Paleo diet?

Question

I've been having SOOOO many problems since early September; dizziness, nausea, tingling in my stomach, feeling like food is stuck in my throat or not digesting, shakiness, weird cramping, and fatigue. I've just been all around not feeling myself, and I did have protected sex with my bf (also a sidenote I am NOT pregnant), and I have had a HIGH HIGH amount of stress since then (plus I'm already and high stressed person as is so that didn't help). I went to the doctor and she automatically prescribed pills for anti acids so I thought maybe I have GERD but I was thinking of trying to Paleo diet Bc I hear it cleanses your body! I've been feeling worse these pass couple days (more dizzy and very fatigued) so I'm just curious about what to do? Or should i see other kinds of doctors?

Answer

I'm not saying this to be rude, but it may be psychological...or at least related to your stress levels if you like the sound of that better. I had all sorts of ailments when I was in grad school, it was mostly from stress. Therapy can help. For me, I eventually removed the high stress from my life (which may be a feasible solution for you, or not).

No diets are magic, but eating healthy is certainly a good idea... whatever healthy means, is up to interpretation though. I do think paleo sounds fairly healthy (especially if you get enough fruits and veggies), but again... it's not magic, and if it's too hard for you to stick with, it won't be a good choice. Pick some form of healthy eating that fits your lifestyle, and stick with it. That will be what's most important.

Answer

I definitely second seeing if it's psychiatric. Stress can wreak havoc on your body. As far as paleo cleansing your body- eating a balanced diet low in processed sugars and carbs and high in vegetables and lean protein will help keep your blood sugar steady which helps you deal with stress. Detoxing is a load of crap imo. Your liver already detoxes your body.

Maybe you have celiac or Crones? What kind of tests did you Doctor do? Doesn't sound like these ant-acids are helping.
