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 plum
A fresh plum carries a heavy sorbitol load on top of moderate fructose, so it lands high FODMAP and can loosen the bowel long before you reach prune territory. On the histamine side plum is a liberator, which is why some people notice flushing or a headache from it. Dry it into a prune and the sorbitol concentrates, turning the same fruit into a well-known remedy for constipation.
Watch for
- High in sorbitol, a polyol with a laxative, water-drawing effect that is the main reason plums and prunes loosen the gut
- Moderate excess fructose adds to the FODMAP load, pushing a whole plum into the high range
- Histamine liberator, so it can set off flushing or headaches even though it is not a high-histamine food
- Salicylate content is only moderate, so plums are usually gentler there than citrus or berries
