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 tangerine
A tangerine is really a type of mandarin, and it inherits the same trigger profile rather than a milder one. It acts as a histamine liberator, runs high in salicylates and sits high in oxalate, so despite being an easygoing, low-drug-interaction citrus it can still bring on flushing, itching or stone-forming risk in people who are sensitive to those pathways.
Watch for
- Histamine liberator, capable of triggering flushing, hives or headaches without being high in histamine itself
- High in salicylates, so it belongs on the watch list for anyone with salicylate sensitivity
- High in oxalate, relevant for a low-oxalate diet or a history of calcium-oxalate stones
- Not a notable FODMAP concern, so digestive complaints usually point elsewhere
