My question: is it detrimental/beneficial/insignificant if I add a dose of the cod oil to my post-WOD snack?

Thanks,
Mark

When determining carb amounts do you subtract fiber to arrive at net carb amount? Thanks, Tim

Thanks, I have a real mild case of IgA nephropathy, labs have been stable for the last 2 years (upper end of normal). I have persistant microscopic hematuria, no proteinuria (which is good). Just started a Paleo diet will adjust accordingly.

What are your thoughts about a Low-Antigen-Content diet for inflammatory kidney diseases versus a Paleo diet? It seems real restrictive, any food that can be considered an allergen is avoided, (eg: eggs, nuts, dairy, citrus fruits, berries, chocolate, shellfish, etc.) Not to be confused with a renal diet for people on dialysis.

Thanks,

Marc

1. Robb: I NEED THAT BOOK!

2. My life has never been “saved,” but this summer I took a nasty tackle from a drunken friend that severely damaged my knee. It’s been bothering me nonstop for months. For 1 week I did dedicated paleo/zone, and bam, the pain is significantly reduced. I think another few weeks of this great anti-inflammatory diet, and the pain should be gone entirely.

Robb, I’ve read some of your stuff on IF for severe immediate trauma. Have you found IF effective to help this more chronic stuff?

I used to have really bad heartburn. going gluten free then paleo definitley did the trick permanantly, but RAW apple cider vinegar cured my heartburn when I did/do eat grains.. I was foolish enough to let my doctor put me on Nexium about 5 years ago-stopped my reflux and totally jacked up my gut! Huge mistake! I was informed by someone at the local health food store that acid reflux is actually caused by not having enough stomach acid (or at least not having the right environement) to properly digest whats causing the problem. The exact cause I am unsure of, but what ever the cause, the result is your lower esophageal sphincter (LES) fails to do its job which is to close, and prevent stomach acid from coming back up your esophagus. It seems counter intuitive that something acidic would counter acid reflux- but it does. I assume the ACV helps correct any issues the LES experiences, but don’t really know (Robb?). but I do know the stuff works (I would also guess that it has something to do with ACV’s alkalinizing properties), and if you google natural remedies for heartburn/reflux you’ll probably get a better explanation and a whole bunch of folks who will swear by it much like I do. it also is good for digestion-full of prebiotics and good enzymes to feed the probiotics you might supplement. also good for inflammation in general, appetite control (i.e. on those low carb days), and balancing the body’s PH, and not to mention a big swig will certainly wake you up. Be sure to get a brand like Mrs Bragg’s that is RAW, UNFILTERED, AND UNPASTEURIZED. I would not drink on an empty stomach either as it may upset. Let me know if it works for you

I have a question about an unrelated problem and would like to know what you think? For the past 8-10 years, I have had recurring “acid” buildup to the point of extreme heartburn and when I exert myself (running, lifting, even brushing my teeth) I throw up. A couple years back, I saw a doctor who advised me to take a Prilosec every morning and “if that fixes it, you have nothing to worry about”. That does help, but last Saturday I was out of town for a tennis tournament and forgot to take the pill. The problem was there that morning again even though I had not missed that pill once in at least a year! This kind of got my attention about it again and I wondered what you would advise. I am eating maybe 70% paleo for the past 2-3 months but know I need to get more compliant. Should I be really concerned or would simply going 100% paleo maybe solve this problem?
Any thoughts?

Thanks for all you do.

John, very classy of you and The Paleo Brand, keep up the good work.

When you get the time, just wondering if you could clarify your stance on Cod Liver Oil. As you discussed very briefly in Toronto, Cordain was mentioning to you that the Vit A Blocks the Vit D. Doing some further readings myself I came across this from the WAPF.

http://www.westonaprice.org/basicnutrition/CLOUpdateDec2008.pdf They source several papers in there.

It seems that by taking the high vitamin Cod Liver Oil (better Vit A: Vit D ration) none of the antagonizing effects occur?

Thanks Robb!

Fructose is a bad idea except for long events or multiple events in a given day.

the shake sounds delicious but I’d be in a carb comma. I’d have stopped at the coconut water and whey.

In the Marine Corps we used to say, “The more we sweat in Peace, the less we bleed in War.” This was obviously relating to metcon conditioning, traing, etc but also that people that are fit generally recover from injuries and illness better.

Congrats Hans! Truly, AWESOME!

I am confused as to how sweet potatoes are such good pwo food (replenishing glycogen etc.) and also are good for controlling blood sugar levels (as they are often recommended as a starch for diabetics). this seems to be contradictory. Also, it is my understanding that fructose is not a good source of sugar for mucsle glycogen replenishing. if your liver only holds so much glycogen then won’t the excess be pushed to your muscles in time to take advantage of the pwo window of increased sensitivity? also, do sugars like dextrose and maltodextrin still replenish liver glycogen? the more I research the more I get conflicting information. I try to keep paleo as much as possible, which is most of the time, as I feel and perform much better when I do. The other day I combined coconut water/acai berry juice/50g of whey protein isolate (jay robb brand) to make a pwo shake, besides being delicious, I think It worked pretty damn well- i had just done the Kalsu as Rx. would like to stay away from sugars like dextrose and maltodextrin. if you would give me your thoughts on my concoction as well i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for all of the information you share every day!

Thanks for sharing,
Ido.

Btw, I heart robbwolf.com.

Best,

Jon

I’m starting to think maybe this ‘Paleo’ thing actually works…;-)

Keep ‘em coming Robb!

Is it normal though to feel dead tired after cutting grains out though? must be an insulin response…
