I started Paleo 4 1/2 months ago and I rarely cheat! My entire family is paleo, so there aren't that many temptations! Over the weekend, I cheated with Pizza at a party (cake and icecream, too :/ ). Honestly, I just wanted to see how it affected me! I SO REGRET it!!! My joints, from my fingers to my toes, are so sore! It's been two days and I am still in a lot of pain! I feel just like I did before going paleo!!!

So, what can I eat to help with this joint pain or just speed up the healing process faster! I don't even really like to cheat & now I know why!! Ouch.... :(

    Its amazing how now since eating well is a priority, when you have a slip your body tells you 'Hey, you are an the right path!! See...SEE!!! how you feel!!??" Crazy!!
    I had the same experience ate a bunch of bread and my hands ached for two days in the joints, like I had artheritis!!
    Dont be too down..just keep going forward! And drink LOTS of water =)

    Water should definitely help =) You could also try eating some extra bright colored veggies, they help get rid of toxins =)

    I'm not sure if this is common, but I found that the first couple of times I ate something with gluten I had a really strong reaction... several days in the bathroom.

    But since, it has become more mild again. I still don't eat gluten very often, but if I do choose to enjoy something I get belly grumbles but nothing as fierce as those first few times.

    My husband thinks it's all in my head, but I find kombucha after getting gluten-ed helps me get back to normal more quickly. Lots of water, too!
