The population of people with chronic illness and autoimmune disease do not always have expected reactions to healthy lifestyle choices that benefit the average person or population as whole. One person might experience near remission of their symptoms by following an Autoimmune Paleo (AIP) pattern of eating. Another person might feel severely ill on AIP, but thrive eating a vegan diet with a daily green smoothie. This can be extremely frustrating and confusing when you’re trying to figure out a way of eating that works for you. The goal of this post is to help work through the confusion.
