Hi everyone! Many of you have asked how I’m able to eat green beans. Even though they are technically a legume, green beans are very low in phytohaemagglutinin (the lectin found in most legumes). This makes green beans much safer and more tolerable on the gut than other legumes. To learn more this, please read the article down below :) www.thepaleomom.com/green-beans-peas/

[@nicoleyoung7649]

I was diagnosed with Graves a yr ago and I've also been on aip for a yr...it has allowed me to live off my meds and has given me a lot of my life back

[@gracemaxwell2261]

I have what I call an “invisible illness” because I have so many different symptoms which is mainly my stomach as well as fatigue but no one has been able to diagnose anything. I started this diet today and I’ve been so up and down but this has given me so much hope. I can’t even explain it. I’ve gotten so used to feeling like crap all the time that I joke about it and I just have accepted it but this video opened my eyes to realize it doesn’t have to be this bad all the time. Thank you so much for this video.

[@chloflow]

Grace Maxwell i'm so sorry to hear that you are going through so much pain. thank you for your kind words, i'm so glad i could help 💕 i hope you get some answers soon

[@gracemaxwell2261]

Rosa Dela I felt really nervous and hopeless too but I’m only 5 days in and I can tell you I feel a huge difference. I really recommend aip to anyone suffering from these types of problems.

[@gracemaxwell2261]

Rosa Dela of course! And I get where you’re coming from with feeling alone. But I’m halfway through the completely restrictive time and let me tell you, there is such a huge difference. And I found some really solid meals that I really like and some snacks that are allowed and it’s so much easier now. The first time I went shopping was definitely the hardest because I looked at EVERYTHING and the ingredients and just felt so hopeless. But I found some really good staples and keep me going and keep me satisfied and it’s gotten a lot easier. I can’t even tell you how much easier it is from the first day to now. Don’t give up! When the cravings come, don’t acknowledge them, and they’ll pass. Find some really good meals that will be your staple, and fond some snacks that are allowed. Good luck!

[@colleent8336]

An invisible illness has nothing to do with symptoms. It means you look fine, but are sick. You don't look sick, so that makes it invisible.

Great video chlo! Everything you said about AIP is true. On my 5th week of strict restriction rn and it’s been so much harder emotionally than I expected, but I am starting to feel so much better!

[@desireacox4087]

Your story mirrors mine. I'm in the beginning stagges of learning how to transition into this new way of eating. Still trying to get my Dr to take my situation seriously. I live in Northern Canada and Majority of the Dr's here don't yet know anything about auto immune disease. Additionally I'm in an area where our grocery stores are extremely commercial foods. Even the supposed health foods on shelves are not really healthy. Still loaded with additives, corn, corn dervived and full of soy, canola and other no no list oils that don't belong in food. Closest naturopath Dr is 2 hours away from our community. So my food and supplements cost double amount. It's frustrating, however I'm working through it and won't stop till I get answers and results.

Your sweet outlook gave me hope!!! Thanks..

[@chloflow]

Michele Shine thank you 🥰

[@hehunches]

(5:39) 'I had a very very very hard time believing it was going to get better...' Thanks for saying. I'm 48 and I have faint hope but not much faith in my own ability to change, and less yet that anything will help. It seems to hard to prepare food, expensive and time consuming. I suppose it would be worth it? It's hopeful to find people who say they felt so terrible that they couldn't imagine otherwise, and now they are better, because I'm one who isn't better, yet. I dream it is possible, even if not for me, yet. I find it helpful that others are articulate about their journeys, more than I am able to be at present. You are hard to stop listening to. Intelligent, well spoken, and beautiful.

[@paigehenry235]

Hey there, I know this is late, but I just recently got diagnosed with Hashimoto’s like literally just started my medicine three days ago. My drs are just normal drs not specialists, so they never said anything about changing my diet. I’ve also had issues with digestion so I’m wondering if this diet would help me out, just nervous about cutting out the gluten, that’s my main concern, I don’t do much dairy or soy. Thank you for the videos.

[@GGora]

Have you tried to clean your make up too? That’s the first thing I did after living w hashi for over 15 years and ignoring it as it was really not that severe but it started getting severe last 1-2 years. Was very expensive too. Make up maybe the huge cause of autoimmune in women. I have hashimoto too and I had no idea about the make up link most of my life until recently.

[@lunarlyssnoelle]

Soooo were you doing low fodmaps on this for the SIBO? I got inspired and started this a few days back and I’m in more stomach pain than ever now because I was accidentally eating only really high fodmaps foods and I have a sensitive stomach/IBS. 😭

I was wondering if you have those antibodies attacking your thyroid so what's the secret to settling them down? Do you think they become dormant because you're not eating gluten?

Do you keep carbs low on this diet at all? Seems to be sweet potato is main source of carbs on this diet. I know alot of people do AIP with low carb/sugar.

