Hello.
I’ve had gut issues and recurring candidiasis for about a decade. Initially found that the candida diet helped. But with each recurrence and strict limiting carbs, the results slowly but surely reduced. I’ve realized via the Ray Peat ideology that the reduction in results was because I was dinging my metabolism each time I did this.
The most recent bout, I restricted my diet down and it didn’t resolve which led me to run a carnivore diet. I ran it for 8 months
Then began researching the bioenergetic view which connected many dots and I slowly have reintroduced sugars, now able to consume quite a lot per day. I eat lots of citrus, blueberries, fruit juices, and some low antinutrient vegetables like carrots and radishes. And I eat almost exclusively 100% grass fed red meats. Mostly beef and bison. I make sure to get plenty of good saturated/monounsaturated fats.
However, I have noticed when I slow cook and eat foods like oxtail and short ribs, especially if I eat a lot, I will get itchy. Last night it happened and oh man. It kept me up all night and I’m even still a little itchy this am. I’m trying to figure out exactly what it is though. I tolerate all red meat super well typically. Its almost always when I slow cook and eat higher connective tissue/collagen foods. So I’m not sure if it’s the collagen or maybe histamine? Although, with the histamine thing, I almost never react this way unless I eat those high connective tissue foods slow cooked.
Any ideas? This one is stumping me.
