I went through a food inventory a while back after having all kinds of problems which I won't list in entirety here but waking up with night sweats and painful cramps were a couple along with getting up to pee 3 or 4 times a night and a few others that were downright scary.

I cut out pretty much all processed foods for a while then stopped eating wheat, seafood, dairy and beef entirely. Talk about a limited diet. Long story short, everything is back except dairy in any form. No butter, cheese, whey, milk, yada yada ... not a single thing that lists any milk based ingredient or may have been made where dairy might contaminate it. It's not a lactose intolerance it's more like a genuine dairy allergy.

Cramps are gone, sweats are gone, don't get up to pee at all. Still don't sleep much but that's always been a problem so maybe I'll try the magnesium glycinate.

Point being, different people have different triggers.
Thanks... night sweats and peeing = very little rest. your info helps. Thanks again!

Absolutely. You have to experiment and add in one thing at a time, gauge your reaction and keep a log.

Edited to add
For anyone who has bad inflammation, poor energy, poor sleep, pain…

Start with a carnivore cleanse. No dairy no grain no veggies no fruit no seeds.

Concentrate on beef and other multi-stomach animal proteins. Pigs or chickens do not break down polyunsaturated fats in corn and other stuff they are fed but ruminants do. Water or tea (coffee is controversial so at first avoid it) and good Baja or Celtic salt.

After 30 days you will feel better, probably really good. Now add in some fruit. You will feel incredible with some natural sugars and antioxidants. You could stop there, with some supplements and be great….but if you have to then add some controversial stuff with enough time and keep a log. It’ll take months to figure it out for yourself.
I appoligize for being late to the conversation, but these are all good points.
But I want to add, ...I know a woman who is gluten intolerant. I really thought this was a ploy to make her feel special. However I ran into her a couple mounts later, and (you know where the conversation went), she told me she now orders European flour through Amazon and now enjoys (homebaked) cookies, biscuits, and such. After a little research, I'm pretty sure the problem is the chemicals that are sprayed on the wheat that is grown here. Carry that over to all the foods we buy at Safeway...Albertsons... etc.
I'm not trying to sound like a prepper, but wild game has been a main stay in my (and my kids) diet for a long time.

'just sayin...

Glyphosate is suspected as a real problem but any bread or product that is made with “enriched” flour or which has added folic acid should be avoided like the plague. Most breads have a list of ingredients that rivals Dr Pepper.

Aldi sells a sourdough that has like 3 ingredients and I tolerate it fine but regular bread makes my joints into swollen pain centers.

Wheat was modified/crossed with grasses a few decades ago to increase yields and then (surprise!) people started having gluten troubles. Heirloom wheat flour is available.

Glyphosate and other chemicals ruin the gut biome and pretty much the entire body is dependent on a healthy gut.

As a guy who owns a large regional wholesale bakery, pump the brakes on some of your claims. Wheat is one of the last remaining crops to remain non GMO.

Just keep in mind it could be almost anything. I went to several doctors who couldn't find anything wrong.

For me it was dairy but like has been said before it took me almost 2 years to figure it out.

Good luck.

This is the underlying truth about food in North America. It is essentially low key poison for many of us. Probably driven mostly by profit margin goals from food corps. Not only the chemicals, but GMO work, driven again by profit margin goals.

You ran into her a couple MOUNTS later?

How often do you mount her?
Is it worth the effort?
Do you have to stay over or does she come to you?

AFAF

My claims about wheat are that is was crossed with grasses and is sprayed with Glyphosate. I don’t think anyone says this isn’t so.

Flour is “enriched” with folic acid, has many other things added to it. Ingredient labels plainly show it.

Approximately 1/2 or more of the population has a gene mutation (MTHFR) that prevents folic acid from being converted to folate in the body. It causes lots of troubles.
 
According to the map, there be dillas in my AO but I haven’t seen em.

They can carry plague and leprosy I believe 😳
Been around here in the WNC for the past five years or so.
Bro do you take Magnesium Glyconate? If not please try it. I used to suffer from insomnia plus I had cramps at night and brain fog especially after I had covid.

MG changed my freaking life. Take one in the morning and 2 before bed and sleep like a stone.

*edited to add, don’t take Mag Citrate like this or you will be pooping all the night long and sleep will elude you 💩
I take oxygenate, which was life changing for digestive issues my whole life. Apparently most people can't take it for the reasons you mentioned. And I take a different one that the wife gives me in the AM, not sure which one though.

Flour is definitely enriched. As well as malted, bleached and used to be Bromated. (Bromate now a no no) The FDA requires that we publish any and all ingredients listed which is why the legend no longer says flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, fat etc. I will agree that while non GMO, it has definitely been altered from heritage wheats.

As to your gene mutation comment, I have no clue. I make and bake a lot of bread for a living.

No seeds, no vegetable oil. I do occasionally eat peanut butter (does that count)? Fussed atvtge wife for not getting extra virgin olive oil. Nowvthat I think, maybe my back hurts from sleeping on the sofa.

Gonna have to do a food inventory.
Peanut butter is a tricky one.
Whole Foods use to have fresh peanut butter. A giant coffee type grinder - peanuts on top and peanut butter came out below the grinder.

Peanuts are a legume



Processed peanut butter is just sausage. Need to read the label.


Jif has fully hydrogenated vegetable oils (rapeseed and soybean), mono and diglycerides.




Salt is another strange item.
We have a world full of micro plastics.

Pakistani salt- branded as Himalayan sea salt is prehistoric and pre plastic.

All sea salt has microscopic bits of plastic.


So you have a trade off of the minerals aka impurity of the orange Himalayan salt - some is nasty so they make lamps out of it as it's too toxic to eat vs sea salt


I opt for any mined salt and not salt made from evaporated salt water.


Can pregnant people eat the fish from the San Francisco Bay or are the fish too toxic?


But we consume salt concentrated from the same water

When I was a young farmboy in the 50's and 60's the wheat variety most raised (at least on our dirt) was Waldron, a heritage wheat. I can remember Dad and Gramps hauling a truckload into the elevator for cleaning every spring for that years seeding. Some years if the harvest was a plumb, heavy crop a load was stored in the wood built seed granary. That bin was closely watched throughout the winter to insure it maintained condition for spring seeding.
Waldron was famous for long straw and heads. Very prone to wind and lodging. During harvest Gramps would pull the JD 65 combine picking up huge 18' swaths. Dad drove the trucks and I dumped in the 6" auger. A bumper was 35 bushels, less than 5% dockage was cause for celebration.
Cancer was extremely rare and very very few people were obese. Families were large, nobody had a lot of money, the churches were overflowing. On a clear night one could bounce in a Chicago AM blues station or listen to Joe Pyne.
Good times, better memories.
