And will bed-making help with all types of autoimmune diseases? The short answer is, "Yes!" Read on to find out why it helps.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Autoimmune diseases occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, leading to inflammation and damage to organs and tissues. With over 80 different types of autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's, lupus, and multiple sclerosis, these diseases can affect people of all ages and backgrounds. Living with an autoimmune disease can present various challenges in daily life. Symptoms such as fatigue, pain, and inflammation can impact one's ability to carry out routine tasks and lead to a decreased quality of life. Managing these conditions often requires a combination of medication, lifestyle adjustments, and self-care strategies.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM0K_GFhZt9q9M9VCtdanApyLZ4twkeWyCRb8kJNlyzKvYnOcUR0m_tqa4zMu3tcqz8z_g1wx52v3HXFIvi4t8mUIoJVcrfdZjFk9oan_cLhFIdCzgOp1JykwIPxo25jDGta32gvoQtquEyVMOpKscfK3dYYyCAXI7rmQfsBxW4c3jgRuwU_WuAqB-Z5RI/s1035/bedroom-5772286_1280.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Made bed" border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1035" height="528" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM0K_GFhZt9q9M9VCtdanApyLZ4twkeWyCRb8kJNlyzKvYnOcUR0m_tqa4zMu3tcqz8z_g1wx52v3HXFIvi4t8mUIoJVcrfdZjFk9oan_cLhFIdCzgOp1JykwIPxo25jDGta32gvoQtquEyVMOpKscfK3dYYyCAXI7rmQfsBxW4c3jgRuwU_WuAqB-Z5RI/w640-h528/bedroom-5772286_1280.jpg" title="Make your Bed!

Lack of quality sleep can trigger inflammatory responses in the body, exacerbate symptoms, and contribute to disease progression. Prioritizing good sleep hygiene is essential for managing autoimmune conditions.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Quality sleep plays a crucial role in managing autoimmune disease symptoms. Adequate rest helps support the immune system, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall well-being. Establishing a consistent sleep routine and creating a restful sleep environment are important steps in improving symptom management.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Making your bed each day can contribute to creating a calming and organized sleeping environment. A tidy bed can signal to your brain that it's time to wind down and promote a sense of tranquility, which is beneficial for individuals managing autoimmune conditions.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The simple act of making your bed can have therapeutic effects on stress levels. Engaging in this routine can instill a sense of accomplishment, order, and control, which may help reduce stress and anxiety levels. Lowering stress is crucial for managing autoimmune conditions as stress can exacerbate symptoms. The act of making your bed and maintaining an organized sleeping space can have psychological benefits. Order and organization in your surroundings can provide a sense of stability, control, and comfort, all of which are important for mental health and overall well-being. Embracing a tidy sleeping environment can support individuals in coping with the challenges of autoimmune diseases.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYFe1nIIV_dfr7F0op-5bEGrL7Mz8IucpkTUFhBfE8BpiBDgLUvbS3IGHCJegjw0VZfORomKIccCWJxsZeLtwWXGspkxmZv8mZruWIRoSJ6LCe8g9GAQM1M3D609O18Nk3qpo4p-LR2XsaOVDpZB0AUIuSaaPmWKRajMF-QVa5e5L2dJ6O1vsTWjU-YkMm/s1160/bedroom-3778695_1280.jpg"><img alt="Why make my bed?" border="0" data-original-height="781" data-original-width="1160" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYFe1nIIV_dfr7F0op-5bEGrL7Mz8IucpkTUFhBfE8BpiBDgLUvbS3IGHCJegjw0VZfORomKIccCWJxsZeLtwWXGspkxmZv8mZruWIRoSJ6LCe8g9GAQM1M3D609O18Nk3qpo4p-LR2XsaOVDpZB0AUIuSaaPmWKRajMF-QVa5e5L2dJ6O1vsTWjU-YkMm/w640-h430/bedroom-3778695_1280.jpg" title="Make your Bed!

