Seems like the moringa might be working already.  Will give an update tomorrow.

Hi there, having problems breastfeeding my 5 week old infant.  My milk supply is insufficient.  Only producing about half of what he needs.  Took him to a lactation consultant the other day, after observing that he lost a third of a lb.  He is still 3 lb above his birth weight (11lbs)  She weighed him before and after i breastfed him, he only took in 55ml.  He spits up plenty.  I have cut out dairy, but what really helped is when i went on the dr sears elimination diet for a few days.  Ate McDonald’s yesterday and his spitting up came back very good.  I suspect that he is reacting to dairy and gluten proteins making their way into my breast milk.  The dr Sears feels too restrictive.  I picked up some raw grassfed steak and pork chops. My intent is to go back to a partially raw keto diet that excludes dairy and gluten.  Any suggestions for boosting my milk supply?  I am supplenting him with a hypoallergenic formula by similac.  I would like to breastfeed exclusively.  I would like him to stop spitting up so much.

Ever since I got my results I have been being careful to exclude foods I am intolerant to as per my hemocode results. The one exception is sugar.  I had been using dextrose in my tea and on my lemons, but I stopped using dextrose a couple days ago. I have made some effort to also rotate my foods although some foods I have not rotated such as avocado and almonds. I continue to eat these everyday.  I fell off the wagon with the raw temporarily for about two weeks in an effort to follow my hemocode recommendations more closely, but I have been practically 100% raw again for the last few days.  The most notable improvement has been my acne.  I just finished my period, and normally I would have had at least two inflamed pimples, but this did not happen.  My face has been consistently clear. 
Secondly, I am not sure, but I feel smarter.  Like my memory has improved.  I just started a new job, and I feel like all the new lineups and equipment numbers are sticking in my head better than in the past.
I am having occasional bouts of brain fog and dull vision, but now I am able to explain these.
For example last Saturday morning, I had a bout of brain fog, and I narrowed it down to either chia seeds (this food is not one of the 250 foods on the hemocode panel) or my feramax Iron supplement.  The feramax contains pork and beef gelatin in it's capsule.

Earlier this week I developed pain in my esophagus.  It developed suddenly after I came home from work.  I had pain while swallowing and also increased pain as my stomach filled.  I thought it may have been an issue of inflammation.   I tried adding raw flax seeds and raw turmeric to my diet to combat the suspected inflammation.  I also stopped using dextrose.  I took my alkaline salts more regularly and asked my boyfriend for massages.  I tried being careful not to overeat.  My efforts seemed to be helping at first, but then the pain seemed not to be going away.

I went to the doctor yesterday, and she said that it was likely a hiatal hernia.  I am pretty sure she is right.  I read on the internet that a hiatal hernia can be massaged down.  Another solution is to drink a big glass of water first thing in the morning.  Then you stand on your tippy toes, and fall hard on your heels several times.  While doing this, you put your elbows out to open up your diaphragm. This allows your stomach to come back down to its proper position.  (There is a detailed how to on youtube)  I did this and it seems to have helped alot.  No more pain when swallowing.

I am taking my boyfriend in for hemocode testing today as well.  He has acne, and also raynaud's syndrome in one of his fingers.  I think he may also have some food intolerances.  He eats as raw as I do, except he drinks coffee from Tim Horton's everyday with cream and sugar in it. 

Today, I felt faint upon waking and decided to try to take my feramax again and see if I react to it.  The manufactures say that the capsule can be removed and the contents poured into food, but I am sure if I do this I will end up with badly stained teeth in to time.

Because I was unable to digest the raw, soaked flax seeds I have been eating, today I ground the flax seeds, and added water to them.  I let them sit until they gelled up a bit, put a little salt on, and at them as a porridge.  I had an instant mouth and ear canal itching reaction to them, definitely IGE reaction.  Got brain fog and lethargy shortly thereafter (just starting to pass now). This makes me think it was probably the raw chia seeds and not the feramax that gave me the brain fog last Saturday morning, just because the two seeds have some similarities.

I have found a local place to buy raw grass fed lamb shanks, fresh.  I have not eaten any raw rabbit yet.  The rabbits I got are too cute.  I may focus on breeding them and eating their offspring.  My boyfriend and I are really enjoying having the rabbits as pets.  On a side note, they kind of litter trained themselves a few days ago.

I have added a bit of sea weed to my diet.

I am having issues with raw plant food coming out undigested in my stool.  Avocado and flax seed mostly.  I am going to look into Jessica's suggestion of trying some plant foods cooked.  Avocado is out of the question, since it is high in fat.  I do not seem to have issues digesting grassy and leafy vegetables.

I wonder why I am intolerant and allergic to so many foods.  I plan to do some research on this.  I may try some of the raw foods I am allergic to in cooked form.  Like cooked butternut squash or flax seeds.

