  1. During AIP reintroduction, a client tests nightshades and notices joint stiffness 48 hours later. How should this be interpreted?

    Answer: The delayed reaction suggests nightshades are a trigger and should be removed

    Immune-mediated reactions can be delayed 24–72 hours, so any symptom within this window is attributed to the tested food.

  2. Which reintroduction stage in the standard AIP protocol is considered the least reactive and introduced first?

    Answer: Legumes with edible pods (e.g., green beans)

    Legumes with edible pods like green beans are classified in the least reactive Stage 1 of structured AIP reintroduction.

  3. A client successfully reintroduces egg yolks but reacts to egg whites. What does this indicate?

    Answer: Egg whites and yolks have different proteins and can trigger separate reactions

    Egg whites contain different proteins (lysozyme, albumin) than yolks and can be independently reactive.

  4. What is the correct reintroduction protocol for testing a new food?

    Answer: Consume the food in a small amount, then a larger portion later the same day, then observe for 72 hours

    The standard protocol is small then larger dose on day one, followed by 72 hours of symptom monitoring before testing another food.

  5. Why are seed-based spices excluded during the AIP elimination phase?

    Answer: Seeds contain lectins and other compounds that may trigger immune reactions

    Seed-based spices like cumin and coriander contain lectins and other antinutrients excluded during AIP elimination.

  6. A client asks if they can use coconut aminos as a soy sauce substitute on AIP. What is the correct answer?

    Answer: Yes, coconut aminos are AIP-compliant

    Coconut aminos are derived from coconut sap, are soy-free, and are permitted during AIP elimination.

  7. How does the AIP protocol address alcohol consumption?

    Answer: All alcohol is excluded during the elimination phase

    All alcohol is eliminated during the AIP elimination phase as it increases intestinal permeability and disrupts immune function.
