EmilyB456 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I am on Day 27 of my 2nd Whole30. I just noticed that several of my fingernails have tiny, pin-sized pits in them. I've read some places that this can be caused my some kind of nutritional deficiency, but I just can't imagine that's the case. Does anybody have any ideas for causes/remedies? Just for reference, a typical day of food for me looks like: Meal1--2 eggs, The Clothes Make The Girl Golden Cauliflower soup, 2 brazil nuts, herbal tea Meal 2--Today, will be a bowl of Halupki Casserole (grass-fed ground beef, cauli rice, shredded cabbage, tomato sauce, spices) and maybe a small bowl of berries Meal 3--grilled salmon filet, sauteed kale, roasted asparagus, and 1/2 sweet potato w/macadamia nuts and dried cranberries (thank you, Tom!) I drink a bottle of kombucha daily, occasional LaCroix water, and lots of regular water. I also take digestive enzymes but no other supplements. Thank you in advance!

Robin Strathdee Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 EmilyB - I do believe that I've read something about nail issues being related to nutrition, but it's my understanding that there's a time lapse between the poor nutrition and the nail dysfunction as it takes time for the nails themselves to grow and develop.

MrsStick Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I had a few little pits that I've just now noticed, so I guess it can't be that uncommon. I was freaking out yesterday because I also had a bit of a rash (the two can be linked with psoriasis) but the rash went away so I guess not! No rash by tonight when I showered post-WO.
