My Paleo experience started with a bang yesterday that involved some delicious meals that hit the spot and met the rules. Then without warning yesterday evening I got really unwell, with abdominal pain like I have never felt before, nausea and a fever. At first I thought I had just eaten too fast at dinner and that it would pass. But the nausea and stomach cramps worsened as the night drew on. It has continued all through today with chest pain (what I'm hoping is just bad heart burn) taking hold all afternoon.
It looks like either my body is really putting up a fight to my new eating or perhaps I have picked up a virus or a bug. What ever it is I wish it would stop!! At 24 hours of illness now and having eaten only an orange and a few pieces of melon today, I would quite like to get back to a functioning state. It sounds like from a few websites that it could be my body getting used to the high fat content in the diet, but I just can't keep this up if that is the case and if it lasts much longer - as those sites suggest it will.. I have a life to lead and if that means eating some pasta and going back to cereal for breakfast helps me feel better then I might just be pulling a plug soon! Right now I'm just waiting it out and seeing how I feel in the morning before I look into any options further..
With our third Wedding anniversary tomorrow I would love to enjoy the nice dinner out we have planned and not be stuck on the couch feeling miserable!
Fingers crossed!
