Why aip diet checker matters
The Paleo Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is an elimination diet designed to reduce inflammation and heal the gut in people with autoimmune conditions. It removes grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds, and nightshades during the elimination phase.
- Elimination phase removes all potentially inflammatory foods
- Focus on nutrient-dense foods: organ meats, bone broth, vegetables
- Reintroduce foods one at a time after 30-90 days
- Sleep, stress management, and movement are part of the protocol
- Work with a practitioner experienced in autoimmune protocols

What to know about chard
Chard is a beet relative, and like beet and spinach it carries oxalate: it grades moderate here, well below spinach but high enough to matter if you form calcium oxalate kidney stones or follow a low oxalate diet. Everything else about it is unusually clean. It is low FODMAP across every subgroup, carries no histamine flag at all, and grades only mildly on salicylates and nickel.
Watch for
- Moderate oxalate.Not the extreme level spinach reaches, but enough that daily large servings are worth tracking if you have a stone history
- The green leaf blade holds far more oxalate than the pale stalk, so stems only is a genuinely lower oxalate way to eat it
- Mild salicylate and mild nickel content, dose dependent rather than a hard trigger for most people
- Boiling in plenty of water and pouring the water away takes a real share of the soluble oxalate with it.Sauteing and steaming do not
