AIP Nutrition & Lifestyle Management 4

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Seeds contain lectins and other compounds that may trigger immune reactions
