Autoimmune meal plan

This plan has two phases:

1.The first phase is called the elimination phase and it involves the removal of foods
and medications believed to cause inflammation in the gut, imbalances between levels
of good and bad bacteria in the gut, or an immune response (leaky gut). During this
phase, you are to avoid foods such as grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, nightshade
vegetables, eggs, wheat soy, sugar and dairy are completely avoided,certain
medications, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) should also be
avoided.Eg. of NSAIDs include ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, and high dose aspirin.

This phase encourages you to consume fresh, nutrient-dense foods. It also

emphasizes the improvement of lifestyle factors, such as stress,
sleep,meditation(prayer and fasting), consuming adequate amounts of water, getting
enough sunlight and physical activity This phase of the diet varies, as it’s typically
maintained until a person feels better or symptoms have dissipated. On average, most
people maintain this phase for 30–90 days, but some may notice improvements as early
as within the first 3 weeks

2.Phase two is the reintroduction phase. During this phase, the avoided foods are
gradually reintroduced into the diet, one at a time, based on the person’s tolerance.The
goal of this phase is to identify which foods contribute to a person’s symptoms and
reintroduce all foods that don’t cause any symptoms while continuing to avoid those that
do. This allows for the widest dietary variety a person can tolerate.During this phase,
foods should be reintroduced one at a time, allowing for a period of 5–7 days before
reintroducing a different food. This allows a person enough time to notice if any of their
symptoms reappear before continuing the reintroduction process
