Can't eat very much
« on: November 19, 2010, 04:02:22 am »
I'm new here, just starting raw paleo, and just posted to the Welcoming Committee forum about my severe digestive issues.  The biggest problem is that I can't eat much at one time.  If eating raw, I can only eat about 2 oz. of raw meat or 3 egg yolks.  It seems to be like gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying), might even be that, except I don't have nausea or vomiting.  So I'm wondering how I'm going to get enough to eat.  It's clear that I don't need anywhere near as much as with cooked food.  I had some fruit (canteloupe) this mid-morning and it brought me down, so that might suggest that fruit during the day will be bad for me; eating it last night didn't seem to bother me.  I guess I can try multiple meat feedings, with fruit during the evening.  Anyone have any suggestions? 

Also, I'm considering doing the coconut oil detox.  Do you think it's too early for that?

Some people have issues with raw coconut oil, re allergies. I would suggest avoiding it and only experimenting with it once you have gotten better.

You might consider trying artificial means re (good) enzyme supplements or perhaps a little HCL or even high-meat as the latter contains vast amounts of extra bacteria which speed up digestion. For now lots of small meals sounds fine, as well.

Not coconut oil detox... this is for candida.

You must mean colon cleanse.

No, I did mean the coconut oil detox.  I'm pretty sure I have candida, and how could I not with all the sugar I have eaten.

Actually I think I'm going to have to ease into raw paleo with one raw meal a day for starters, two if I'm very lucky and can manage it.

Sometimes when I eat too slowly because I'm doing multiple things will eating I find I get full on a very small amount of meat. Consider eating faster so your satiety signals don't kick in until 20 minutes.

Look up appetite stimulants on google, and see if there are any natural foods(that fit in with your diet qualifications) that can stimulate the appetite.

    Molasses, although not paleo, has been used to raise appetite for centuries.  I find eating around other people who eat similar food to work much better for the appetite, it's raw and I think paleo too.

I don't eat slowly.  I finish 2 oz. of meat in much less than 20 minutes.

That's extremely slow. Unless by 'much less than 20 minutes' you mean 10 seconds.

I mean like less than 10 minutes.  Or 3 egg yolks in a minute or two.  But I don't think my problem has anything to do with my satiety getting triggered.  My digestion is just bad, on several levels.  My liver is obviously in bad shape, not producing enough bile, and my pancreas has problems, to name two.

Try exercise.

Exercise can stimulate your appetite and improve digestion


Though, for some exercise can decrease appetite, I think because it improves digestion maybe people get "more" out of the calories they do eat so they don't need to eat more
