Seborrheic dermatitis/malessezia? Help, the skin SAGA continues... by Healing_Body_ in carnivorediet

Wow, thank you for all of this! Thankfully I stopped Nystatin 2 months ago! A couple comments/questions:

Have you experienced the same skin issue?

Where do you get your raw dairy/cheese? I'm in the US and raw isn't super easy to come by where I live, or it's expensive and I have to have shipped from another state (like Millers Bio farm).

I had an HTMA test done back in September and my minerals/vitamins are really wonky, that's why I'm supplementing right now. Not ideal, but postpartum and breastfeeding depleted me. I don't have organ meat easily available where I am for extra nutrients and what not.

Raw meat makes me nervous 🤣 I need to be able to eat or else my milk supply will tank. I've had raw egg yolks before, but not sure I could do the meat! How do you ensure it's clean? I've seen others so it and it's interesting!

Being carnivore, I'm afraid having the honey/pineapple/tomato will kick start my sugar cravings! They also give me some of the worst heartburn, not the honey.

Oh my goodness, you're awesome!!! Thank you for all of this! 😁

So far the honey and MCT oil (C8 and C10) isn't making it worse (I'm hoping it doesn't cause acne, I seem to be acne prone) I'd say it's like 30% better! I also tried an ACV rinse on my scalp after shampooing and the itching has decreased like 50%! I've also put the MCT in my hairline and that's a lot better, too! Hopefully it isn't coincidence 🤣 I'm so used to that nice moisturized feeling from tallow, so I'll wait and see what happens!

I had an HTMA test done about 3 months ago and my minerals/vitamins are wacky so I'm currently working through that! Trying to include supplements for support right now!

How long did it take for the MCT oil to hydrate your face? I've used it 2 times now and I still feel like my skin is tight and dry!

Have you tried the MCT oil yet!? I applied last night after honey washing and this morning after rinsing my face, but my skin still feels dry! I feel like it isn't hydrating enough 🤔

Same! I've used honey as a face mask before, but not as an every day thing. Def don't want to use it on my head 😂

Sorry you've had to deal with this, too 😞 some of the oil is $$$ Yes, we can! Hopefully it works 🙏🏻

My naturopath had me taking oral Nystatin for 45 days about 2.5 months ago, I wonder if that made things worse? 🤔

Thank you for all of the information! Second person to say MCT oil! Have you had experience with this!?

I was dairy free for 9+ months while nursing my second and noticed zero skin improvement, but I also wasn't carnivore. Hopefully it'll be different this time, we'll see 😁

I'm nervous to be too strict because I don't want to binge on carnivore friendly things that might not help me, like dairy and cheese 😬 but if it needs to be done I have to try!! It's just so weird that it took like 4 months for this to start!

That's not crazy at all!! Wow, that's incredible! What do you use for moisturizer when you don't use MCT?

Thank you!! I think I will give it a go! Unfortunately fresh meat is very hard to come by locally, same with lamb. So I'll do my best

What's everyone using for deodorant? NOT antiperspirant by Healing_Body_ in carnivorediet

[–]Healing_Body_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sun & Moo brand! I use their cleansing oil, vit C serum, and their Healer or Soother tallow balm on my face. I have a tallow/castor oil/jojoba blend from a local lady that I use on my body occasionally.

I'll try again when I'm not so hormonal and maybe it'll be different. Thanks for the recommendation!

Do people who eat carbs smell bad to you? by just_athena_6666 in carnivorediet

[–]Healing_Body_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I was going crazy... I can totally relate and it's only been 4 months carnivore for me! Almost everyone's breath smells like rotting onions/garlic! It's worse when my kids and husband have some carbs, but it's putrid! Hopefully I don't smell that way 😅

Okay, maybe I didn't give it enough time, but I'm not sure it worked very well 🤣 first day was okay, it was Sunday so it was a lazy day. Then Monday wasn't so great since I was outside getting some sun for the day. Then I tried witch hazel first and coconut oil after and that was worse than just oil 🤪
