The Paleo Autoimmune Protocol Diet

Have you ever heard of the AIP or Autoimmune Protocol? It is a diet that can significantly help those who suffer from autoimmune diseases. So, what does it have to do with the paleo diet, you ask? Well, one look at the two and you’ll see that they are practically the same! This is great news for those who suffer from an autoimmune disease as well as those who are looking to reduce inflammation. Read on to find out more.

What Is the AIP?

The Autoimmune Protocol, or AIP for short, is a diet that can be used to reduce the inflammation and pain caused by autoimmune diseases like lupus, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and rheumatoid arthritis. Many people who have followed the AIP diet report improvements in the way they feel, as well as reductions in common symptoms of autoimmune disorders, such as fatigue and gut or joint pain.

If you choose to try paleo AIP, make sure to avoid nuts, eggs, and nightshade containing vegetables during the initial elimination phase. You can – and should – then reintroduce them in phase two. Phase one usually lasts for 3 weeks to a month but can be prolonged for up to 90 days.

When you’re ready to reintroduce foods, it’s important to do it one by one. Each “trigger” food should be slowly re-introduced, and if it causes no symptoms, you are free to add it back into your diet.
