Here is a link to a simple explanation.

Open Original Shared Link

Basically: no grains, pasta, noodles, cereal, bread, etc.

no potatoes,dairy, sugar, salt

no beans including string beans, peas,lentils, peanuts, snowpeas

Do eat meat, chicken, fish, eggs, and fruit.

Think of things our ancestors would have eaten as hunter/gatherers

Sounds like it would be constipating...unless of course, you can have some veggies...I don't know, maybe the fruit would be enough to ward off constipation. But Miaryan, one thing that almost always helps constipation, besides lots of what our moms (or maybe grandmas!)used to call "roughage", is psyllium husk fiber. A.k.a. Metamucil and stuff like that, but I refuse to take Metamucil and Co., because of all the sugars and coloring and other junk. Besides, it doesn't really mix well, and I hate drinking the stuff. Some people aren't bothered by all this at all though, so to each his own. But what I do is just take the psyllium husk fiber caps. Much easier and more pleasant! You can start with 2 or 3 at night, depending on how many milligrams of fiber are in a particular brand, and if they don't seem to work, gradually increase them. Honestly, though, I don't know how many would be too many, so be sure to read the label. And always, always, drink at minimum an 8 oz. glass of water with them, otherwise you run the risk of them sticking in your esophogus and swelling up. :oNot good. I always have trouble getting caps down, so I follow the water with a couple of bites of food, whatever's available and works, and then a lot more water.

I highly recommend quality probiotics and enzymes with eat meal. I say it all the time on these boards...so important for a healthy digestive track.

Hi, I was extremelt ill last year to the point of looking death in the eye. I recovered my health by discovering the mediterranean diet, this happened almost by accident after 6 months of trial and error with the north american gluten-free style diet. I am very strict with my diet, I miss bread but have moved on.

I live by 2 mottos

"when in doubt leave it out"

"keep it fresh, keep it simple"

No, don't worry that diet includes a whole bunch of vegetables, nuts and berries too. It's a hunter-gatherer type diet. You eat all the foods that our species grew up on before we decided to start taking short cuts and eating grains and legumes. Overall it's a fantastic diet if you have insulin issues.

One important thing to consider when eating this diet is that since you're supposed to be eating like a caveman/cavewoman be sure to eat meat that is like a caveman/cavewoman would have had access to. This means you also eat the organ meats (tongue is delicious) and you eat from non-grain fed animals. Just like humans, naturally fed animals have significantly different chemical makeup to their flesh/fat and this is what is good for your body.

Check out Robb Wolfs podcast very informative and entertaining as well

I'm not sure why they use the term paleolithic to describe this diet

you don't have to go back but a few generations and it was common for people to cook over fires and bread from what I understand was reserved for rich folks flour was expensive because of the machinery required to mill it wasn't widely available

I think I will try to call in a question to the podcast concerning this

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions.

      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to become more active and make more blisters.  I avoid kelp (nori, seaweed) and crustaceans,  eggs, dairy products, and iodized table salt.   Niacinamide and Nicotinic acid are water soluble and harmless.  I'd much rather take Niacin than Dapsone with scary side effects.

      We have a gluten-free household. It's the least stressful option. No one else in my family has Celiac, but they are all extremely supportive. We don't even have Play-doh for this kids.
