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 rosemary
Rosemary is a high-salicylate herb, so the woody sprigs tucked around a roast, stirred into focaccia dough or infused into oil can be a trigger for anyone sensitive to salicylates. Its piney, resinous punch means a little goes a long way in cooking, but that same intensity reflects a concentrated salicylate content, which is worth knowing if you are tracking a salicylate reaction.
Watch for
- High in salicylates, a common trigger if you also react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich Mediterranean herbs
- Its strong resinous flavour makes it easy to over-apply on roast meat, potatoes and breads, quietly raising the salicylate dose
- Often paired with other high-salicylate herbs like thyme and oregano, so a single roast can stack several salicylate sources at once
