New book on autoimmunity -- The Paleo Approach
There's a new book coming out soon (1/28/14) that I thought might be of interest around here. It's called The Paleo Approach: Reverse Autoimmune Disease and Heal Your Body by Sarah Ballantyne, Ph.D. I think I'm going to try to get ahold of it from my local library. It's 400+ pages of information on health, diet, digestion, etc., especially related to various autoimmune diseases. Sarah also runs a great blog (http://www.thepaleomom.com) where she posts recipes and articles. She has a background in scientific research, so she has a much better grasp on that stuff than your average person!

I preordered the book and found out this morning that it will be here on the 31st. Just in time for my birthday the next day. 
At the moment, I am reading Chris Kresser's book, Your Personal Paleo Code. Having done this for a while I am not learning a whole lot new, but refining and adding to what I already know.
Chris recommends doing a 30-day reset first off where you remove all grains, dairy, sweets (natural and artificial), alcohol, caffeine, etc. from your diet. I am a couple of weeks into that. I had been eating cheddar and corn. I am pretty amazed at how well I am starting to feel. I am mostly asymptomatic as far as my gut is concerned, but obviously, one or the other (or both) were affecting my well-being and brain.
I am really looking forward to Sarah's book!! She has sent out a few screen shots of some pages, and it looks like it is really going to be a great resource specifically for autoimmune stuff.

Fun! Great b-day present!
I really want to read Chris' book too! I've read some stuff on his site and heard him on some podcasts. What I love about his approach (Stacy and Sarah advocate the same ideas on their podcast as well) is the customization aspect of it. There's a starting point of the elimination diet, but then there are other "gray areas" that aren't the same for everyone. Some people get too hung up on a set of unbreakable rules -- this is "paleo," but this other thing isn't. "I don't eat X, Y and Z, so you shouldn't either." It's all about getting healthy and fueling your body in the best way possible!
