Viktoria of the (vegan-health-aip.weebly) website outlines some recommendations suggested for gradual implementation – and adapted them to “Vegan AIP” – even though Sara Ballantyne recommends just diving in since that’s the most effective way to see results.
1. Eliminate gut-irritating foods from your diet.
Firstly all gluten sources. Ballantyne (2013) recommends trying to eliminate eating bread instead of replacing it with gluten-free alternatives, like rice, potato, and sorghum-based gluten-free bread.
2. Next, eliminate grains (like rice) and pseudo-grains.
3. After that — cut out all kinds of legumes.
4. In the next step — avoid nightshades altogether.
Also, cut out any foods that contain added sugars, refined sugars, and high-fructose-content sugars.
5. After that — cut out nuts and seeds, and finally, cut out seed-based spices.
6. At last — eliminate processed products that contain additives (i.e., guar gum or chewing gum sweetened with xylitol, anthem gum, etc.)
