I bought The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook, and found it a helpful introduction. One thing I dislike about is it that it tries to give a 4 week plan, but the recipes aren't made for all seasons. For example, there are some soups I know I won't try for a while. Also, some of the recipes look really good but contain hard to find ingredients (none of my local CA grocery stores carry blood oranges). Many of the recipes are good (made the apple crumble with peaches/blackberries and it was to die for!) but sometimes the obvious substitute recipes fall flat (I'm sorry, but you can't have "garlic mayo" with that much coconut. It just doesn't work). I would buy it again - it was just so helpful getting started.

I also recently bought He Won't Know It's Paleo which is actually an AIP book as well. I haven't had this one as long, but I've mostly tried the baking recipes. If you're looking for an AIP substitute that people won't know is AIP, look elsewhere. But damn, after not eating real brownies for a long time, the cacao brownies taste almost as good to my palate. But there in lies the danger: if you're the only one willing to eat this because of your starved palate, you may end up eating more than you intended. The best dinner recipe in this is for the lettuce wraps, which the author has posted online. I've got to try more of the recipes before giving a full review. I would prob be disappointed if I spent $30 on this one.

My neurologist recommended giving this a try. The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0578135213/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1419802096&sr=8-1&dpPl=1&dpID=61ItZmIggTL&ref=plSrch
Just picked it up, but haven't tried it yet?

Same here, for Gluten and Dairy. My levels have remained the same, but my antibodies at last test were insane (almost 5k), but my quality of life improved exponentially. someone recommended this book to me, which I would highly recommend. Good Luck!

u/chromarush · 4 pointsr/Hypothyroidism

I get swollen joints (hands, knees especially) , stiffness, random pains, and plantar fasciitis from Hashimotos. It happens exclusively due to my immune system being triggered. For a long time I just thought people had random pain but then once I got it under control I realized it only happens when my immune symptoms are triggered. Depending on the trigger I get different symptoms... for example gluten and dairy cause the stuff listed above but I'll also get really spacey and forgetful and then get bout of depression within 48 hours. Almost all of my triggers are food triggers and I have way more than most people so I had to do a lot of trial and error to figure out what was causing me problems.

If you feel inspired to attempt some different elimination diets here are a few to consider:

  • IMF Elimination Diet Is a good first step.

  • Whole30 I really recommend the book for the recipes, food planning, and cooking intro) there is also a subreddit for support

  • Autoimmune Protocol - There are lots of online resources. This is a great intro book

  • FODMAP elimination diet. The Monash University app for iPhone or Android is very helpful for starting the diet.

    Also I can't recommend enough a good doctor or dietitian/nutritionist who will help you with vitamin deficiencies and elimination diets.

An autoimmune Paleo (AIP) diet would be mostly what she's doing. There are a number of sites and recipes available for that. Like this https://autoimmunewellness.com/recipes/


Here's a good book option The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook: An Allergen-Free Approach to Managing Chronic Illness (US Version) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578135213/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9VRODbYWA73TK

Great AIP stater book with a meal plan and grocery list for 4-8 weeks.

u/Astroturfer · 3 pointsr/Lyme

Yeah I think this is pretty common across Lyme patients. The infection (or lingering damage) creates so much inflammation, you need to eat pretty clean to even get close to feeling "normal."


This book on the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been pretty useful for me in terms of finding some new creative ideas that don't involve grains:

u/starsintoxicated · 3 pointsr/Hidradenitis

I started a modified Paleo diet a year ago and I've seen a dramatic improvement. I'd say 95% improvement. There are days and weeks where I forget I even have HS. The diet change is difficult--I would get depressed at the thought of food--but I adapted to it after 6 months.

Castaway Kitchen (Cristina Curp) and Curious Coconut (Amanda Torres) have very good AIP/Paleo recipes. They both have HS and have put it into remission using diet.I've tried their recipes and they taste very good. I've made the chicken more times that I can count.

Also, this is a great book - Mickey Trescott's Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0578135213/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0
I use the winter squash soup recipe quite often.

Cristina Curp's book 'Made Whole' is excellent.

That's a tricky set of conditions for sure. The instinct for how to throw things together just comes with time and practice really. At the beginning, especially dealing with allergies, following recipes may be necessary.

Paleo will be challenging with no eggs and dairy, and many recipes also rely heavily on coconut and cashew.

Realistically it would be best to start with paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) cookbooks and build from there.

A great reliable cooking fat is pastured lard. Rich in vitamin D also.

Gelatin is a good replacement for eggs to act as a binder, also it is gut healing.

For the most part you should be able to replace nuts with seeds. Hemp hearts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds etc.

Lots of books out there, here's a popular one: https://www.amazon.com/Autoimmune-Paleo-Cookbook-Allergen-Free-Approach/dp/0578135213

The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook

sorry i was so vague, yea sugar is essentially in almost anything, but avoiding added sugars helped me out a lot, fructose and all that bothers me sometimes but nowhere near as bad as added.

u/damaged_but_whole · 1 pointr/Hashimotos

I think diet is the most important part for that based on my whirlwind research in the past few days.

I also found this page: https://www.restartmed.com/tpo-antibodies/

I think besides eliminating gluten, dairy, sugar, and alcohol from your diet (and probably some other things, too), the next important step are these nutrients that repeatedly come up like Selenium, Zinc, etc. I found this supplement that has 4,000+ positive reviews on Amazon. I ran it through fakespot and review meta to make sure the reviews are not fake. It got an A grade, passed with flying colors. Searching through the reviews, I found a lot of references to "hashimoto's," "anxiety," and "hair" regrowth. If you search for these quoted terms, you will find the reviews yourself. It appears to be a very good supplement that really helps. I've just ordered it yesterday, so I haven't actually tried it yet.

As far as diet and explanation goes for auto immune diseases like Hashimoto's, this book came highly recommended along with this cookbook. I will probably only get the first book because I never use cookbooks. Just tell me what I can eat and I will make my own meal no problem.
