This week, we have a question from Mikaela, so let's give it a listen. Mikaela: Hi, Chris. This is Mikaela. I have a question for you about the autoimmune protocol. Well, and actually, really, in the elimination diet. I have been following the autoimmune protocol for Crohn's disease to control my symptoms since 2012. And I have had success, but I'm not 100 percent better. And I've had very limited success in reintroducing foods.

Chris: Thanks so much for sending in your question, Mikaela. It's a great one.

But certainly there are other foods that are healthy otherwise, and they're well tolerated that are removed from things like the autoimmune Paleo prot...
