Your journey

Five steps, start to finish.

Most people who start AIP don't finish — not because the protocol doesn't work, but because there's too much to hold in your head. AIP Kitchen gives you structure at every stage.

1
Day one
Set up your kitchen

Create your account and tell us where you are. Set your start date, and add the ingredients already in your pantry. AIP Kitchen immediately shows you a phase-filtered recipe library — only food you can eat right now. No guesswork from day one.

Throughout elimination
Cook with confidence — every meal

Browse 6 curated elimination-phase recipes, or use the recipe creation tool to describe what you feel like eating. You'll get back a complete, phase-correct recipe — title, ingredients, quantities, method — built around what's already in your pantry. No label-checking, no second-guessing. Free users get 5 lifetime recipe creations; Pro gives you unlimited.

Building your baseline
Log symptoms and spot patterns

Each day, log how you're feeling across six dimensions — energy, digestion, skin, sleep, brain fog, and joints. Over weeks, trends emerge that are invisible in a notebook. When you reach reintroduction, this baseline is what tells you whether a food is working for you or not.

Reintroduction phase · Pro
Test foods methodically, one at a time

When you're ready to advance, the reintroduction tracker guides you through four stages — from lowest to highest reactivity. Introduce one food, monitor your symptoms for 3–7 days, then mark it tolerated or reacted. Foods you tolerate unlock automatically in your recipe library and recipe creation tool.

Maintenance phase · Pro
Your personalised, sustainable diet

Maintenance mode builds your entire recipe experience around your personal tolerance profile — the exact foods your body told you it can handle. Unlimited recipe creation. Meal planning. No universal avoid list — just yours. The result is a genuinely sustainable, nutrient-rich way of eating that belongs entirely to you.

What you track

Six dimensions, one picture.

AIP Kitchen tracks six symptom dimensions daily, each rated 1–5. Over time, the patterns that emerge show you exactly what your elimination is doing — and give you the data you need to navigate reintroduction with confidence.

Energy
How energised you feel day to day — often the first dimension to improve as inflammation reduces
Digestion
Bloating, comfort and regularity — closely connected to food choices and the state of your gut
Skin
Redness, flares and clarity — skin is a visible, reliable indicator of what's happening systemically
Sleep
Quality and depth of sleep — frequently disrupted by chronic inflammation and gut dysbiosis
Brain fog
Mental clarity and focus — a common but underreported symptom of ongoing autoimmune activity
Joints
Pain, stiffness and swelling — a key marker for many autoimmune and inflammatory conditions
The recipe creation tool

Describe it. We'll build it.

Tell the recipe creation tool what you feel like eating. It builds a fully compliant recipe around your pantry and your current phase — with a title, ingredients, quantities, and step-by-step method, ready to cook.

Every recipe it creates is automatically phase-correct. In Elimination, that means the full AIP avoid list. In Reintroduction, it incorporates the foods you've marked as tolerated. In Maintenance, only your personal reactions are excluded.

You can also paste in a recipe you've found online — the tool will adapt it to AIP. Or send a follow-up note to adjust what you've just been given: swap an ingredient, change the portion size, make it faster.

Free tier

Free access includes 5 lifetime recipe creations. Your remaining uses are always visible in the tool. Upgrading to Pro unlocks unlimited creation.

What you type

Describe what you feel like eating

"Something warming with sweet potato and coconut milk, ready in under 30 minutes" — or as vague as "a quick lunch using what I have in my pantry".

What you get back

A complete, ready-to-cook recipe

A titled recipe with a full ingredient list, quantities, step-by-step method, and a note on which ingredients you already have. Save it to your library with one tap.

Reintroduction phase · Pro

20 foods across 4 stages.

The reintroduction tracker guides you through foods in order of reactivity — from lowest to highest. Each food you mark tolerated unlocks automatically in your recipe library and creation tool.

  • Cocoa / chocolate
  • Egg whites

Only begin after Stage 1 complete
3
Higher reactivity
  • Nuts and nut products
  • Alcohol (in small amounts)
  • Nightshade spices
  • Grass-fed dairy
Only after symptom stability confirmed
4
Highest reactivity
  • Nightshade vegetables
  • Legumes
  • Whole eggs
  • Grains (gluten-free)
  • Gluten-containing grains
These are tested last for good reason
