    Yes. After just eliminating my food allergies (gluten, dairy, and eggs) didn't cure my symptoms entirely, I started doing the Paleo diet. After reading several books on the subject, I really feel that this is the healthiest way to live. My indigestion has gone away, I'm off asthma meds, and even my acne has cleared up. It'll probably be a while before...

    I do a lot of grilling, stir frying, and making of big stews in the slow cooker. Slow cookers are cheap and probably okay in dorm rooms. If a hot plate is allowed, get one. Just remember your very distant ancestors made this diet work in a cave over a cook fire, so you can probably do it in college. The Grain-free Gourmet is a decent cookbook (love the...

    Well, in your other thread I recommended Elaine Gottschall's book, so in this one, I'll recommend Loren Cordain's "Paleo Diet." It goes into how so many of our health issues today are "diseases of civilization" (i.e. your friendly neighborhood caveman didn't have heart disease, diabetes, indigestion, IBS, mental illness, asthma, or any of the other crap...

    I'm not sure if I can add anything to what's already been said, but I'd strongly suggest reading Elaine Gottschall's "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" if you haven't yet. It's not quite as strict as the Paleo diet and it takes into account the need to add probiotics (homemade yogurt done long enough to remove lactose) if you're dealing with leaky gut issues ...

    One of the first things I did when I found out I couldn't have gluten was to Google Jamba Juice (I love that place, and I was going to be seriously irked if I couldn't have my smoothies any more). Just about all their drinks and smoothies are listed as gluten-free, but they specifically say the wheatgrass isn't gluten-free.

    I wasn't gluten free when I was there, so I didn't pay much attention, but you might have some luck at Huckleberry's, which is an organic food store, kind of like Trader Joe's: Open Original Shared Link (This is in Spokane)

    Autumn, my gluten (and dairy) intolerance showed up on a regular food allergy test (the kind where they take blood and test you for like 95 different foods). It doesn't cost a whole lot (about $100), and it might be beneficial if only so you know what you can and can't eat. You might not need to be quite as strict as the hunter-gatherer diet.

    Despite having noticable symptoms of malabsorption (i.e. vertical ridges on my fingernails), I was never sickly looking. I'm a gym bunny, and I even won a local power lifting competition. Ultimately, it was GI problems that drove me to a doctor (first a lame-O one who said take drugs and you'll be fine and finally one who thought to have my tested for...
