AIP Gyro Wrap Sandwich Recipe (Autoimmune Paleo)

[@kimberlyalexander7639]

Again, my antibody levels are high, higher this time. My doctor has been encouraging me to get on a Paleo diet (rare doctor, right?). I know I have to first do AIP, and I'm struggling to get started. I started watching your videos last night on KZbin, and they are really encouraging me. I just watched your AIP gyro wrap recipe video, and it literally made me cry. Why? I am so very overwhelmed with the thought of changing my diet, and you make it so easy. It gives me hope that I can do this! Thank you!

[@darkymakenzy]

Heyy hope you’re doing well. My doctor encouraged me to do AIP cuz of my stomach/ digestive system issues & I’ve been struggling to get started I’m wondering if you started how is it going? Any tips?

Everyone with autoimmune disease needs to see this channel

[@MicheleSpring]

aw, thanks so much for saying that!

[@VapingBee]

Ho. Ly. Cow! My husband made this for me as my "Christmastime special food," and I am in shock. It's a legit gyro with legit cucumber sauce! IT'S SO GOOD! With most AIP food, I end up thinking, "meh. It's close enough," or it triggers my gag reflex because it's god awful. This is amazing. Seriously. Amazing! Tomorrow, he's making your orange chocolate truffles, too. I was sad, because I wasn't allowed to celebrate ANY holidays as a kid, thanks to my nutty Jehovah's Witness parents, and now, thanks to MS, I couldn't eat my favorite Christmas junk food. I am no longer sad. I have gyros that taste exactly like the gyros that would "kill" me, BUT THEY WON'T KILL ME! You have no idea how happy you have made this food-driven fatty! Happy holidays!

[@MicheleSpring]

Aw, this made me so happy to read! I'm so glad they were able to bring you some happiness and I hope you enjoy the truffles too :-)

I don't know why you don't have more subscribers...your videos are so helpful!!!!

[@MicheleSpring]

Aw, thanks. :-)

[@theresag1969]

I had no idea, I didn't know this diet existed. Maybe her channel should start with Autoimmune: AIP .... because I searched autoimmune first.

[@deendrew36]

1969Vanessa G I stumbled upon Michele by accident, too. I am so glad I did! Such great content!

[@captainMAE]

I finally made it! GAME CHANGER! Absolutely delicious! I added garlic and rosemary to the “naan” and it came out perfectly. Even if I didn’t have the naan, putting it in a lettuce wrap would be just as good

[@MicheleSpring]

whoohoo! So glad you like it! Sounds delicious with the garlic and rosemary too, yum :-)

[@AnalisaFreitas]

Ate this yesterday and today after bookmarking this recipe for some time, and I can attest that they are so satisfying! I made the tzatziki sauce with AIP vegan mayo as a base (basically it used coconut butter instead of cream) and then eyeballed all the other ingredients, (subbed ACV for lemon, left out onion & garlic powder [lupus, low fodmap]), and added shredded Persian cucumber - SO GOOD! It tasted so tangy & yogurt-y, it was unbelievable! The extra meat we've been adding to salad and spaghetti squash with no-mato sauce. It's been a pretty good food week 🤗

[@MicheleSpring]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@lindsaymarie4416]

I'm just loving your videos! I was told last week to go aip and I've been pulling my hair out with what the heck I can even eat. These recipes actually make food look yummy!

[@MicheleSpring]

Don't pull your hair out, haha! (chances are you probably are losing it anyway, right?) Glad I can be of help! 💕

[@bhumas9746]

[@ekgraham1]

Thank you for this recipe. I just found your channel and am very excited. I made this today and it is delicious. The house smells like a Greek restaurant. Thanks again.

[@CajunDove]

I love how you make cooking seem simple.

[@MicheleSpring]

Aw, thanks so much!

[@PomegranateStaindGrn]

So fantastic! Just finished eating and had to come tell you right away how much we enjoyed it! I’d been waiting to try it since you posted this video and it’s worth it. Had to create a substitute for the tzatziki from creamed cauliflower because of my allergy to all things tropical but it was an acceptable sub (will probably add some avocado to get a more creamy flavor next time). You know you’re living AIP when you don’t just have to make different food choices but also have to make the actual ingredients to make a meal! lol 😂

[@MicheleSpring]

I'm so glad you liked it! And what a great idea to use creamed cauliflower as a sub - I don't think I'd ever have thought of it, but that's genius!

[@PomegranateStaindGrn]

Michele Spring, you know what they say..."necessity is the mother of invention" (or at least problem solving) lol. Though I’d much rather be able to tolerate coconut so I could have ready made creams and flours etc.

[@pci9327]

[@AM-ru5lh]

Michelle this is genius!!! I’m going to make this and do a quick pickle on the red onions... that knocks the funk off a bit. And maybe toss the greens with greek dressing 🤤

[@MicheleSpring]

Ooh, smart idea to pickle the onions! I’ll have to do that next time.

[@AM-ru5lh]

Michele Spring 🙏🏼pickled onions are addictive!

[@deendrew36]

Michele Spring have you heard of the book and blog NoCrumbs? It is a Whole30 endorsed book...the author (her name escapes me) has this simple little recipe for what she calls “counter onions”. Simple marinated red onions that she leaves in the counter, hence the name. So yummy with so many things. I feel like they would go great with this.

[@AdairaWellness]

I really enjoy your videos!! I have hashimotos and I’ve been on the AIP diet for 5 weeks now, can’t wait to try this. Did the AIP diet help with all of your symptoms ?

