I'm still confused why people think that Paleo is low carb.
Where you gettin this % from man? I'm sure less than 1% have been diagnosed with Celiac as it pretty much would take some severe symptoms and then probably an EGD to diagnose (guessing there, like the 1% number) but you see my point.
I personally don't think it's low carb. I just like to see diversity in a diet in order for most of us to be able to more easily get the nutrition we need and/or to be able to stick with it. It takes a very dedicated and serious person to stick to a diet that really tries to narrow down so many good things.
Great info. Thanks. I wasn't trying to be a dick with my prior post I was just really curious how we could get an accurate # on something that pretty much makes people uncomfortable and feel crappy except in severe cases (so most except the bitches that go to the ER for any ****in' thing) aren't ever going to get diagnosed. Antibody titers, that should have occurred to me. That's a lot less invasive than getting scoped. Plus with EVERY other bonehead talking about celiac, saying they have it etc. there may be more people diagnosed than actually have it just because their doctor is f*ckin' sick of dealing with them. (Anyone hear of fibromyalgia? Similar scenario except I think celiac actually does exist and there are actual test for celiac)Cutting-edge issues in celiac disease and in gluten intolerance.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is a gluten-dependent immune-mediated disease with a prevalence in the general population estimated between 0.3% and 1.2%. Large-scale epidemiological studies have shown that only 10-20% of cases of CD are identified on the basis of clinical findings and that laboratory tests are crucial to identify subjects with subtle or atypical symptoms. The correct choice and clinical use of these diagnostic tools may enable accurate diagnosis and early recognition of silent CD cases. In this review, we have considered some relevant aspects related to the laboratory diagnosis of CD and, more extensively, of gluten intolerance, such as the best combination of tests for early and accurate diagnosis, the diagnostic role of new tests for detecting antibodies against neoepitopes produced by the transglutaminase-gliadin complex, the forms of non-celiac gluten intolerance (gluten sensitivity), and the use and significance of measuring cytokines in CD.

My thought is, try paleo if you want. Tweak it if you want. See how you feel. Keep it up if you want. For me I rarely get as many calories as I need to even when cutting and even when not cutting out dairy. Without cottage cheese hitting protein goals would be unattainable.
I lasted on Paleo for about a month and a half. I did lose a little weight, but nothing substantial. While I appreciate the emphasis on whole and unprocessed foods, the diet itself is not sustainable due to it being so restrictive. It's easier going out to eat as a vegan than it is paleo. (your friends will hate you, I promise) Anytime a huge laundry lists of food are "off limits" , more often than not, you are setting yourself up for failure and yet another crash diet. If you are going to go that route at all, I would suggest checking out the "Primal" approach which allows some dairy.
