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 hfcs
High-fructose corn syrup is a top FODMAP trigger precisely because it is everywhere: soda, sweetened drinks, sauces, cereals, bread and processed snacks. It carries more fructose than glucose, so it delivers excess fructose in exactly the foods where you are least likely to notice it. For anyone with fructose malabsorption or IBS, HFCS is often the hidden reason a packaged food causes bloating and diarrhoea.
Watch for
- High in excess fructose and rated a top overall FODMAP source, so it triggers bloating, gas and diarrhoea in fructose malabsorbers
- Hidden across processed foods and drinks, which makes accidental doses easy and hard to trace back to the culprit
- A poor fit for SIBO, DASH and Mediterranean eating, and pro-inflammatory as a refined added sugar
