@nothingclever i am currently not eating starches/complex carbs and feeling a bit better, though I don't stay full/satiated for long after eating. i think i was having reactions to eggs and chocolate and sugarcane so i cut those out, and I'm taking some liver cleansing supps along with glutathione and glutamate and sacc boulardi. I'm basically just eating dates/berries and seafood 3 times a day, along with bone broth throughout the day and herbal tea.

@nothingclever i believe i have a systemic fungal issue, either due to a long-term vegan diet in the past or too many colon cleanses/detoxing or mold exposure or messed up microbiome or all of the above. I've tried anti-candida diets and keto and carnivore and ray peat style eating on and off and experienced some relief at times. I've also been prescribed diflucan which provides temporary relief but is harsh on my body. the more i read and research and experiment that more i think all of my symptoms are related to an underlying fungal issue, though when i was near bed ridden at my worst years ago i got tested for mycotoxins and it came back negative, same for lyme, and all my blood work was good....

I have been dealing with the following and would like some opinions about what's happening and some advice:
-dry/dehydrated skin
-hungry soon after eating
-tired after i eat
-general fatigue, apathy, occasional brain fog
-occasionally itchy/irritated (like a histamine response) after eating or while laying in bed at night
-occasional itchy butt crack, groin area
-rash breakouts in armpits and inner elbow area, occasionally neck
-itchy inner left ear
-seb derm on scalp
-bit of tinea versicolor on back

I need to hydrate my face. I believe I have a systemic fungal issue that I'm working on. I gave up on creams and lotions long ago and have bounced around using every oil out there, and now every oil I use I end up getting small irritation or red patches or blackheads/pimples. I have extremely dry skin so when I use nothing my skin is clear but super itchy and flakey and tight.

Would love suggestions for smelly armpits. I have tried every natural deodorant under the sun and they now all seem to make my armpits irritated and sometimes break out in a rash. I believe I have some systemic fungal issues that may be contributing to this, which I'm working on. I've used just lemon with some success though it burns a bit.

@pittybitty you don't experience dry skin at all?
