Hi Paula and Paleopundits,

>I began to develop bunions after I was eating paleo - not before.

Me too! I just developed bunions after recently buying some boots 
that evidently have too much of a heel for me. Usually I wear flat shoes.

>As long as I wear a relatively flat and wide shoe I have no pain, and I
>think the progression has been very slow.

I agree again. I had never noticed any pain until I got the boots.

>  My mother's and grandmother's nutrition was very poor.

My mother was diagnosed with celiac and her mum died in her 50s of 
chronic stomach problems, 'women problems' and a heart attack.

Thank you again everyone for so much information about bunions and 
restless leg.

My restless leg was particularly aggravating last night. The only 
different food I had eaten was a baked beet: (unpaleo), Sea salt - 
(What is in this salt?) and extra virgin oil from Portugal. (Was 
there anything else in there?) Was it the cooked food? I usually eat 
raw. Was it the pesticides? This was not an organic vegetable. Was it 
the high sugar content of the beet?

I bought some Himalayan salt the other day and I discovered that 
iodine can be present in it. Since I am celiac, iodine makes me itch. So I did.

Any ideas about this RLS episode?

Paleobest,
Susan
