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

Ingredient notes

What to know about chili garlic sauce

Chili garlic sauce is loaded with fresh garlic, which makes it very high in fructans, one of the FODMAPs most likely to cause bloating and gas. The chili adds a moderate nightshade note, but the garlic is the real story here: this is a garlic-forward condiment, more garlic-driven than sriracha, so even a spoonful can set off IBS symptoms in FODMAP-sensitive people.

Watch for

  • Very high in fructans from the garlic, a top FODMAP for bloating, cramping and gas
  • Rated poor for SIBO because that garlic ferments readily in the gut
  • Moderate nightshade from the chili, plus some fermentation-related histamine, so reactions can stack
