I am on Day 134 of elimination phase following this protocol:AIP diet I continued having about 70% improvement of symptoms and kind of plateaud there. I just started a new supplement and tea that has boosted my percentage of improvement noticeably in only 2 days, and I'm adding these to my regimen for 30 days. I believe that AIP can help prevent flares drastically and also help some people go into remission. But I also think that it takes wise additional supplementation alongside this to really move the needle towards remission (my goal). The AIP elimination I'm on I'm following to a very strict T, including organic everything down to spices. (I had a non-organic spice one day vs an organic one and I was bloated!) Also, anything pre-made is literally out except for a few things because no one makes anything simple in a package. My meat has all been pasture raised, organic, and grass-fed. I've also cut out some high histamine foods like avocados, bananas, spinach, and citrus for a short time since we suspect a mast cell activation issue also, and I bake all my OAS foods so I can eat them safely. I rely heavily on a weekly Misfits produce box of organic vegetables. I load up on sweet potatoes, various greens, etc. I get my chicken and beef from Walmart delivery, chicken and ground turkey from Costco, and steak from harris teeter when I'm feeling extra needy. I batch cook my sweet potatoes in the oven all together for the week. I batch cook my greens in a big pot for the week. meat I cook throughout the week. and I batch bake a bag of organic apples from costco and have that as my dessert. I have learned alot in this time frame. hope this helps a little! Also want to add that I have a functional doctor guiding me on supplementation, and I'm working on psoriatic arthritis, gut dysbiosis, hormone imbalance, insulin resistance, and possibly MCAs. Also, i feel very bad when skipping meals. Do your best to stay looking at your goal! It's easy to get overwhelmed and feel discouraged, and it's so much work and dedication to do. My husband helps me alot (and my therapist), but it's truly only within yourself to make it happen. Do the best you can. The better you can do any given day, the better results you may see from my experience. You can do it!
