My wife and I are following the Paleo diet in different ways. As I said in my last post, the basics of the Paleo diet are to cut out grains, dairy, and legumes. These are the foods that are believed most likely to cause allergies, inflammation, and damage in the body. Most followers will eliminate those foods and see significant improvement within a few weeks.
From the start, I cut out those foods as well as nightshades (most notably potatoes, peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes). Research suggests that these foods are also common inflammation triggers. Initially, Sasha elected to hold onto dairy, but she did cut out grains and legumes. She's eating the last of some cheese we have, and I think she'll be dairy-free after that.
A few days ago, based on a suggestion I read from a couple of sources, I chose to also remove eggs, nuts, and seeds from my diet. These are listed as possible autoimmune triggers, and I want to give my body the best chance to heal as I can.
