Summary
Cedar 58549 tried a paleo diet for about 18 months; it left them exhausted with chronic stomach pain and they said it only got worse, so they went back to normal eating and their stomach settled. They also did gentle lying-down physical therapy exercises for almost a year, which strengthened their core and ended constant lower back pain.
