Hi Joanna,

I'm glad to hear that. His work is very interesting and worth reading. Fasano is a conventional physician so unfortunately he doesn't focus on natural methods, so no diets or the like, but like most who know about autoimmunity, he does say no gluten for those dealing with an autoimmune disease. The diet for healing the gut or dealing with problems with intestinal permeability and so autoimmunity is pretty standard, since there's research indication what makes it worse and what better. You'll find numerous books and sites on the subject and you can find studies on PubMed. But they all pinpoint the same things to stay away from: grains, fairy, nightshades, nuts and seeds, alcohol, certain fats high in omega 6, etc. You can find good stuff that's based on research on the Paleo Mom's site, under autoimmune protocol, and the info is all there without needing to spend money and buy her book.
