Ok, I only react to dairy so I don't have to worry about traces of
grains in food. I guess I'm lucky in that sense.

Sorry I realised after I sent it that I wasn't very clear. I never
thought that fruit could be part of a low carb diet :) I was just
saying that my taste changes more towards fruit in summer.
But salad? Salad is virtually all water and fibre. I'm sure most
salad is less than 1% digestible carbs. How much plant food do you
have to eliminate on a ketogenic diet?

That's strange, I'm the other way round.

Possibly it's just the cells naturally dying off as they lack food to
reproduce? Maybe the immune system is not involved. I'd love to know
the answer.
