Hi Fredrik, >my nose problem had partly returned i.e. there >was tallow on its surface and the skin was a bit inflamed. It really >choked me and for a moment I lost faith in paleo diet. I had the same problem when I started eating seeds. The sides of my mouth cracked too. When I eat some nuts I get arthritis pain in my left knee and I itch. Pimples on my back result sometimes. Perhaps the nut/seed protein molecule resembles gluten and casein? Paleobest, Susan
