Why paleo 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

Serving size, prep, and portion notes for passion fruit
Passion fruit is one of the very few fruits that comes back clean on almost every trigger column we track: histamine A, histamine liberator A, nickel A, glutamates A, sulfite A, tyramine A. That is why it turns up so often as a suggested swap, and it is worth seeing the numbers behind the reputation rather than taking it on trust. The fruit it usually replaces grades much harder: orange and mandarin are histamine liberator D with oxalate E, grapefruit is liberator D, salicylate D, oxalate E and FODMAP D, kiwi is oxalate E, pineapple is liberator D and salicylate D. Passion fruit carries two marks, a B for salicylates and a B for FODMAPs, and both are portion questions rather than red flags. Its oxalate column is unrated, which is a gap rather than a clearance. Note also that the vine's leaves are a separate item entirely: passionflower is a sedative herb, not this fruit.
Watch for
Salicylates grade B, so this is not a free food during a strict elimination phase. Published salicylate figures for passionfruit disagree with each other and some failsafe-style lists rank it well above our B, so if salicylates are your trigger, run it as a trial food rather than assuming it is safe. / FODMAPs grade B, which is a portion rule. Monash puts the low FODMAP serve at up to roughly 97g of pulp, about two fruits, with the FODMAP load climbing once you go past that. / Oxalates are unrated (U) in our data. There is no number here, so if you are on a low oxalate protocol for kidney stones, do not read the clean rest of the row as an oxalate all-clear. / The black seeds are eaten whole and are close to pure insoluble fibre. Half a dozen fruits spooned over a bowl is a real fibre load even though no chemical column flags. / Passionflower, the herbal extract sold for sleep and anxiety, is made from the leaves and stems of the vine rather than the fruit. It has its own sedative action and drug interactions, and a clean grade on the fruit tells you nothing about the supplement.
