Autoimmune protocol diet
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
The Autoimmune Protocol Diet or AIP diet, is also known as the Autoimmune Paleo diet; it is a restrictive diet and lifestyle program involving elimination of certain foods and drinks, followed by some reintroduction, plus lifestyle changes including sleep and stress management.[1][2] It was originally developed by Dr Sarah Ballantyne.[1][2][3]
Foods and drinks avoided[edit | edit source]
The AIP is more restrictive than a paleo diet, and involves avoiding many unhealthy foods, but also some foods typically considered healthy. These include:
- Processed foods
- Chemical additivies
- Alcohol
- Dairy
- Eggs
- Grains and pseudo-grains
- Legumes including soy
- Nuts and seeds
- Coffee
- Nightshades - including peppers, tomatoes and potatoes[1]
ME/CFS[edit | edit source]
No studies have been carried out to determine the effects of the Autoimmune Protocol on patients with ME or CFS, and they are not currently considered to be autoimmune diseases.
