Still no urges. Eliminations becoming less frequent and increasingly more difficult.

Also started getting sharp pains in my chest, and various regions of my abdominals. Did some research and think it could be acid reflux problem, not sure. This experience has exhausted me. I'm growing more and more lethargic each day.

Welcoming Committee / Re: Tips for transitioning to raw paleo?
« on: January 11, 2015, 11:35:23 pm »
If your uncomfortable with meat maybe ease your way into it slowly. I'm currently in the process of switching from cooked paleo to raw paleo.  Just this week I started making Spanish mackerel ceviche(only 5.99/lb wild caught), and started eating raw ground beef with egg yolks. I do great with avocados and Mac nuts as well.

Primal Diet / Where to get organic raw peanuts in USA
« on: January 10, 2015, 11:02:01 pm »
I want to make AVs but formula. I cannot find a quality source of organic raw peanuts. Everything at WF is roasted. Where are you guys getting them from?

Would jungle peanuts be acceptable, or even superior?

I've read a few people on here that claimed lots of fresh raw milk helped them

Primal Diet / Raw honey risks
« on: January 09, 2015, 10:38:00 am »
How much raw honey can one safely consume. Do we risk diabetes/dental problems  if we eat too much?

Also wondering about Wee Bee honey brand. Is it truly raw? Right now I'm using really raw honey, but heard they feed bees syrup.

I remember reading Native Americans immediately after a kill would eat the stomach and it's contents.  Seems more appealing and could possibly have the same effect. I'll have to look up the source again. I believe it was a Weston a price reading.

Pelvic floor dysfunction is so rare in young males. Which type do you have? By "type" I mean is it a tear, or a nerve problem, or a muscle weakness? If you know the type, you can start to think about a solution. For example, a tear might need to be repaired by surgery, whereas a muscle weakness needs to be exercised, and a nerve problem might be corrected by learning to relax.

I have very weak inner abdominal walls. I have a very bad neck,back,hips, and feet from 15 years of ice hockey. And today I had Lower abdominal pain when trying to pass stool.

I think my abuse of Epsom salt and Castor oil could have damaged my colon. What if I perform enema incorrectly? That is the main fear I'm having. I'm definitely all for doing it. I'm inexperienced and don't want to damage myself anymore.

Do I need a special chiropractor to help for constipation? Would they be able to diagnose Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?

Tribe Called Paleo... are you now doing water enemas or olive oil enemas when you are having trouble pooping?

Did you try and get Barefoot Herbalist MH's LBB capsules?

I have not done enemas. The doctor advised against doing them. Said that it could rupture or injure my colon. I have not bought the lower bowel balance pills yet. Very pricy and money is tight. In 2 months I'll be home and be able to order them.

I heard really raw honey and honey Pacifica feeds there bees sugar syrups/corn syrup! Does anyone know a few reputable brands that are not just labeled raw, but are unheated, organic/non Gmo? I need a brand that's safe to buy from?

So you guys don't think pasturized butter will hurt my constipation. I was hoping it would help, then I read AVs book. He claims Cooke fats harden inside the body! I'm just looking to eliminate all foods that could cause any problems for me.

Is the really raw honey brand a safe buy?

I need to get more fat into my diet.

So far Avocados, young coconut/coconut oil. And ground beef. I think WF said it was 15% fat.

What do you guys think of:

Raw Mac nuts
Raw Olives... Are they edible? I've read they're not

Unsalted Kerrygold butter. Would this help or complicate my constipation? It is pasteurized butter, but grass fed.

Then have foods that don't require much chewing, like raw ground beef, raw fish, or raw eggs. Also vegetable juice works wonders here. And raw honey. And any raw dairy. I would suggest avoiding the pink salmon in particular because most of it is farmed, and all of it is GMO, even the wild variety, since the GMO pink salmon from farms escaped and contaminated the wild populations' genetics. But if all you can have is raw farmed pink salmon, it's still a lot better than anything cooked, IMO.

It's possible that the reason you have trouble chewing a lot is because your teeth are weak from a deficient diet and too much toxins. But I think they will heal in time if you give them the right nutrients and the tools to help get rid of toxins.

I think Sockeye salmon by law must be wild caught not farmed? They look dark red even at WFs. But yes, still could contain contaminets. I hae about 28lbs of turkey left I need to eat then I can purchase some grass fed ground beef.

I've also had a history of not chewing my food enough and eating to fast. It was not uncommon I would find whole pieces of food in my stool. I've now changed my habits and try to chew food to a liquid as much as possible. It's very hard go for me and requires deep concentration. I don't know why.

Mammoth, this is my last year of hockey. I'm under contract so have to play the remaining 2months of the season. I'm in NJ now, as soon as season is over I'll be returning to California where paleo living is much easier!  And I'll have the support if my family behind me. Out here in nj I am alone and have limited resources.

Thank you for sharing your story! It is very inspiring. Imdefinitely  going to get into yoga  asap.  I'm also very interested in movement culture.

I didn't understand the difference between Cooked and raw fats until I finished AVs book just two days ago. I thought even pasturized grass fed cheese/butter/sour cream would help digestion of my meals. Now I know even raw cheese is indigestible and used only to soak up toxins in te body. 

I'm going to add lots more raw fat to my diet now. Avocados, coconut come to mind. Maybe soaked raw Mac nuts? Grass fed beef is 11.99lb at local WF... I rarely can get. Salmon is 24.99.

Salt is absolutely essential as a preservative for HG cultures with no access to fridges/freezers. Salt for a RVAF diet is, imo, wholly unnecessary unless one has a peculiar salt-deficiency as  a result of a cooked diet. Even then, natural salts, such as found in raw wild game etc. are preferable.

