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

Ingredient notes

What to know about white or navy beans

White and navy beans are a classic gut trigger for one clear reason: they are high in galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), the fermentable fibre that makes beans famously gassy. They also carry high oxalate, high nickel and high salicylates, and rate poorly for SIBO, so a bowl of baked or navy beans can hit several sensitivities at once even though the bean itself is nutritious and anti-inflammatory.

Watch for

  • High in GOS, the main reason beans cause gas, bloating and cramping in sensitive guts
  • Poor for SIBO, so the fermentable carbohydrates can feed bacterial overgrowth and worsen symptoms
  • High in oxalate, worth limiting if you form kidney stones
  • High in nickel, relevant if you have systemic nickel allergy
