Although this is not an AIP blog (and there are some AWESOME ones out there), AIP compliant cooking is something I have had to get my head around over the last 2 years for my hubby since his Crohn’s disease reached potentially surgical severity. It has been a brilliant success but it ain’t half complicated!
One of the types of food that need to be cut out (at least initially – some people are able to reintroduce seeds later on) are seeds and nightshades – and that means a lot of spices – are out. The Paleo Mom aka Dr Sarah Ballantyne explains all the details far better than I ever could.
You’d think that leaving bread or pasta or dairy or coffee behind would be the hardest part but actually spices make so many similar dishes much less “samey” and boredom is the downfall of many a “diet”. Without spices a curry or a tagine can become just another stew, an Italian sausage and a German sausage are indistinguishable, and a tomato-free chilli is in danger of slipping into tomato-free bolognese territory.
