Susan and Beverle,

Loren Cordain recently had an interesting post on the Paleodiet Symposium
about the eating habits of hunters and gatherers.  To paraphrase, Dr. Cordain
stated that eating lots of carbohydrate and protein at the same meal would
not have been the usual pattern of eating for paleo people.  If a hunt was
successful, then mainly protein and fat would be consumed during that meal.
 At other times, gathered fruits and vegetables would have been the major
component of the meal.

So, food combining may have paleo/evoluntionary basis.  It certainly would be
worth a try to see if there are benefits.

Dr. Cordain's post can be found in the archives of the Paleodiet Symposium.
