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 whipped cream

Whipped cream is dairy cream that has been aerated and usually sweetened, so its triggers are the milk ones: dairy protein (casein and whey) plus moderate lactose. The airy texture and added sugar make it feel light, but a dessert-sized dollop or a swirl from an aerosol can still delivers enough milk protein and lactose to set off a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance. Canned versions also tend to add sugar and stabilizers like carrageenan on top of the cream.

Watch for

  • Contains dairy proteins (casein and whey) that drive milk allergy reactions, whipping in air does not reduce them
  • Moderate lactose, so a generous topping on dessert can be enough to bother a sensitive gut
  • Sweetened and often canned with added sugar and stabilizers, which is worth noting if you are watching either
