Hi my name is Sylvia from Sydney, Australia. My paleo journey began more than 2 years ago when I became sick with unexplainable symptoms that various specialists could not diagnose after blood tests, nerve conduction tests, MRI's and so on.
I had elevated protein in my blood which indicated inflammation but that was it. Like many of you, I took control of my health and started researching diet related illnesses and discovered The Paleo Mum. I had been on a Fodmap diet on and off for a few years to help with digestion problems and I realised that I had to go further and so I did the AIP for 6 months, and symptoms decreased significantly. I was finally given a diagnosis of Sjogrens Syndrome- which has now been downgraded to sicca syndrome. I still follow a paleo diet, and make adjustments when needed. Also have been meditating for 2 years and do regular gym exercise and swimming.
