I really did not feel bad at all when I ate dairy, so I kept eating it. Actually I was kind of addicted to gruyere cheese. But I feel confused that I have not seen any health improvement after 3 months on strict high-quality RP diet (raw dairy is at least allowed in Primal diet). So I think maybe dairy is the offender...After all eating dairy is controversial in the RP diet community. I guess the way to find out is to cut out dairy for a couple of months...
I am a newbie to RP myself, so we can draw from each other experiences, Joy.
Maybe your addiction to cheese was a way to compensate for harsh transition to RP. I am transitioning for around year now and feel improvements all along the way.
I feel great on fermented dairy, actually it is a lifesaver as I still eat cooked foods, but I'm going to reduce amount gradually. Fresh milk however is a total killer for me.
Another reason for no visible improvments might be that body needs time do detox, might take a while.
It would be helpful if you elaborated a bit more, in addition to doc questions:
1. What improvements did you expect from the diet?
2. Do you feel worse on it or there is no change at all?
3. How rapid was your transition?
4. What was your diet before transition?
