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 sesame dressing

Sesame dressing is a composite trigger: the soy sauce base brings free glutamate and usually gluten, the sesame brings the sesame allergen, and the rice vinegar or mirin can add a little sulfite and tyramine. So a salad that reads as healthy can stack several sensitivities into one drizzle, which is why reactions are common and hard to pin on a single food.

Watch for

  • High in free glutamate from the soy sauce, an MSG-like trigger for glutamate-sensitive people
  • Usually contains gluten, because most soy sauce is brewed with wheat (tamari is the gluten-free exception)
  • Contains sesame, one of the nine major labeled allergens
  • Small amounts of sulfite and tyramine from the vinegar and fermented soy can add up for the very sensitive
