Has anyone read The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson? I'm just starting it today, trying to learn some new ways of eating. Any thoughts on it?

I have not read Primal Blueprint but I did read The Paleo Diet (Cordain) shortly after my dx. I found it to be a very good read, very informative, well researched and thoroughly footnoted (not surprising since the guy is a respected PhD and researcher).

When I initially went gluten-free, found that thinking about food in terms of what I could *not* eat was limiting and even somewhat depressing. Thinking in terms of "eating paleo" has been more expansive since there is so much I *can* eat, which really helped with my motivation, moving towards something rather than away. I feel very good on the paleo diet, lost my middle-age guy spare tire, and I am able to add more weights every week to the Nautilus machines I work out on at the gym, so it seems to be enabling me to get stronger, not surprising since the diet is so nutrient rich compared to the standard American diet I was eating previously....

Paleo is worth checking out, IMO. From what I know about Sisson, he seems credible so it should be a good read. Good luck!

Thanks, I'll check the other out as well! I think there must be a bit overlap between the two in some areas. Should be interesting!

I haven't read the book, but I learned all I needed to know from Sisson's website. Mark's Daily Apple.com.

I went Paleo after a whole year of being gluten free.

As soon as I went Paleo my recovery was fast and my weight stabilized and my muscles improved in tone and response. I was amazed.

In May I went off Paleo because I wanted to splurge on treats...it was my birthday month.

I regret that now.

Because I'm still craving sugar and sweets and fighting to get back to strictly Paleo.

I found that Darned Brazillian Tapioca Cheese Bread Recipe...and I fell in love!

It's absolutely devoid of nutrition!

But ymmy!

Anyway, for my body, Paleo is the really right answer!

I just felt tons better on it.

Not sluggish at all!

I recommend his site for a good read any day. It sure makes you think about what we put in our bodies!

Good luck!

I think it should be called Mark's Daily Steak instead of Mark's daily apple though!

Hope you try it and post back how you do with it!

PS...Don't try the Tapioca cheese bread :ph34r:

It ain't Paleo no matter how hard I tried to convince myself that cassava root is only a vegetable! Haha!!

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
