Hi everyone!

I'm Renee. I decided to try AIP because of my psoriasis. I'm tire of "dealing" with it the conventional way. My doc suggested the shots that suppress your immune system - no thanks!

Started the AIP today. Still reading and honestly - very overwhelmed with all the information.

I already know wheat flares my psoriasis up, but am looking to control it more.

Any tips are welcome!!!!!!

This has been quite a journey for me that led me to AIP Paleo last week. It started almost two years ago with my youngest son's seizures and not wanting to heal him naturally when I came across that gluten can be the cause, I took the gluten out and they stopped (as well as his whole personality changing and he was able to talk in full sentences - he wasn't even talking prior to removing gluten). Well, after researching what gluten does I took it out of my other son's diet and that changed all his digestive and teeth issues so our whole house went gluten free. Then I developed food allergies during my last pregnancy and started to research all the other things about what foods affect what. That led to removing dairy from my boys' diets as well as mine. My daughter was born with Down Syndrome so I have been researching what will make her as healthy as possible. Needless to say, she'll be living the AIP Paleo lifestyle with me as soon as she turns one. I have Raynauds, psoriasis, eczema, and recently been diagnosed with asthma (since October I have had pneumonia, bronchitis, and numerous respiratory infections and viruses, plus I also had a large kidney stone). I am sick of being sick and came across the Paleo Mom's site and thus found out about the AIP Paleo approach. I am easing my kids and husband into a Paleo lifestyle by letting them eat through the pantry and that's it. I refuse to buy grains and sugary stuff. I will gladly make them Paleo desserts (I made two for my birthday and they were begging for more, I couldn't keep their hands off it) but I will not buy them crap anymore.

hi - did you find out anything from your sensitivity tests? my gp just ordered them last week... i dont "think" i have sensitivities or allergies.. but... you never know!

Hi Everyone. I'm still into the researching stage! There is so much to learn. I've stopped all grains/sugars/processed foods since Thursday and have already noticed a huge reduction in my bloating I have 80 lbs I should loose and have been diagnosed with HS which is actually a symptom of leaky gut. So my first order of business is actually fixing my gut and hopefully everything else can go into remission. Looking forward to this journey!
