Update

1. Removing all coconut products eliminated my chest pain. Maybe I have a daily threshold?

2. I still wake up to urinate at night and have headaches but slowly improving after eliminating the foods below.

3. I removed avocado, grapes, banana, grapefruit and now all fruits. I need to test what fruits is causing symptoms and at what quantity?

4. Noticed grapefruit causes itchy skin depending on dosage. So removed it.

5. Noticed grapes or avocado increases headaches on dosage. Removed them.

Waking up at night to urinate

Since the 12-14th, I wake up at night to pee and it disturbs my sleep. I'm having headaches since the 22nd.


What causes this new frequent urge to urinate? Could my diet change from low to high carb be a factor?

Coconut milk causing headaches and chest pain?

I had chest pain and headache yesterday and this morning. Only thing different I can think of was more coconut milk and oil.

4 day rotation still planning

I'm struggling coming up with my list since I had an intolerance flare up and felt extremely fatigue for a few days. I suspect potatoes or high sulfur threshold but unsure. I removed them and feeling better.

Problem 1: I rarely eat just one type of veggie in one meal but mix at least 2 or 3 like zucchini and carrots. So I find it hard to come up with a 4 day plan with such limitations.

Problem 2. How much protein and nutrients am I having enough?

Problem 3: I still haven't eaten pumpkin or sunflower seeds since elimination but haven't had support or a plan to reintroduce them.

Goal: 9 different meals for 3 days

9 different fruits, stratches, vegetable, meats/alternatives, and fat.

Looking for multivitamins

Here are options I found:

http://www.thorne.com/Products/Multiples/All_Multis/prd~PK105.jsp;jsessionid=xp1wSXSTFwp5cp8LN2Wy2nWVVMKvzJjtT241nGR66rkBZGcjTTvw!-1484249072

Concerns:
I don't do well with ascorbic C, except the current vit C brand I have.
Vitamin A seems high, I'm already taking cod liver oil.

Concerns:
Not enough info on the form of some vitamins (eg: it just says Vit B12... is it methyl form?)
