I have a rash on my stomach and back that seems very red, hot and itchy. I have tried many creams and potions but the best for me is coconut oil and this seems to relieve the itching . It is nowhere near as bad now as it was in the beginning and now just comes and goes, but knowing what it is helps as I know I am doing my diet correctly. I found help on Diet Doctor where many people describe their symptoms and I realised I was not alone. If it gets too much just up the carbs for a few days and it will go away, but it comes straight back again as soon as you drop the carb intake.

Thank you for the pointer. I am fairly certain that is what I have. This forum really is a font of knowledge. Didn't even think that it could be related to LCHF.

FYI I also found this website.

Well i am on day 5 and already feel better in myself...palpitations have gone (thanks for the advice).
MFP is helping although i am a little too high on fats and little under on carbs and protein. Will get there though.
Weigh in on Monday so will see how i am doing.
Thanks all for your support

Can I ask what are your ratios of fat to protein and carbs please? Well done with the weight loss Sam!
