I knew that point of view as I know it very well because my point 2 is actually contrary to a paleo diet (not only an anti-autoimmune paleo); the point is that I reached this "compromise" because often is impossible to strictly follow a regime where you have no carbs at all (but I agree that you can); in my case I think that albeit in some instance not very healthy for anyone and causing inflamation, those foods are anyway not worse than the ones I listed above and probably better.
Actually I'm not sure they are evil as they give you calories we need to live, something not necessarily found in strictly accepted paleo foods. In many instance I feel good and full of energy after a dish of rice, and I'm still examining the actual harmful effect that rice or potatoes can have for us. I read once that japanese researchers found that traditional japanese foods (algae, rice above all) are prebiotic and probiotic, and are not associated with crohn's or uc, differently from foods as bread. Who knows the truth? I start from the point that my doctore allow me all types of foods excepted fibers, and try to understand how my body react; the anti-autoimmune diet is a theory and could be correct but not necessarily in the whole package, and perhaps some no-gluten cereal as rice or carb potatoes are nice to be digested for us.
