I noticed on the website that Celiac's disease can cause lactose intolerance,
weight gain, fatigue, and at least a few other symptoms I have. I'll definitely
have to mention this to my doctor, especially if I avoid glutens for a while and
the symptoms diminish.

Jon replied:
Well, they get extremely violently ill if they even have small amounts of gluten. That might be a matter of degrees of symptoms, too.

From the websites I've read since I sent this email last night, I'm guessing
I
don't have Celiac's disease, but it looks like some of those symptoms are also
things that can be alleviated by a diet called the paleolithic diet or caveman
diet. Basically, anything that a caveman could have easily eaten is fine, but any
food that requires a lot of processing to prepare is not. Meats, fruits, most
veggies, and most nuts are ok. Beans, potatoes, processed sugar, grains, and
dairy products are off-limits. (Fortunately, one site said if you need to cheat,
cheat by eating cheese or a little butter. I'm not sure I could get by without
my occasional cheese fix :-)


Has anyone heard about this diet? Comments? Suggestions?
