<p>For those of you with auto-antibodies, what have you changed in your lifestyle since going Paleo? What has worked and what hasn't? Did you try eliminating nuts and eggs as suggested and did that help? Have you improved or eliminated them and which ones are they? Anything else you can think to mention.</p> <p>For me, I haven't eliminated nuts and eggs but never ate much of them either. Since going Paleo 6mo, my auto-antibodies (anti VGKC, GAD65, SS-B, and IgA-ttg) have decreased (25-50% last labs a year ago).</p>

<p>Best results for me was the auto-immune paleo - no grains, dairy, legumes, nightshades, nuts, seeds, alcohol and eggs. <a href="http://paleozonenutrition.com/2011/07/30/final-thoughts-on-my-30-days-of-auto-immune-paleo/" rel="nofollow">http://paleozonenutrition.com/2011/07/30/final-thoughts-on-my-30-days-of-auto-immune-paleo/</a></p>

<p>i have an immune deficiency (very low IgGs), as opposed to an auto-immune disease, but thought i'd chime in anyway because they're similar enough... i've become symptomless by going very low carb- only carbs are leafy greens, avocado, bell peppers, and the occasional starchier veggie like broccoli. my blood levels have remained the same but as long as i'm not getting sick, i'm happy. </p>

<p>fascinating! Mom has autoimmune thrombocytopenia (VERY low platelet counts) ... I wonder if the autoimmune protocol would help...</p> <p>BUT, she does sometimes have joint pain and has noticed that less peppers = less pain, whaddaya know</p>

<p>Actually does antibody levels going down actually mean your autoimmune symptoms are ameliorating? I thought so too but some of the rheumatologists don't think so and believe it's insignificant. </p> <p>One thing I'm curious about: If your Ab levels have gone down, have they been going down steadily or stabilized at some lower level. Also, have you tracked your WBC, platelet and leukocyte counts? They seem to go down steadily in people who suffer from autoimmune diseases, perhaps not out of the range but at the low-normal range. For example, my WBC has fallen steadily from like 7.5 to about 4.0 in 2 years. </p> <p>I'm curious if those numbers went up while your antibody levels came down while on an autoimmune Paleo diet.</p>
