin causing foods pretty cut n dry? I'm just trying to refine my deit for maximum internal/external healt, performance, and longevity.
What prebiotic foods would fall into this catagory? Sweet potatoes and other root vegetables are the only thing that come to mind.

Can anyone back up AVs claims about raw honey? How it helps digest meats and fats? I can't find anything on google about it...

I had a terrible reaction to Really raw honey. I ate it with meat and butter. When eating raw honey my bowels transit time increased, and had a massive breakout of acne across my entire face.

Possible that Increased transit time is because honey helped digest more of my meals? Could acne be a detox of some type?

Waiting for my acne to clear up and will try a different brand.

AVs raw honey claims seem outrageous to me. If anyone has any evidence to support it please share!

Why would one go zero carb? Is it strictly for healing purposes? Can it be used long term? I'm mainly questioning longevity on a ZC diet.

Eve heart, you make a very good point about processed paleo foods causing gut irritation. Would this still apply to nuts/seeds? I'm sure we possessed the capability to stone grind them, and would think it's te preferred way to eat them. I even see nature shows where chimps are smashing nuts/seeds with stones.

GS, I'm not strong enough to do VCO detox right now. I tried and it left me almost incapable of walking. I will try again once I'm home in California.

Yeah I don't plan on using them long term.  The tahini is raw stoneground, so it could just be the raw fat from it that helped me pass stool so easily. I believe they are 60% oil.  I think eliminating vegetables has helped a lot as well. I had no idea fiber could be so harmful.... Everyone was suggesting I up my fiber intake...

I might try and make my own Mac nut butter to replace tahini.

I've started eating raw(marinated) Spanish mackerel. And soon will try raw ground beef. Both from WF. It's very expensive, but now that I'm not buying vegetables I should be able to handle the cost. I'm going to continue to use fermented vegetables like sauerkraut and pickles.

Important update for anyone suffering from chronic constipation!!

The Last two night before bed I ate about 5-6 tablespoons of raw Stone ground black tahini, with a few slices of raw ginger root(read it helps regulate the bowels). This morning I had the easiest, most normal bowel movement/elimination I've had in months. It was quick, decent consistency, and most importantly, painless....  The reason i suspect it was the black tahini is due to the color of my stool, pure black. Has never been like that since first 8 day stretch of constipation. I've also limited my fiber the past 2-3 days to only fruit, and sauerkraut(with meat) . A few slices of onion/garlic/cilantro leaves with my meat. I've also started drinking the broth from crock pot every time I eat meat, as well as 3-4 table spoons of Kerrygold. 

Things I've had greatest success with forming natural stools with. Of course castor oil, Epsom salts, and enemas work. But they are very harsh IMO.

1. Black Tahini
2. Peanut butter
3. AV green apple/olive oil formula
4. AV chia seed formula(passed in 2 days)
5. Less fiber, more butter(kerrygold)

Before you write that you suspect Really Raw of feeding their bees syrup, you can ask them about their practices. I ask beekeepers about winter feeding and mite control.

I have tasted Really Raw Fermented Honey without any adverse effects, but honey is not part of my diet because I can see no reason to eat something that is so painfully (to me) sweet. I prefer sweetness amidst more complex flavors, as naturally occurs in many fruits and vegetables.

Someone on the PD Facebook page said they contacted them and they refused to sign a letter saying they did not feed their bees syrup. That's the only reason for my suspicion.