Completely agree, cannot dispute that. I think the question was more towards concentrated forms of sodium, like adding Himilayan salt to drinking water to purify.

I am away from home(California) right now and really cannot afford 100% raw. I'll be back in about 2 months and my situation will change. I cannot wait, I'm homesick! I will immediately be going 100% raw.

For a long time I over stressed my body with pointless, and horribly damaging lifting techniques. From ages 16-18 It was common for me to spend 2-4 hours in the gym doing Bench press,curls, leg press ect... All with horrible form. It was extremely detremental to my postural integrity. I developed either posterior/anterior pelvic tilt. Idk which yet. My entire chain of back muscles is extremely weak. Core is weak and disfigured. Overdeveloped chest and leg muscles. Until 18/19 years old I was on a SAD diet(lots of pb&j, cereal, hotdog, burgers fries, pasta, milk everything cheap and low quality...)Last year my imbalances became so painful I often wouldn't sleep more than 1-2 hours a night for weeks at a time due to Tention induced headaches(While trying to continue hockey/lifting. 1 year ago I broken ankle and it caused me to gain lots of weight. I went from 5'11 190 to almost 210. That's when I discovered the paleo diet and more movement oriented workouts.

Now I do mainly crossfit(for hockey), yoga, and movement training.My previous lifestyle has left my core in ruins. I struggle daily to improve it. All my muscles are extremely right and miss shapen. I still get tention induced headaches from my right neck/upper back. The feelin is similar to having a concussion.

I have been frantically searching the internet looking for what could cause my BM problem. I'm leaning toward Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. I'm hoping RPD, yoga, therapeutic massages will help me regain some structural integrity. Many of my muscles and bones are miss shaken from years of abuse. It's going to be a long journy to health for me. AV said it could take 40 years to correct incorrectly formed bones.

I still plan to experiment with raw dairy. Last summer I tried and felt great on it. Most noticeably it's effects on my libido. A huge increase. I understand it's an addictive food and not optimal for long term health. I believe if used properly(seasonally), it could speed healing.

Have you ever considered you are over exercising and not able to process foods because your body is in a constant state of anxiety and flight??  Have you considered that it may be a good idea to slow down on training to get your nervous system back into a less engaged state where you will be able to relax and heal?  If you are having pelvic floor dysfunction it's because you have a weakness in one of he most important systems, your deepest core in the body.  This could very basically be due to overtraining with improper strength.  If you continue to overtrain you will never be able to heal your pelvic floor enough to where you can rehabilitate it and balance out your strength.   I am sure the idea of not training causes you anxiety because you are so used to being in a state of exhaustion that you instead recognize it as alertness and also you are addicted to the endorphins.  I would ask you to visit MarksDailyApple.com and read what you can about overtraining and the stress it causes, that's the best source I can think of ATM. 

Pasturized dairy is a pretty poor sub for raw because of the denaturing of the enzyme lactase as well as the probiotics that help the body digest and assimilate the beneficial nutrients in the dairy and thatbare beneficial to healing the intestines.  Are you eating fermented dairy like yogurt?  Or just straight milk?

Dariorpf if the meat you are eating is certified organic then it will not be supplemented gmo corn, it may be supplemented organic corn, but anything certified organic contains no gmos if he farmers are upholding to those standards.

I don't think it's over training. I know I do have an extremely week inner core. Which is why I'm doing movement/functionality training. I was eating red hill goat kefir, sheep bri, lactose free grass fed sour cream, Kerry gold butter

AV claimed that salt leeched nutrients from our cells and kills them. Which rapidly speeds up the aging process. Thoughts anyone?

When you said you don't get an urge to go, and have to do crazy amounts of trying to pass only a small amount, have you considered that maybe it's because there isn't much to pass.

No, I eat way to much for this to be the cause. I work out(1-2hours) and play hockey(1-2hours) everyday. In my off time I do movement/mobility training as well. I eat 4-6 meals a day.

Pelvic floor dysfunction is the most likely candidate right now.

I'm hesitant to take phyllium husk/chia seeds because I don't know if I'll be able to expel them??? Maybe I'm being overly cautous/paranoid.
I've been reading Aajonus's book and think that pasterized dairy could be adding to the problem. He claims it's indigestible, I thought I could substitute it for raw dairy.

At the moment I cook my meats in a crock pot on low(212F) for 6hours. Would the broth left in slow cooker be beneficial for me?

Yeah I've stopped use of all cleanse/detox/laxatives, and even even my forces of nature magnesium supplement(I don't believe in taking supplements, long term use could cause problems).

The doctors said I was fine! Of course they still tried to prescribe me muralax....

I will research Rectocele! From what I read so far pelvic floor dysfunction is a possibility.

I'm not discounting high levels of stress/anxiety either! I even read high levels of emf radiation can cause constipation. I have to find the article again, but I believe it somehow blocks magnesium absorption in the intestinal track. Which in turn causes a lack of water, and drys out the stool. I am constantly on my phone an computer and connected to Wifi.

I've cleaned up my diet considerably. cooked paleo for now, cannot afford quality meat to eat raw until I return home for summer. Added lots of fermented foods. Sauerkraut, pickles, chutney, yogurt.

Update:

I no longer get the "urge" signaling I have to take a #2. I have to force it out using a series of deep breathing and air squat like movements. The process can last 10-45minites and only produce small amounts. I Havnt had a full, effortless BM in since dec 16th. I am worried I have damaged my colon/intestines from harsh laxatives such as Epsom salt/castor oil.
No idea what to do. Running out of ideas.
