Whether you're paleo, whole30, or AIP, this tuna salad will be perfect for you. When I first started eating healthier, canned fish was my saving grace. I mean, I was hesitant about it at first, but once I discovered how easy and satiating it was, I was on board.

Many vegetables are allowed on the autoimmune diet. Those include leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, and squashes. They are low in calories and high in nutrients, which makes them the perfect choice for this diet. Carrots, celery, and onions can also be used when following the autoimmune diet.

Can you eat tuna on a paleo or keto diet? Yes, tuna is both paleo- and keto-friendly. Because it contains essentially zero carbohydrates, it fits easily into any high-protein diet. However, if you're on a keto diet, you may want to choose oil-packed tuna because it's higher in fat.

Examples of foods you can eat while on the AIP diet include: Vegetables that aren't nightshade vegetables like cucumbers, spinach, sweet potatoes and zucchini. Fresh fruits like apples, oranges, mangos, strawberries, bananas and blueberries.

An AIP diet avoids all processed foods, alcohol, additives, refined sugars, coffee, tea, oils, and certain medications. In the elimination phase, a person will also avoid foods such as grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, and nightshade vegetables, but they may reintroduce these later.

Most people have no need to worry about this, but anyone following the autoimmune protocol should also know that sweet potatoes are completely OK because they're botanically unrelated to white potatoes (which are out on the autoimmune protocol because they're nightshades).

Pickles: Probiotic foods are an essential part of Paleo and the AIP, but most pickles you buy in a jar off the shelf are simply brined, not fermented (meaning they don't have any probiotics). Cucumbers are what everyone thinks of when they hear the word “pickles”, but you can pickle just about anything.

Yes. As long as it was naturally cured and does not include any artificial ingredients or spices, it is suitable. The ideal place to find AIP bacon is at a health food store - Whole Foods or your local health food store will have what you are looking for!

Can you eat olives on an AIP diet? ›

AIP Snack Ideas

1. Olives – black, green, or kalamata are fine. Just make sure not to get the green ones with pimentos, as pimentos are not AIP-compliant (they're a nightshade). Also look for cans or jars of olives that are just olives, salt, and water.

In Core AIP, all grains, grain-like seeds, and gluten are eliminated including oats, wheat, chia, quinoa and rice.

The short answer is that, yes, mayonnaise can be Paleo – but there is more to it than just running out to your local grocery store and picking up a container of your favorite go-to brand. The mayonnaise you find on the shelf will generally include ingredients that are not compliant, such as soybean oil.

The bottom line

Choosing pole-and-line-caught light skipjack tuna is your best choice for a low mercury and sustainable option. White albacore tuna is best if you're looking for more protein and omega-3 fats with every bite.

(3) Garlic

Unfortunately, the enhancement of immune response is counterproductive in people with autoimmune disease such as lupus, because their immune system is already overactive. As a result, people with lupus and lupus-like signs should avoid cooking with garlic and adding it to food.

As if wasn't already super nutritious and low in calories, garlic also offers anti-inflammatory benefits. Garlic contains diallyl disulfide an anti-inflammatory compound that limits the effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines. If you have sore and inflamed joints or muscles, you can rub them with garlic oil.

First, a list of AIP herbs and spices you probably already know and don't need much explanation. You can still use basil, bay leaves, chives, cilantro/coriander leaves, cinnamon, cloves, dill weed, garlic, ginger, onion powder, parsley, mints, marjoram, rosemary, sage, thyme, and vanilla bean.

Garlic and onions can add flavor to food, but they contain fructans, an oligosaccharide, which can be difficult for your intestines to break down. This may cause gas. Painful gas and cramping can result from raw garlic and onions. Even cooked versions of these foods can be triggers for some people with IBS.
