Has anyone tried the Paleo diet? I'm 26 and I've been diagnosed with a rheumatoid condition (sore muscles & joints). This diet is suppose to help alleviate symptoms. Just wondering if anyone has given it a try and how it worked out.

    I've been doing Primal, which almost the same as paleo (I eat a little bit more dairy and don't worry about saturated fats), and it has made a HUGE difference in my pain. I have fibromyalgia so I have a lot of muscle and joint pain. I have been eating for about 2 months, and I will never go back to the conventional diet. Every time I eat any grains or sugar now, within minutes my joints start hurting and the muscle soreness increases. It is truly like night and day. That being said, the pain isn't all gone, but it has improved significantly. Give it a good go with the paleo diet and I doubt you'll be disappointed. Best of luck!

    Thanks for the input. I agree - diet has a direct correlation to my pain level. Every time I would eat Chinese food, I would get shooting pains down my arms :S Candy bars, desserts...those cause lots of aches too. I'm trying so hard to cut out the junk food! It will be a painful work in progress...my goal is to be able to eat well 98% of the time.