[@chloflow]

Sam East Hi! Yes, I do personally try to keep my carbs low because I have found that to be the most successful for me. I have to keep my sugar low because of my SIBO, but in the traditional AIP diet, it isn’t concerned so much with carbs and sugar as much as it is reducing inflammation. Right now though, I would definitely say that I try to do a variation of AIP/Keto. Everyone is different though!

The way you feel is how I'm feeling. I am always bloated, low energy (no matter how much sleep I get), I have a hard time sleeping now which I never had issues with before. I am always tired, I have a hard time working out now and no motivation lately. I am at my heaviest weight ever, my asthma is bad and I have a hard time riding my horse because of of my asthma and how tired I am. I'm not enjoying what I use to love, my stomach hurts and I throw up from eating some foods. Not sure what foods are making me like this. I haven't seen a doctor for it but my mother in-law does this diet for her health and she sent me recipes and info on the AIP diet. I will be starting it soon but I have to admit that i am nervous because I know it will be hard at first. I will end up getting head aches and bad cravings for foods that I can't have but I also know the headaches and awful cravings will get better or go away. I need to do this to better my health.

[@chloflow]

Maria YES you can do it. it will make it all worth it, trust me

[@gastrogal5353]

Maria, by now I am hoping the AIP diet has helped you tremendously. If you continue with feeling sick after meals you may want to see an Endocrinologist. I was tested for Gastroparesis (GP) and found out that I did have it. That was causing me to get sick after meals, feel sick and bloated, and I just felt like I had the flu a lot. You may care to look it up first and ask for your mom’s opinion. Several things can cause this. Also, I asked my doctor how can this be missed for so long (I had most likely had it for five years), she told me everyone feels like they have the flu so they cut back on what they are eating, feel better and then start eating again slowly. So I have had this for 10 years now and I feel fine if I simply don’t each much at all. I also have Type 1 Diabetes and it makes it very difficult to control the blood sugars since the stomach has delayed emptying which makes taking insulin a guessing game. Sorry, I should have explained a couple of the definitions for it: Slow Emptying of the Stomach, Paralysis of the Stomach, and a few others. It is just something to be award of. High fats, high carbs, high fiber all add to the delay in emptying of the stomach. Now I choose green smoothies, broth and for a treat some sunflower seeds. The less gluten the better I feel. Sometimes I add oyster crackers to my broth but don’t feel so great later. I pray this is NOT part of your path in life, but to know sooner is better. Then, with time you may be able to eat a little more of your favorite things with time. Just last week I got the diagnosis of Hashimoto’s and as sad as it is, I am glad because they have been giving me meds for each of the symptoms (with the exception of losing my hair!). Just think of all those meds I most likely did NOT need to take just brewing in my stomach. So trust in your own gut, be your own best advocate and keep up the good fight. If you are feeling up to it I would love to know how you are doing these days. Wishing you a healthy, happy day, GastroGal

There is a video going around of this guy Jordan Peterson talking to Joe Rogan and saying he is on the Carnivore Diet because he's allergic to basically everything. I wonder if in fact, he has these conditions or something similar and is undiagnosed. Many think he is losing weight because it's Low Carb and therefor not driving insulin, but may his issue is the carbs were feeding bad bacteria. I'm here researching because I have weight but I'm skinny fat or something with normal limbs and a big gut. Something about this has always seemed off to me. Also, my mom had surgery for Hashimoto's so it makes me wonder.

[@chloflow]

Dan Falls Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video! It definitely sounds like that man could have SIBO, and potentially other undiagnosed conditions. Both food allergies and SIBO are pretty common with autoimmune diseases. I honestly think everyone should get tested for basic autoimmune diseases with their yearly physical.

Ira Lumbanbatu keep pushing for blood tests. don't let the doctors tell you that it's all in your head or caused by working too much. you know your body and you know when something is wrong. keep pushing and pushing. maybe if switch doctors if you're able to. you need to find someone on your side.

@@chloflow thank you for replaying... I am going to check it with my mom on July... Hopefully everything is okay

Can you share the info to your dietician?

[@kimlewis7057]

I was diagnosed with Thyroid Disease 10 years ago, only told that it was Hashimoto 5yrs ago... and to this ever day.. not one Dr has talked about a diet restrictions. I also have Interstitial Cystitis of the bladder, Fatty Liver, Chronic Pancreatitis, All are Autoimmune Disorders. I just wanted to cry when I listened to you talk about changing your diet.. why why why have I been in the dark for so long about it!! I am bedridden 97% of the time because of the debilitating pain that I live in & I thought that I had the Best Drs.. Houston, Texas. Today , because of your channel.. I have HOPE, for the 1st time in years, that maybe the diet could change my life. Could you please tell me one meal that I can eat , just to get me started, since I will have to start researching the diet you mentioned. I appreciate you & thanks for sharing your journey. Kim

[@chloflow]

WOW! You have been through so much. I'm so sorry to hear about everything you're going through, but I'm sure that making certain diet changes will help. I'm not a medical professional so I can't say what exactly is right for you, but I can definitely recommend the AIP diet. I think making soups is the easiest way to start. I like coconut and bone broth based Thai soups personally! Good luck with everything and thank you for your comment!

