A lot of my problems with this diet were solved by switching from potatoes to white bread. I know it's not optimal, but if you can't get enough calories from fruit and milk, starch consumption is more or less required. When I read your list of foods, potatoes stand out to me as a likely source of the abdominal discomfort. Wheat has been widely cultivated for thousands of years, while by comparison, potatoes were only known to select cultures before the Columbian Exchange. I suspect, due to epigenetics, wheat is more suitable than potatoes for the majority of European and Asian populations.
1) Eat fruit and dairy. Avoid PUFA and starch.
2) Biotin; niacinamide; thiamine, and caffeine. Possibly magnesium and pregnenolone.
Wheat is how most of us are here today since our ancestors relied heavily on it to survive. To stop eating it all of a sudden seems silly. I too found bread easier on digestion and more satisfying than rice and potatoes. Quality does matter however, I stick with sprouted or traditional sourdough.
True. Context. Ray talks a bit about the protective effects of insulin IIRC, but not in excess of course.just casually searching through old posts... wanted to mention my blood sugar skyrocketed drinking milk.. dairy could be a huge, massive no no for insulin resistance
Biotin?1) Eat fruit and dairy. Avoid PUFA and starch.
2) Biotin; niacinamide; thiamine, and caffeine. Possibly magnesium and pregnenolone.
Anyone has any idea?1) Massive discomfort or pain on my lower right abdomen, especially when sitting down for a while. It's irrelevant whether I'm stressed out or not, then pain always show up. When I stand up, though, the pain kinda disappears.

I can only think about that this place is where the small gut connects to the colon, and that you might have some air or anything putting some pressure.
You can locate this part as being just below the gall bladder, and sometimes the 2 pains can be misinterpreted.
I would check the speed of transit...
It becomes more and more apparent to me that my hypothyroid issues don't come from the thyroid, but more from liver / pancreas aka. insulin resistance. I've been experiencing these since I started Peating 10 months ago:
1) Massive discomfort or pain on my lower right abdomen, especially when sitting down for a while. It's irrelevant whether I'm stressed out or not, then pain always show up. When I stand up, though, the pain kinda disappears.
2) Much lower tolerance to alcohol and experiencing massive hypoglycemia whenever I consume alcohol on weekends regardless on the amount.
3) Super accelerated hair thinning / loss. My prolactin is fairly low/normal 7.9 ng/mL so it must be due to high Cortisol. Haidut said that high cortisol can be caused by insulin resistance.
None of those issues happened when I low carbed for few years, only when I started Peating those issues showed up.
I understand that there are supplements / ways to reduce excess adrenaline or cortisol like Cascara, relora, theanine, vitamin A, B6, zinc, DHEA etc. But those are only quick fixes/patches to reduce the symptoms, while the core problem stay unfixed. The insulin resistance is still there, the liver is f**ked, the pancreas might be f**ed. Obviously the food has to go through liver and pancreas before going to thyroid, so it's important to fix those 2 things first before seeing the benefits to thyroid functions.
So the question is: how do you cure insulin resistance, Ray Peat-way? How do you heal the liver and pancreas so that they function normally just the ways they're supposed to?
1) What food to eat and avoid?
2) What supplements to take to help fixing these issues? Not the quick fixes one that only treat the symptoms (high cortisol and adrenaline), but the ones that really go after the liver/insulin resistance causes and fix them straight up.
BTW I'm already on very high-carb/low-fat diet. Tomorrow marks my 2nd month of the diet and will continue for at least 4 more months.
He moved on from here and I'm pretty sure he had no success with the "Peat diet" or high sucrose/fructose intake, he posted updates on the raypeatforums. org . He improved his health by following more of tyw's ideas from what I remember.I know this post was a while ago, but at last I think ifound someone with same symptoms. My worst is the about too pass out symptom, been peatin for 5 months.. Have u got an update?
