Paleo diet on soya

Have anyone heard of The Paleo diet? http://thepaleodiet.com/

I occasionally drink miso soup. I never eat bean curd and drink soy milk for more than four years already. I suspected soya as the cause of my occasional arthritis and tendinitis. My last arthritis was in 2008 or 2009, I guess. I had drink soya milk in Shanghai. The next day my tendon was aching. I can hardly walk in the trade fair. It maybe just a coincidence but then I avoided soya since then. It has nothing to do with the Paleo diet! I don't know Paleo back then.

According to the Paleo's diet, people with autoimmune disorder should avoid soy products (grains, legumes, etc...) Because they tend to have leaky gut. Soy contains lectin, agglutinins and prolamins. It inhibits digestive enzyme production (ie. protease). Therefore these protein fragments not only travel through the digestive tract but they are also able to cross the gut barrier and cause leaky gut. This then causes gut dysbiosis. It may cause the over growth of Klebsiella. People with acute uveitis have high titer of anti-klebsiella antibody. Klebsiella is touted to cause inflammation via molecular mimicry with HLA-B27. Well said!

To my immunologist, HLA-B27 is just a statistics. Nothing more, nothing less. Since I don't have uric acid, my immunologist wants me to eat more soya because I have antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. Soya contains phospholipid. ^.^ Ai... Paleo.
