Whats up with my diet?

As I stated in the first post, my diet is rather strict.

It is also why the first word of this blog's title is "Caveman".

Had enough suspense? I eat paleolithic-style (caveman):

• Nothing processed
• No grains what-so-ever
• No refined sugar
• No dairy
• No starchy vegetables (i.e. corn, white potatoes, and legumes)

So what does that leave?

• Meat in all its forms (eggs, beef, pork, fowl, shellfish, ect.)
• Non-starchy vegetables
• Fruits
• Nuts and seeds
• Flowers (well, the edible ones at least)
• Fermented foods
• Healthy fats (like extra virgin olive oil, bacon grease, and coconut oil)

So why do I eat this way?

At first it was because it made sense and all the newest research points to it being the healthiest way to eat. However, once I changed my diet, I came to a realization: The past 8 years that I had digestive and colon issues daily was not normal. In other words, I realized I have Celiac's Disease, as well as being allergic to lactose and milk proteins (meaning I cannot even consume lactose-free dairy items). I also get painful headaches when I consume corn syrup, which I used to think were just normal. I cant eat non-paleolithic even if I tried, unless, of course, I wanted to spend a good chunk of my time in the bathroom having digestive issues while being unable to breathe.
