AIP possibly causing health issues?

[thekimfamily4]

Hi all - I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this but here goes ....

I became ill suddenly 2.5 years ago and remained as such with no known cause and was recently diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. We are trying to figure out the cause still but in the meantime I have done what I can to support my body.

I have been on AIP for 6 weeks now with 100% compliance. I haven't seen a change in my symptoms (which I am not concerned about at this time). However - my hormones are going out of control. I have started getting massive amounts of horrible cystic acne around my jaw, chin, mouth. And I am having hot flashes and chills like crazy. My sleep has gotten worse as well.

There has been no change in anything else except AIP. Any insights to why this might be happening if related to AIP?

I don't have the energy or money to see yet another doctor to figure this out right now so I figured I would try here to get some help.

Thanks so much!

Rachel

It is possible that something you began eating when starting AIP is not agreeing with you. The skin is often the body's first sign that something isn't right. It could also be that you are sensitive to something that is AIP-compliant and, if you are eating more of that item now, you body may not be liking it. It is also possible that your body is detoxing and it will take some time to clear all the "junk" from your system.
