Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) Diet - Protocol Guide
Overview
The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is a structured elimination and reintroduction framework designed to support gut barrier integrity and promote systemic wellness.
Key Principles
- Strict temporary elimination of potentially irritating foods
- Complete exclusion of nightshades (tomatoes, white potatoes, eggplants, bell peppers, paprika)
- Elimination of grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds, and coffee
- Focus on broths, wild seafood, and diverse non-nightshade vegetables
Food Guidelines
Recommended
- Glycine-rich homemade bone broth
- Grass-fed meats and organ meats (liver)
- Wild-caught seafood rich in Omega-3
- Non-nightshade vegetables (crucifers, squashes, leafy greens)
- Sweet potatoes
- Extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil
Limit
- High-fructose fruits (keep total fructose <20g per day)
- Raw honey (occasional minimal use)
Avoid
- Nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplants, chili, paprika)
- All grains and pseudo-grains
- All dairy products and eggs
- All legumes (including soy and peanuts)
- Nuts, seeds, cocoa, and coffee
- Alcohol and artificial additives
Practical Tips
- Prioritize 8+ hours of quality sleep: circadian rest modulates immune reactivity as profoundly as nutrition
- After 30-90 days, systematically reintroduce one eliminated food every 3-5 days to identify individual sensitivities
