Autoimmune Protocol
The autoimmune protocol (AIP) is a healing diet designed to remove foods potentially causing immune reactivity, gut irritation and inflammation, and to add in nutrient dense and anti-inflammatory foods. The aim of the protocol is to heal from autoimmune disease, or to better manage symptoms of autoimmune disease.
After a period of time, many of the excluded foods, especially those that have nutritional merit despite also containing some (but not too much) potentially detrimental compounds, can be reintroduced. The AIP is not a life sentence, but rather a toolbox full of strategies for understanding how your body reacts to foods, lifestyle and your environment and methodologies for healing given your individual health challenges.
