Did paleo for 2 weeks, felt fine. Then suddenly I started getting fever, nausea, neck pain, and headaches that never go away. Ate some bread, made me feel better, and now it’s been 5 days since I’ve had anything non-paleo, and the symptoms are worse than ever.
Is this normal or do I have a brain tumor?
I had a similar eperience–i cut all grains for a while then ate bread n such—felt bloated n lazy… It took my body a few days to re-adjust. Like 5ish days
Were you consuming many carbs? For some people it can be rough for upwards of a few weeks

Italian guy here. Pasta and bread erryday. Not to mention junkfood.
“low carb flu” they call that. Lot of people get it when they first try low carb diets. It gets better.

I meant, any of those types of foods during the Paleo stint?
Sounds like a brain tumor.
Seriously, with your past diet, the contrast can be overwhelming. It took me a couple of weeks to adjust to a paleo way of eating. But once there, it’s great.
Up your fats for a while as you adjust.
Are you craving Diet Sodas or aspartame sweetened drinks?
If so don’t drink it.
I think Paleo is stupid but each to it’s own. When I go low-carb I feel dumb and hung-over, so I dont think it’s a brain tumor, unless you try to raise your leg and end up waving your arms over your head, or having a migrane every time you shake your head.

Well I didn’t eat anything non-paleo, but I had some sweet potatoes which made me feel slightly better.

… Uh-oh.
But srsly, nah didn’t crave anything. Just felt terrible.
You might be looking for a connection where there’s merely a correlation. You could just be sick.
It’s not a Toomah!
