Are you eating the masa corn flour and brown rice as part of the paleo? If so do you find it affects you badly? I'm doing the month long introductory GAPS then back on the paleo and am trying to figure out if there is anything I can cheat on lol... (Probably not the best way to go about it) I've never felt better than when I was eating strict paleo but it's a tough one to stick to long term.
Yes, I'm eating the rice and corn flours as a regular part of my diet. They don't seem to bother me when I splurge occasionally, but I don't feel quite as good now as I did when I was strictly paleo. If the grains are the culprits, c'est la vie. It might just be in my head, though, or stress, or the weather. It's too hard to tell. Early on, I found a paleo naan recipe that's my go to flatbread and I'm trying to make quinoa tortillas, though. Not because they're paleo, but because I like the taste & texture. You're right about paleo being hard to stick to, I'm also a chronic cheater.
The cooking instructions for both are the same.
Paleo Naan
1/2 cup superfine ground almond flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch (aka tapioca flour)
1 cup canned full fat coconut milk
Quinoa Tortillas
1 cup quinoa flour
1 cup water
Mix all ingredients. Pour into greased, pre heated nonstick skillet to desired size. Cook until set in a nonstick skillet on medium, flip, and cook other side until golden brown. (They take a while to cook). Add water to make a thinner batter for crepes, use water (or coconut milk) less for thicker bread like pita.