I am going to go to a chiropractor and physiotherapist tomorrow about my hiatal hernia (the health plan at my new job is unbelievable)

GS, you are probably looking for answers from males, but allow me to share my observations as a woman in Alberta:

"Real women" from a man's point of view is a woman with a BMI around 20 or less who has long hair and is feminine. For some guy the woman also should be under 25.  So basically a slim woman with good hair, under 25 has her pick of men (at the bar, at work, guys she meets while doing errands).  If she has perky breasts she is even better off.  She loses a lot points for being a drug addict.    This type of woman is not the norm out here.  Most women are not that slim, or feminine (don't like to wear dresses, big feet, can't wear dainty shoes ect.)

Most of these  most favorable women are in a relationship, having sex with only one male at a time. 

Some of these women have boyfriends, but cheat on them.  These women will be very careful about who they have sex with because men will always brag about having had sex with them and they do not want a bad reputation.

Some of these women are single, and will limit the amount of men the have sex with so that they do not get a bad reputation.

The remaining "real women" who have sex with a lot of men  without much consideration, are likely labelled as "sluts" and lose their title of "real woman" anyway.  But apparently these women are not sharing themselves around enough.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

There are many single women who have qualities that would cause men to look elsewhere:

-overweight.  (This is a big one out here.  A slim body is more rare than a pretty face, and drillbits (bad face, good body) often do way better than they should)
-short, ugly hair.
-smell bad.
-health problems: diabetes, hysterectomy,
-old

Many of these women would be willing to put out, but aren't willing to make the effort to attract a man.  Probably low energy and low self esteem.  They are also generally wanting someone more attractive than is readily available to them.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
These qualities will make men less attractive to women:


Bad Appearance:  Bald, short, fat, big moles on the face. Obvious health problems. Obvious deformities.
Poor Hygiene: Stinks, no cologne, looks greasy, has unkempt facial hair.
Ignorance: Is blatantly sexist or racist.  Loud, obnoxious, embarrassing to be around.  Makes gross jokes.  Sounds like an idiot.
No Income:  Some girls don't care if he is otherwise attractive.
Incompetent:  Someone who is bad at their job, doesn't know how to fix cars or do anything for that matter.

If a man has many of these qualities, he will not be able to find a "real woman".  Strippers will shudder when he sits in the front row.  Escorts may not even open the door for him when they look through the peep hole. He will have to pay for sex (probably he will pay more than an attractive guy, and get a lesser service), settle for a very unattractive woman or target a vulnerable woman (ie someone poor, stupid, drug addict).  These types of men will definitely buy wives from overseas, or go do sex tourism. Albertan women would rather never get laid again than have sex with these guys.

I have no idea what percentage of Albertan men fall into this "extremely unattractive" category.  Maybe 5%?  Alberta has a lot of very attractive men.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In summary,
Very attractive males and females have little problem getting laid.  These people only have issues if they are working too much to meet anyone, or are too shy to ask, or some other logistical problem.

Average men and women can get laid, but sometimes their standards are too high, and they don't have the confidence to "put themselves out there"

Unattractive women usually give up.  Unattractive men pay, or go overseas.

There are some men who inexplicably do sex tourism or by wives, despite being attractive enough to attract a variety of Albertan females.  It makes me think they are seeking a more traditional woman to fill the role of a wife and mother.

For the most part though, men who seek sex outside Canada are men that I would not ever contemplate having sex with.

Besides, I find it somewhat unpatriotic to do so.

The book that came with my hemocode results offers the following explanation as to why I could be intolerant to milk and cheese but not yogurt. 

"  All milk products are not equal.  The intolerance is primarily caused by cow's milk proteins.  Yogurt and cheese are produced via milk fermentation or souring.  These processes change the milk proteins so that antigen structures can be destroyed and new ones can appear."

Now I just have to research what antigens are, in relation to proteins.

It seems to good to be true but switching to yogurt should be a whole lot better for me than continuing to drink milk.  Apparently most people who have fructose malabsorption (which I continue to believe I have) also have issues with lactose.  I am going to whip up a batch of yogurt shortly.  i got a new probiotic yogurt starter.  I think it has more strains of bacteria than the original.

I am down to 148 lbs!! Hurray!!! 8lbs away from the goal I originally set for myself.

Going to pick up a cage, and my first rabbits tomorrow.  I will need to watch videos on how to slaughter and butcher them.  A guy at my work used to be a butcher, I may have him come over and help me with my first one.  This is all the more important to me now that I know I am intolerant to beef.  I am running low on food options.

The last couple days my nipples have been more erect in general, which is a good thing for me.  I have been drinking a lot of water and my blood pressure has gone back down to what is normal for me.  Kidneys stopped hurting last night after I ate a couple pieces of red snapper.

Woke up an hour after falling asleep to go throw up, only a bit of the food I ate.  I don't know if it's the inclined bed or what.

I have a renewed respect for dr.  Robert Young.  Pretty much all the foods I am intolerant to are foods he does not allow on his diet. 

