sjogren's and paleo autoimmune protocol

Posted , 16 users are following.

A friend of mine sent me a link about a more strick version of the paleo diet It's called the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol. Has anyone out there heard of it or tried it? If so, did it work? She knows I've been diagnosed with sjogren's and wanted to help but I'm not sure I can eat like that the rest of my life. She also mentioned GAPS diet. Help, anyone?

      Thank you for the good encouragement, I need it bc quite frankly, I'm scared. My symptoms were really only a nuisance at first (7 years ago), now some days they are crippling. Have you found complete relief from your symptoms or just improvement

      Meant to read AIP -autoimmune Protocol...I am going to wait now to hear you tried it...I was diagnosed 22 years ago now..it flares up sometime..like right now..but it also lays dormant sometimes-you wouldn't even know I had it ...which is great...but this lifestyle is just the best knowing that the Paleo mum is also a sufferer and a nutritionist..it gives such relief...almost feel better straight away.....she also explains the science behind everything in lay mans terms for us..be blessed...try and be positive and stresskess it's such  a catalyst for us being well..:-) xx

      Red meat is toxic and the animals suffer terrifying cruelty when slaughtered. Many people call this diet the Darwin diet. It is what the scientist Darwin reported that our primate ancestors ate. Btw, nuts are fine. Just no sugar, junk food prepackaged, etc. Fruits, veggies, lean small amounts of meat or fish, etc. Lots of water. No alcohol. No drugs. No sodas. No candy. Eat like you are an early human.

      My meat is definately not toxic..i live in Tasmania all our meat is grass

      fed and in this country there are very strict laws about cruel and

      slaugter....i dont know that meat is toxic wouldnt toxidity in your body

      make you quite ill..PALEO is definately not Darwin Diet, I eat

      nothing at all processed, no bread, rice, i make -cauliflower rice its

      yummy, pasta..i maje zukhinni spiraks....nightshades, like potato

      etc.. in moderation. Paleo is not about eating like the cavemen did

      its more about eating whats good for your gut...like saturared fat

      we have been told for years not to eat it..and lots of other natural

      food, .yet our body needs it..digests it well etc.,SUGAR IS THE POISON

      Thats what gives us heart problems not the good fat..we need

      cholesterol to fix up the damaged heart vessels that sugar has done.

      cholesterol is akwats oresent when operating because it

      Is trying to repair the damage that sugar has done..this knowkedge

      comes fro personal experiences...backed by scientists and

      heart specialists aouund the world..ive seen cholesterol dropped

      to a normal count after they have struggled for years with quite

      high cholesterol ...where people on the PALEO lifestyle and thats what it is ,

      not a diet..i really wonder what source you get your information

      from, and i only say that because there are heaps and heaps

      of unreputable info out there, usually privatel,y sometimes quite secretly backed

      by a large food company..like Coca Cola..who try to tell us that al the

      different food companies they own and there is a frightening ammount

      make good heathy food..its very surprising to find out who they own...

      Ive geen on the PALEO lifstyle now for 4 years and i definately would not

      go back to where my health was. be blessed.Jordan, have a lovely day.

      There is nothing processed in the Darwin diet. My point about the similarities in the Paleo and Darwin diets is that all of the food in the two diets are found naturally on Earth--from the beginning of human existence. I also said that only a small amount of protein is required in any diet. Red meat is routinely NOT recommended by all drs. If one likes to eat red meat it is recommended that one eats red meat in small quantities. Last of all, if you are going to be unkind to me, please do not also bless me.
