Think that's it. Still craving sweet stuff as can be seen.

Oh no! Unfortunately those treats have a tendency to get away on us. Perhaps you need to go cold turkey on the sweet stuff for a few weeks to break the cycle? I found it took about three weeks sugar-free to adjust my taste buds.

When I have cravings I make myself eat a paleo meal, and tell myself if the craving is still there afterwards I'll have a little of whatever-it-is. Usually the craving goes away though. And try to organise your life so you don't have to eat out! For a few weeks at least until the worst of the cravings are over. Eating out makes it too hard.

If you've got heartburn I'd suggest you need to cut the coffee. Coffee stimulates a lot of stomach acid.      Try drinking ginger tea instead - the ginger is warming on the stomach, or a tea made from dill seeds and chamomile is soothing. One of those should help. If you get caffeine withdrawal headaches, some weak white tea (I mean White Tea served black, not Black Tea with milk) might help you through the worst while giving your stomach a break. I find starchy foods the best for mopping up excess stomach acid - for paleo you could use some starchy veg. Otherwise you might need to dial back the egg white - egg white can be an irritant for some people. But try the coffee first - it's the more likely cause and not paleo and not even food, so a better thing to cut out. Also, you often have cream or milk with the coffee, right? Get rid of the coffee and you get rid of another problem too.

A Traditional Chinese Medicine remedy might help if those things aren't enough.

Yes I think it may be the coffee and if that doesn't work I'll try the egg whites.

And yes I may have to go to bare paleo for a bit and stop with the cakes, just me eating them, I have to still make them for the family.

Sorry to hear you've been unwell Selina. Hopefully the diarrhoea is from gastro and will just go away in a few days. Otherwise it may be a specific food that's upsetting you. You might need to do an elimination diet to find out what. I'm thinking if this just started after going paleo, maybe you have something like fructose malabsorption? Most irritating foods should have been eliminated, the things that will have increased are meat, fish, eggs, veges, fruit and nuts. Looking at each of those:
- Meat is very unlilely to cause allergies, although some people who are allergic to milk also find beef a problem.
- Fish allergies, and especially shellfish, are more common, but they don't usually cause gastro symptoms, so it's probably not fish.
- Egg white and nuts are more common allergens, wouldn't be too hard to cut out those for a few weeks to see if it helps.
- Veges and fruit, most likely is fructose malabsorption or maybe the FODMAP thing.  http://shepherdworks.com.au/disease-information/low-fodmap-diet

If the diarrhoea doesn't clear, you could try a few weeks of paleo, but eliminating beef, egg white, nuts and all the FODMAP fruits and veges. Then, assuming you're better, reintroduce them in that order at least four days apart. If you're not better in a couple of weeks it would probably be a good idea to see a gastroenterologist to eliminate the possibility of anything serious.

Breakfast either scrambled eggs or omelette with mushrooms, tomatoes, onion, bacon.
Morning tea snack is either a couple of boiled eggs or a banana.
Lunch is either leftovers from dinner or tuna, tomato and avocado. These are generally tinned ones in oil.
Dinner is fish or lamb or chicken with whatever veggies we have on hand. We make a couple of things regularly like coconut curry with either chicken or prawns...

Are you eating only when hungry or do you "eat to the clock?" If you are not hungry then you do not need to eat. Also, breakfast can be anything (paleo), it does not have to be eggs and bacon. You could have fish and coconut for breakfast. Eating the same thing every morning because it is seen as a "breakfast food" traps you into thinking that is what you have to eat, whereas you should be following your instincts more on what to eat. And even though eggs are considered paleo, they were more of a treat for paleo humans, like honey.

We eat quite a lot of strawberries and hubby loves his fruit. Mandarins and bananas.
I cheat once a day with a capuccino that the milk bar next door to work makes with Zymil milk for me.

I would avoid all dairy if you are dealing with any health issues, as it will interfere with trying to figure out the source of those problems. http://www.rawpaleodiet.com/articles/dairy-food-articles/ has information of why you should avoid dairy, which causes all sorts of health problems, especially with the harmful high levels of calcium, and addictive opioids.

The other things that are not really paleo but have eased cravings which are still happening...Choc Orange cake made with almond meal, cocoa powder and 1/3 cup honey. And I make cookies from almond meal, eggs, macadamia oil, nuts, coconut and a spoonful of honey. Makes a big batch for all of us to snack on.

Those things don't ease cravings, they maintain your current craving-level or addiction. If you want to ease or eliminate cravings you need to eliminate the offending foods and replace them with healing meat and fats. Honey is just white sugar with trace amounts of nutrients added, and not even a whole food (for that you would need to eat honey as it is in the hive, with pollen, wax, royal jelly, pollen and propolis). Your diet contains a large amount of nuts, which are inflammatory and hard on the digestive system.

Eating paleo does not mean eating any amount of foods that man had access to in paleolithic times. If that were the case, a diet of nothing but fruit would be a paleo diet. The paleo diet was mostly ruminant meat from wild game and small amounts of wild fruit and vegetables. Grass-fed beef and lamb are close modern substitutes for wild game. Like most people who are coming from a non-paleo diet, it sounds like you are still struggling with carb cravings. I am no exception and experienced the same. I recommend sticking to a diet of nothing but meat and vegetables, or only meat, if you are going to get your carb cravings under control. Eliminate the non-paleo foods (dairy, almond flour, etc.) as well as the foods that would have rarely been eaten (nuts and seeds, honey, etc.). Eliminate fruit until you have carb cravings under control. Then your body can make better use of the fats in the meat.

We had 2 breakouts so far..one was normal pizza and we had cheesecake and choc pudding and we were both sick. Last night was an 18th and we shared a slice of sponge cake. He ate the icing and cake, I ate the fresh cream and some sponge cake. Probably about 4 mouthfuls. No side effects from that.

You are feeding the craving, not easing it.

I guess thats about it, I know the zymil and coffee arent great but I dont seem to have any effects from it. I get more stomach problems if I have any cream. And I buy the purest I can find. My weight has stayed the same for ages now... 63kg and doesnt seem to change very much.

Still have cramps in the legs but Ive been taking magnesium. Thats flavoured and we cant get magnesium cream here that I read about somewhere else. It eases the cramps...
Any comments welcome....

Also, I see no mention of organ meats, which is where most/many of your micronutrients should come from. Liver is high in Vitamin A, Copper and Riboflavin. Heart has CoQ10 (see:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coq10#Heart_health). Kidney contains Selenium and many other vitamins in large amounts. Both Spleen, Kidney and Brain contain significant Vitamin C when eaten raw. By eating fat such as bone marrow and suet or tallow, and cutting out nuts and seeds, you will be getting more healing fats, and more omega-3 fatty acids.