 I am seeing good results from being fructose free.  Starting to feel like myself again.  Not as hungry.  Skin seems like it might be improving.  Feeling sensations I have not felt in a long time like throbbing lips, vague headache, and vague skin burning.  Heart and muscles feel stronger.  Not feeling like fainting when i stand up.  Hope this continues.

K, i think I have fructose malabsorption.  Thats whats making sense to me now.  I was having gas issues tonight, potentially from some dried gogi berries I ate the other day.  I took a pinch of table sugar, because I read it can help the body absorb fructose, and I felt totally awesome. Went to the gym, did cardio on top of the weights, which i havent been doing lately.  Felt genuinely happy, vision seemed sharper.  Then i went home and shared a butternut squash with my boyfriend.  Noticed an immediate mild allergic reaction.  Then i was throwing up and having diareah for the last couple hours.  I am having a warm tea with a bit of lemon, and table sugar to settle my stomach.  I have to be at work in three hours, but if im too exhausted when i wake up, ill call in and explain, and say i need a couple more hours sleep before coming in.  I really enjoy my coworkers.  Anyway, im starting an elimination diet to test for fructose malabsorption as of 6 hours ago, i may have to temporarily reintroduce cooked foods, but i will try to avoid it. 

I used a horse dewormer containing pyrental pamoate.

I eat about a pound of raw ground beef everyday.  Most other foods I eat are relatively high in iron as well, like almonds and vegetables.  Obviously it isn't enough.  I came up with an idea to start eating rabbits.  I'm going to clear out the spare room in my trailer to build large pens for rabbits.  I will go pick some up weekly from a farm, and then every second day i will slaughter one and hang it in my fridge.  This will be good because rabbit meat is easier to digest than ground beef, I will have a steady intake of organ meat, and I will have more control of the animal's diet, especially compared to grocery store ground beef.  Also since rabbits are small, I won't have to eat meat that has been frozen, which I just don't do.

I went for the hemocode test at Rexall yesterday.  My blood will be tested for igg intolerance to 250 different foods, addititives, and things like tobacco leaf.  I'm interested to see if cutting out any of these foods will give me more energy.

Also, today, I am going to go to an animal feed store to pick up some Pyrantel Pamoate.  I am going to give myself a deworming.  Why?  Because I still have fatigue, gas and bloating.  If I already have worms, then they are not helping, and if I don't then, not much harm done,  this drug is not readily absorbed by the intestine.  I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Ive been taking strong epsom salt baths and mixing a little magnesium chloride salt in with my raw milk.  I felt an increase in my testosterone shortly after.  I have been more agressive with coworkers, with mixed results.  I also improved noticeably on my weight lifting.  It is possible that i was slightly magnesium defficient since i gave up chocolate for religious reasons when I was thirteen and didnt eat it again until i was 28, and gave it up again in April because of its caffeine content.  I feel like i am better at sleeping in, i am salivating more normally, i have had pleghm coming up regularly, and my lungs feel stronger.


About 4 days ago, i woke up feeling like crap, i discovered i had started my period.  I found that i was depressed lethargic, and unbelievably grouchy.  I napped for 4 hours during the day despite having slept well and i did not make it to gym even though i slept the whole night and had the day off work.  Also, i had terrible gas even though i hadnt much changed my eating.  Since i have read that PMS may be caused by low serotonin levels, i tried 5htp, but found no noticeable relief.  Then i was thinking to myself that the symptoms started during my period, maybe it was iron , afterall i hadnt bothered to take iron since about 7 months ago.   So i went out and got a box of feramax 150.  I felt relief from my irratibility within an hour, and my gas levels were back to normal the next day.   So excess flatulence can be caused by low iron levels?

Cant that just be treated with antibiotics?

I'm down to 153 lbs.  my consumption of raw meat has increased and I am now eating sashimi 3 times a week with my boyfriend.  Tuna only.  I finally was able to convince Danny that despite fukoshima it is in our best interest to eat at least some raw fish.  Thanks to eating mostly whole foods I have been able to determine that I am intolerant to egg whites.  I can tolerate egg yolks, but I am taking a break from eggs altogether for an undetermined amount of time.  I have also found that the raw milk gives me gas and bloating  and for my purposes I am considering myself intolerant to anything that gives me an embarrasing amount of gas.  I do not want to give up raw dairy altogether, so i am only eating it after it has been turned into yogurt for the time being. ( I am hoping i have an issue with lactose and not casein).  I am going to expirement with different amounts of warming time on the yogurt as I belive the longer it develops the lower the lactose.  Yesterday after combining three cups of yogurt with lots of honey and refined table salt, i had numbness in my throat and a stomach ache.  At first I thought it might have been the casein in the yogurt, but then I remembered i have been having somewhat severe reactions to my raspberry bushes which are covered in pollen.  The whites of my eyes swells around the iris.  So probably i am allergic to honey.  Im going to stop eating that also for an undetermined amount of time.  I am no longer using grapefruit or 5 htp everyday, as I am more often feeling fine without.  My brain fog has cleared up considerably since last year.