[@MicheleSpring]

Yes, but it did take a while the first time I did it to fully clear everything up (like 3 months, and then it took 9 months to fully reintroduce everything to Paleo), and I did have SIBO as well and had to do an antimicrobial from my functional medicine practitioner to get rid of that. I did it again last spring to clear up a huge flare I had after going off of Paleo for a while and it took 6 weeks for all of my symptoms to subside.

[@AdairaWellness]

That’s awesome I’m glad your feeling better :) I also have sibo, hpylori, yeast and other gut infections, I’m taking herbs and seeing a functional doctor. It’s week 5 and I’m starting to feel like myself again! Seriously has helped a lot even tho it can be very difficult at times.

[@MicheleSpring]

@@AdairaWellness that's great!

[@katrienvh4289]

Hi Michele, I made the flat bread, is it possible that the coconutmilk I used was to 'rich" ? The wrap was very nice mmmm , but felt greasy en looked more like a crep then a flatbread. I used 80 % coconut % 20 % water. Perhaps it would be better if I dilute the coconutmilk and make a double batch?

[@brunoseventyfour]

I tryed them and.... Wow... So good. But.... The meat Is too dry. Any idea? I don't find coconut cream here. I can make cream with coconut milk? Thanks

[@idania7796]

I try it, we are a family of 5, all my family love it❣️ now I did two of them, one I froze it and other one, was gone 👏🏻👍🏻

[@hannahjones4188]

This looks delicious! I’m in the uk and confused about the names of some ingredients, is coconut cream the same as coconut concentrate?

[@MicheleSpring]

Hey Hannah - So no, coconut concentrate is typically the same thing as coconut butter - a mostly solid, hard mixture. Coconut cream is the really thick part of coconut milk - if you've ever put a can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight you might notice that it separates into a solid part at the top and the water. The solid part is the cream. You can just use this (if it separates for you, sometimes it doesn't, which is a pain!!) or you can find hopefully find cans of just the cream. Unfortunately I'm not sure of any UK sources or else I'd tell you of one!

[@hannahjones4188]

Ok, thank you!

[@celwyn7067]

the only cassava flour I can get here in the UK is much coarser and yellowy I can see the fibers ; what is your flour called? or how would I adjust the recipe to use my flour it seems to soak up all the liquid

[@radiola3454]

Thank you

[@oliviazawada1496]

Is there any alternative to coconut it’s a flavour I really can’t tolerate

[@flametoflight21]

Hello Michele, I’ve been researching online and finding conflicting information in regards to whether or not dill is AIP compliant. Confused 😣lol

[@MicheleSpring]

Huh, I've never heard of it NOT being compliant! I've always told people to include it and have never heard of anyone having issues with it, but I mean, like with everything, if you experience any sort of symptoms with eating it, don't include it... But I think it's fair game

[@bluesky7126]

This looks amazing! I love lamb, but my husband doesn’t. I know it will change the flavor, but can I replace the lamb with something else? Also can you taste the lamb on this dish?

[@MicheleSpring]

Eh, you can kind of taste it, but it's not very "lamby" as I don't really like lamb much either and I love this. However, you can replace the lamb with more ground beef if you'd rather.

[@bluesky7126]

@@MicheleSpring Great!! Thank you very much!!!

[@Shopgirl2000]

Is this nice with only beef mince too? Why did you choose to do half lamb/half beef?

[@MicheleSpring]

You can definitely do just beef. I've traditionally had lamb gyros so I wanted to make them with lamb, but I'm also not a big lamb fan so that's why I mixed in the beef. But if you don't like or want lamb you can definitely just use beef!

[@alexanderweixler4403]

@MicheleSpring What can I substitute for the coconut? I'm highly allergic to coconut. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

[@MicheleSpring]

hmm, I'm assuming you're referring to the coconut cream for the Tzatziki sauce - and still AIP-compliant? My suggestion isn't ideal as it takes a while (not a lot of work, just some planning ahead), but it would be to make tigernut milk and then make the "coconut parfaits" from my post here: thrivingonpaleo.com/aip-breakfast-pumpkin-pie-coconut-parfait/ but replace the coconut milk with the tigernut milk and ONLY use 1 tsp of gelatin - and none of the other spices or add-ins I mention in that particular recipe. Just the tigernut milk and a teaspoon of gelatin. That'll give you a "yogurt"-like consistency that you can then use for the sauce. As for the wrap bread, just use tigernut milk instead of coconut milk in those. I know it's not ideal - there really aren't a ton of substitutions for coconut milk products on AIP unfortunately.

[@leeann0902]

what is coconut cream and where can I get it? TIA

[@MicheleSpring]

It's a thicker version of coconut milk. If you refrigerate a can of coconut milk it's what rises to the top, the solid part. But you can also buy cans of just the cream that doesn't have so much of the liquid part as well. I typically buy mine off of Amazon but I believe Trader Joe's has a guar gum-free version as well. You just need to read the labels to make sure it's guar gum-free. Brands change often so I am hesitant to give any but Arroy-D usually makes theirs guar gum-free.

[@leeann0902]

@@MicheleSpring thanks, it was coconut cream and I had it in the fridge but it never solidified. I will try another brand. Really love all your tips and tricks! Ty so much.

[@theperfectfit00]

I would imagine you would use coconut yogurt for the sauce like the original tzatziki. Yogurt has that tang and the cream is plain.

[@MicheleSpring]

Oh you definitely could - I just give cream as the baseline because most people don't want to take the time to make coconut yogurt and most store-bought coconut yogurts aren't AIP-compliant, so it's just an easier option to have on hand. But if you have some AIP-compliant yogurt definitely use it!

[@Shopgirl2000]

Does the sauce taste really coconutty?

[@MicheleSpring]

I don't think it does - there's enough other stuff to take away the coconutty taste.
