Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder in which immune cells attack and destroy the exocrine glands that produce tears and saliva. It also associated with rheumatic disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, and it is rheumatoid factor positive in 90 percent of cases.
I just read the "Paleo Approach", by Sarah Ballantyne, PhD. According to her, the Paleo diet includes almost everything except: grains, gluten, legumes, dairy and nightshades. This excludes pasta, rice, and potatoes which are typically what starches one would eat with meat, fish, etc.
So, my question is: What starches do you eat in place of those?

However, I think it is better to just exclude the carbs or starches that turn completely to sugar very slowly such as pasta, rice, potatoes, and breads.
Other things you can eat are nuts, all kinds of berries and if it were me I would eat any kind of fruit which is in season.
Paleo is the caveman diet and they just ate whatever was in season. When they ate meat they ate all the fatty parts first and dried the rest. They ate roots, berries, nuts whatever was available. Keeping yourself high on protein is important, so you don't crave the other.
I did that diet and lost 40lbs. Once you reach your desired goal you are supposed to start adding things back in until you start putting weight back on. You then need to find your maintenance point.
