Hi Paul,
I have also read "Life without bread" and was a little worried by the comments about autoimmune responses. I have MS.
However, I do find that following a low carb Paleo diet my MS is non-existent.
So, I'm not worrying too much about and just trying to stick to the way of eating that works for my body. It is hard though sometimes!!

Subject: [P-F] Autoimmune responses on low-carb

I’ve just finished „Life without bread”. One of better books I’ve read on
low-carbing. Unfortunately life is not that simple.

Question, question:

Authors stated that going low-carb too quickly can trigger some autoimmune
response since your immune system starts to work properly while your body is
still damaged by previous high carb diet so immune system attack sick
organs. It makes some senseGet more from the Web.  FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com
