Terrible Diarrhea on Day 29

[JPhoenix]

Today is Day 35 and this is my first post.

 

I had no negative side effects UNTIL day 29. I had terrible diarrhea (water really) all day on day 29. For the last 6 days, I've had diarrhea every day and today it's really bad again (water).

   

I've had Hashimoto's for 6 years and read that eggs and nightshade vegetables could cause sensitivities for me and may need to be eliminated after completing my Whole30. I suspect eggs to be the culprit, so I plan to eliminate them starting now. Should I go ahead and eliminate eggs and nightshade vegetables all at once and then reintroduce them one at a time? Or should I start by eliminating eggs only and if the problem continues, start eliminating nightshade vegetables one at a time?

You could start with eggs, and if that helps, great -- see how you go with just no eggs for a while.

 

If I suspected I needed to eliminate nightshades, I'd probably eliminate them all at once until I felt better, and then re-introduce them one at a time. If they are an issue for you, you'll get relief faster that way than just slowly eliminating them.

Thank you for your suggestion Shannon.

You might want to consult your doctor, just to make sure there isn't a bug or food-borne illness contributing.  Six days and a sudden onset doesn't seem like a standard food sensitivity reaction.

 

ThyPeace, though yes, there are many people who have had that kind of reaction to foods.  Still, it doesn't hurt to check out other possibilities.
