Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Painful breasts
Been LC for 5 months. Breast tenderness was increasingly bad. The doc said nothing to worry about its hormonal. Went off LC since xmas and no change. I have read that diets high in animal protein can cause this. Has anybody else had the same? E Back on LC. >Been LC for 5 months.

Has anybody else had the same? I get this problem when I am close to my TOM and on birth control pills. I'm off the pills now so no breast tenderness but it is a while before my TOm rolls around again so I will have to wait and see for certain on that one. Are you using Flax Seed oil? It causes this problem for me. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2. Cut the carbs to respond to my email address!

I take 1000mg a day of Evening Primrose Oil and it's reduced the pain by more than half. Wendy > Are you using Flax Seed oil?

And since you went off LC and had no change, you've pretty much dispelled "high protein" (as you call it) as a cause. I know that caffeine consumption is a well known and documented cause of breast pain. What's your caffeine intake level? Otherwise, your doctor is probably right. Connie ***************************************************** My mind is like a steel...um, whatchamacallit. It's actual a fairly common condition for women. My specialist recommended Vits E & B6 and Evening Primrose, as well as cutting out the caffeine and chocolate. On Atkins, it's recommended not to take caffeine anyway... But - oh - what I wouldn't give for a cup of hot chocolate or some Godivas right now... (Repeating, "A moment on the lips; forever on the hips...") Purrrz, Sue Sue, Low carb cocoa is easy. Better yet, there have been several studies published this year showing that cocoa powder contains magnesium and phytochemicals that help control blood sugar and prevent cataracts. I have recipes for very low carb cocoa on my low carb web site at http://www.geocities.com/jenny_the_bean/recipes.htm You make it with water, splenda or DaVinci sugar free syrup, cocoa powder, and your choice of cream, half and half or Carb Countdown milk. It clocks in at 1 carb and 46 calories made with cream, or 33 calories and 2 grams of carb made with 1/4 cup of milk and the rest water. The latter is what I prefer. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2. Cut the carbs to respond to my email address!

But after a month of LC my first TOM my breast were definitely more painful. Like don't even think about looking at them painful. Never thought it was LC, just figured something hormonal was changing and would be better next month.  SignatureMelisa 203/175.5/140 > Been LC for 5 months.

I hate it when this happens... it's usually just before that time of the month. They're in pain right now and I wish it was all over... for another few weeks anyway.. I feel the pain while I'm running. :-( Gotta love being a woman. > Been LC for 5 months. Breast tenderness was increasingly bad. > The doc said nothing to worry about its hormonal.
