I had several attempts to aip protocol but only managed to continue for three weeks .I dont eat gluten free grains and pseudo grains a lot and eat dairy once in a while.

Anyways im not sure whether i should start aip diet today on christmas?? I ate too much yesterday and i feel horibble,my face is swollen.We were going to cook turkey without any seasonings or stuffing(not because of aip but im not sure the spices on market are gluten-free) so that would not be a problem!

By the way, i dont want to eat meat for breakfast.Anyone has any ideas for how can i manage this diet for at least three months?

I did AIP a year ago for almost 4 months (starting reintroductions after 4 weeks). It was overwhelming at first.  I spent a lot of time reading websites and blogs about AIP for knowledge and support. I had to really plan ahead because it’s really hard to find meals and snacks on the go. The first week I was really hungry-I ended up spending a couple hours at Whole Foods reading labels and spent way too much money on specialty ingredients and snacks just for variety!

I cooked in bulk on my days off and carried a bag of AIP friendly snacks and meals with me when on the go. Planning got get easier as time went on but I did miss eating out and having to plan and prepare every meal every day without spontaneity.

It wasn’t easy but it was worth it for me to have a clearer understanding of how various foods made me feel. This is how I discovered my gluten sensitivity. I am in a much better place health wise than this time last year. 

I’ve included some links to things that helped me.

This website was a great starting point for me: Open Original Shared Link

these bars were a lifesaver: Open Original Shared Link

I received information about a support group that was starting this week for people trying the AIP diet again. (I didn’t sign up.) I don’t know if it’s still open.

I hope you get the answers you are looking for. Keep us updated.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
