About RawPalaeoGuy
Expertise
I can answer most questions on Raw Animal Food Diets such as the Primal Diet, an organic, raw-meat-based diet and a number of similiar all-raw or partially raw Paleolithic diets, such as the Instincto, Weston-Price, Neanderthin, Paleo and Stefansson Diets. Can also offer advice on how to resist social pressure to eat cooked foods etc. For further info on Raw-Animal-Food diets, feel free to browse through this website:- http://www.rawpaleodiet.com/

Experience
I have been 8 years on a 99%+ raw version of the Palaeolithic Diet and experienced numerous health benefits as a result, being fully recovered from my previous symptoms from my cooked-food days. My own individualised raw, paleolithic diet routine is mostly based on Aajonus Vonderplanitz's Primal Diet(ie 99% raw, usage of "high-meat",no processed supplements, using primarily naturally-reared, organic or wild sources of raw foods) but, for personal reasons, I have also been, to some extent, influenced by ideas from:- Instincto(ie:- taste/instinct,no raw dairy/no raw veggie juice), Weston-Price(eg: preferring grassfed meat to grainfed meat, incorporating a wide variety of raw organ-meats into my diet along with the usual muscle-meats, and Vilhjalmur Stefansson(high-fat diet, pretty high proportion of (raw) animal food), but also eating some raw carbohydrates such as raw organic/wild fruit/veg/honeycomb etc.). I'm also a firm believer in the feast-and-famine idea (ie Intermittent Fasting) as regards boosting one's energy levels, and giving my body a rest from constant digestion.

Special Diets - Organ meats give me diarrhea


Expert: RawPalaeoGuy - 3/24/2008

Question
I have been eating different organ meats lately such as beef heart, kidney, and liver. I have always known that if you eat too much liver it will give you diarrhea but recently I ate 3/4 lb of beef heart along with alot of fat and I got diarrhea later in the evening. I boiled the heart for about 1 minute before eating and it was mostly raw which is what I do with muslce meats. Do you have any idea as to why I am geetting this symptom?

Answer
Well, my usual detox-reaction to eating cooked foods is either constipation or diarrhea(usually the former), so you might want to experiment with all-raw heart for a while to see if there's a difference. Other than that, all I can suggest is that you keep on experimenting with other ideas(eg:- reducing the amount of fats or combining the organ-meats with muscle-meats at the same meal, perhaps?)
