So for a while now I’ve been stuck in a bad cycle of GI issues. From horrible acid reflux that’s causing esophagitis and damaging my body, and also a bad balance of my gut micro biome. I’ve been prescribed PPI’s but recently discontinued them because I don’t think they’re helping and also just making matters a lot worse. On top of that I need to get back on my antidepressants and I’m not willing to take a risk with the nasty interactions that may occur. Does anyone on here have advice on paleo? I’ve heard it can be very beneficial and even solve a lot of these problems. I already am taking garden of life mens probiotics, and not much of a difference has been noticed yet but I’m trying to stick to it. I suppose my question is, what is paleo? I’ve been trying to do my own research but am getting quite overwhelmed with how broad of a diet it seems to be. What should I be cutting out of my diet and what CAN I actually eat to follow this diet and maybe eventually solve these issues without having to take PPI’s which clearly seem to be a medication that doesn’t actually do much to solve the issue at hand. If anyone has advice on foods they eat for a paleo diet I would really appreciate some help.
You can almost certainly completely resolve these issues with diet. Ask me how I know … Haven’t had acid reflux in years now. PPIs are bad news. That’s not the solution.
Paleo, Plant Paradox, etc. I’d definitely look at staying keto with whatever option you go with, as it’ll very likely have a profound impact on your mental health.
Personal Paleo Code by Chris Kresser is a complete roadmap and plan for Paleo. Plant Paradox by Gundry is another fantastic program. But really, any elimination diet + keto is probably going to work for you.
