I was on the AIP diet for a while, quite a long time ago. It wasn't the end-all solution for me that others proclaimed it was, but it was nice to have something new to try.

For what it's worth, I had a similar experience trying a strict AIP diet for a few months - some improvements in my autoimmune symptoms (some psorasis I've had since childhood), but nothing definitive. When I tried a strict carnviore diet, basically cutting out the vegetable and fruits allowed on AIP, my existing patches of psoriasis disappeared over a few weeks, and no new ones appeared.

Since then I've gone on and off of strict carnivore, but anytime I reintroduce vegetables and/or some other carb sources, I'll start to see new patches of psoriasis pop back up within a 2 or 3 weeks usually. So I usually balance on that line now, returning to carnivore if my symptoms start to bother me too much.

I’ve heard this a few times.

I’ve tried all meat before and I get crazy weak. If I recall my pain level dropped a lot though. Maybe because not eating enough meat.

My wife gets crazy energetic, all her pain goes away and she’s way happier.
