Week 14 on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP): What to eat to support your autoimmune disease! {What I ate}

Having an autoimmune disease is not fun. And feeling like there is nothing you can do about it is even worse. I was just at that point when I heard about the Autoimmune Protocol. It is an elimination diet designed to help you determine what foods may be contributing to your condition. The premise is to limit inflammatory foods. When your body begins healing, you can try reintroducing foods gradually to see what may have been attributing to your pain. 

I have been documenting what I have been eating on the AIP diet for 14 weeks now in an effort to encourage anyone out there that has an autoimmune and wants to attempt to heal through dietary changes. It can seem like an insurmountable task, but the rewards could possibly outweigh the sacrifice!

I finally finished my SIBO supplement with black walnut in it. Hopefully, I'll see an end to the swollen lymph node and the elbow and wrist pain. The end of this week brings me to my 100th day on the AIP elimination phase. Soon I will be sharing how my reintros go. I'm really missing pepper. It is on phase 1 of reintroductions, so I think it will be the first thing I attempt!
