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 relish
Relish is a broad category of chopped, pickled or cooked vegetables in a tangy vinegar base, and most jarred versions are built on onion, which makes them high FODMAP. Fructans are graded D, so relish is a frequent gut trigger, and because the vegetables are pickled or fermented it also carries moderate histamine and tyramine. If it is specifically cucumber based, see our pickle relish page for the detail.
Watch for
- High in fructans (grade D), usually from onion and other alliums in the mix, so most relishes are not low FODMAP
- Moderate histamine and tyramine because the vegetables are pickled or fermented, a factor if amines set you off
- Vinegar and salt heavy, which is why relish also scores poorly for the DASH and Mediterranean patterns