[@SingingSealRiana]

I've heard severeal times about the dificutlies to get a complient coconutmilk, where I live it is everywhere but I feel deaply sorry for everyone who has this struggle. It feels so terrible to walk through a market and see all those things you can't have but nothing you can . . . I'm currently sick and unable to cook or buy something so Im hungry while my parents cook and bake things I can't have. At the moment I eat shreded coconut cause that is the only thing I found that I just can eat . . .

[@mouseyman]

You can look up recipes to make coconut milk at home. It's very easy. 1 cup dried coconut flakes, 2 cups boiling water. Blend in a blender. Leave about 15 minutes. Squeeze through a cheesecloth. Put in the fridge.

[@Shopgirl2000]

Can you eat smoked salmon on aip?

[@chloflow]

Shopgirl2000 Yes! It just depends on the brand. Make sure to read the ingredient list carefully just in case there are any weird preservatives, oils, etc.

Please do a quick bun tutorial and brown tutorial. Bun & brow 😃

Do you count calories

[@chloflow]

Presence Tse I used to-not anymore!

[@presence3589]

@@chloflow are u still on it ? When did u start seeing a change and does it make maintaining a slim weight easier

[@chloflow]

Presence Tse I started noticing a change after about a week. For me it’s hard. I don’t think my weight will ever be steady because of the nature of my conditions. For example, I lost a total of 28 pounds, but I gained back about 14 in about 3 weeks. And then I lost a couple, gained more, etc. My weight is just something I’m always going to have trouble managing, but at least I know now what foods don’t make my body hurt.

[@astroblast9352]

@@chloflow I'm not quite AIP but close. However I have to track my calories daily or I don't get enough because of the foods don't have much. When I was close to AIP I was only getting 1200 to 1400 calories and I think that really hurt me hypothyroidism wise. Low calorie diets are very bad with hashimoto's. Now I make sure I get 2000 to 2200...I'm a Male though. Only difference is I eat eggs and oatmeal and nightshades. My TSH was 71 though when I was diagnosed so I had to take drastic steps to get better. I think the diet helped but was also taking medication at same time. It's a journey though. Still working on it.

[@Liz-bn8fw]

I don't normally eat much meat and this diet is really hard on me. I want my tofu and oatmeal back!

[@SingingSealRiana]

My main struggle with this diet was the amount of meat I need to eat and that I can't have nuts and legumes. I was not vegan before, but only ate meat rarely cause I did not need it and so I did not want to pay the price to the enviroment and lost life . . .I try to buy the parts that get throwen away otherwise, but happy with it I aint

[@chloflow]

Serena Odonata Yeah it can be difficult for sure! I think the best thing you can do is buy local, grass fed, or pasture raised/cage free animals and eat muscle meats as well as organ meats and bone broth. That way you’re getting the best quality and it’s not making an environmental impact. Mass produced meat isn’t high quality and isn’t as sustainable. I hope you start feeling better soon!

[@princeicio]

So you were on this diet for weight loss?

[@chloflow]

Nope! I was on this diet to help alleviate some of the symptoms of my autoimmune disease and health conditions. I have issues with gaining weight easily and having a hard time losing weight though and on this diet, I did lose a lot of weight.

[@princeicio]

@@chloflow What kind of symptoms? Sorry if I missed it, the video is a bit long.

[@chloflow]

Claire Redfield joint pain, fatigue, digestive issues, brain fog, inflammation, muscle weakness and pain, inability to lose weight, weight gain, dry skin, brittle hair,

[@AltJisatsu]

@@chloflow can u pls do a video of what you eat in a typical week? And is it normal now for us to have to buy our foods online? Like the coconut milk for example. I'm in Australia so this is going to be a huge inconvenience to me unless I can find a localish website? Also. I am highly addicted to coffee I can't quit. I've switched to the no sugar ice coffee now but I know it's going to kill me. Do u have something I can switch to that's easy and not water? Sorry I am so new to this and so overwhelmed I just want to eliminate everything but I'm stuck on the fucking coffee and I know it's gotta stop 😷🤒

Great video, but next time please leave off that extremely annoying distracting music. It isn't needed, as you have a pleasant speaking voice. .. that said .. thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have had a boatload of symptoms for decades that doctors have been no help with at all, i wil bring up hashimoto to my current doc this week and see if we have FINALLY found the answer i need.

[@AltJisatsu]

My partner is going to kill me . He is going to starve to death. Hahaha just kidding he's next to get a disease so this is good timing for both of us. I don't know what I have, I think it's leaky gut in it's beginning stages cuz I've never felt this shit before until this year. Thanks for the video this is going to change my life. And ruin it at the same time 😄

Ti Che hopefully it won't be as bad as you think! it's definitely manageable, i believe in you
