Lots to write about this topic but not lots of time today, so for expediency check out www.thepaleomom.com and click on the drop down menu for Autoimmunity.
I am stoked about this website and her new book The Paleo Approach. I can't say enough and strangely one reason is that today I violated her suggestions and ended up with a stabbing headache (I never get them) a nose full of what feels like rubber cement, and, um, a lot of gas.
What I ate to bring that on was: a "Whenever Bar" (grain, nuts, sugar, etc. - just because it is gluten-free does not mean it is good for you) which brought on cravings for cashews (I have not eaten nuts for over a month) and I ate a LOT of them. I have been mostly grain free for about 2 months I think. The exceptions have been white rice several times a week, and lately some gluten-free bread a couple of times a week. Grain, legumes and nuts are "off" the Paleo Approach AI plan. Also nightshade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers of all kinds including any type of cayenne etc... and eggplant). I hate it a lot because I love nightshade vegetables. However, the last time I went off them and then challenged myself with them I had a flare of fibromyalgia that lasted for several weeks.
So, I have to count this experience as one more verification of her approach. To be continued!