Trying to think of things to keep us occupied at home, I began a list of things we could be doing. I started by looking for productive ways to spend the hours stretched before us. Of course, there was schoolwork and ministry work to keep up on, but there was still so much time leftover, and the weather wasn't exactly comfortable for being outside in the beginning of quarantine. So, we did puzzles, watched zoo cams, made movies, took pictures dressed up like famous paintings, did scavenger hunts, learned to play whist, bundled up for hikes, gardened, made playlists, and listened to inspirational talks. One of those talks I listened to was the Make your Bed Speech.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KgzLzbd-zT4" width="320" youtube-src-id="KgzLzbd-zT4"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With everyone in the house together, every minute of the day. I really needed one clean, inviting space that was my own. And my bedroom became that space. Once I began making my bed, I found that walking into the room automatically relieved tension and stress. I was never a bed maker before COVID, but now I'm sold. I make my bed every day now. It is wonderful to slip into smooth feeling sheets every night.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Practical Tips for Establishing a Bed-Making Routine</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Let's face it, convincing yourself to make your bed when you could just as easily leave it messy can be a challenge. So here are some tips to get you on your way!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Decide at what part of your day you can devote a few minutes to making your bed. </li><li>When it comes to bed-making, efficiency is key. Start by straightening out your sheets and fluffing your pillows. </li><li>Use the "hospital or military corners" technique for a crisp look. Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect, just enough to create a sense of order.</li><li>Think of it as a self-care ritual. </li><li>Take a moment to appreciate the act of creating a tidy space for yourself. It sets a positive tone for the day ahead.</li></ol></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QPfUjrfFoq0" width="320" youtube-src-id="QPfUjrfFoq0"></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the world of autoimmune diseases where so much can feel out of control, making your bed is a small task that can give you a sense of accomplishment. It's a reminder that you have the power to create order in your immediate environment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">While it may seem like a simple and even unnecessary act, studies have shown that maintaining a clean and organized space can positively affect overall health, including autoimmune conditions. Making your bed could be a small yet impactful step in managing your health. Making your bed may seem like a mundane task, but it can offer therapeutic benefits for those managing autoimmune conditions. Incorporating this simple habit into your daily routine can promote a sense of control and well-being.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLNcHtQWIeSDbPJjpG3vXnrYZvueOqvhdSjmsAgBLGBESB_gU5D5vZZTk4IOkG19LVUvTkcM5w0NkfJwBDZxm95kAgPZsiUH1ghw0wq1yJZq9d9n2HximGfg-YxoTdrSViv4Aj7XAYYnl6GvpuBG1jg9uyzU00xDzqqlDNmoVhtUDuuP3_AfIj5QTSoLPs/s4027/055.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="simple task of making the bed" border="0" data-original-height="4027" data-original-width="2840" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLNcHtQWIeSDbPJjpG3vXnrYZvueOqvhdSjmsAgBLGBESB_gU5D5vZZTk4IOkG19LVUvTkcM5w0NkfJwBDZxm95kAgPZsiUH1ghw0wq1yJZq9d9n2HximGfg-YxoTdrSViv4Aj7XAYYnl6GvpuBG1jg9uyzU00xDzqqlDNmoVhtUDuuP3_AfIj5QTSoLPs/w453-h640/055.JPG" title="Make your Bed!

Honestly after all of this time, I'd call it a commitment, process or lifestyle instead of a diet. You really need to be dedicated to improving your health to dive into this venture and stick with it. The journey of starting AIP can be both empowering and overwhelming. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs__m_P-SvZ2NRYqeDhN41lTN-03a8gaB7RW6AsnH4qpNK4-yAsPLfZ43XECaTkMXJb70phOEB5lotfHtg9RTAuvIOi-uQRdZ-5itL0aMTaEjGaBjQxLlJUXGUnTS-bRVCzaMyd_9wiXMJM1s_FviViKT4NCStVlToK2YJORKZY4NjhGSwvsYSZw3iumlB/s1500/17%20tips%20for%20starting%20aip.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="17 tips for starting aip" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs__m_P-SvZ2NRYqeDhN41lTN-03a8gaB7RW6AsnH4qpNK4-yAsPLfZ43XECaTkMXJb70phOEB5lotfHtg9RTAuvIOi-uQRdZ-5itL0aMTaEjGaBjQxLlJUXGUnTS-bRVCzaMyd_9wiXMJM1s_FviViKT4NCStVlToK2YJORKZY4NjhGSwvsYSZw3iumlB/w426-h640/17%20tips%20for%20starting%20aip.png" title="17 tips for starting aip: what I've learned" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div><b>What is AIP?</b></div><div>The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is a specialized diet designed to help individuals with autoimmune conditions reduce inflammation, heal their gut, and identify food triggers that may exacerbate their symptoms. The Elimination Phase of the AIP is a crucial starting point on this journey towards better health. By eliminating potentially inflammatory foods and focusing on nutrient-dense, healing foods, individuals can support their bodies in healing and regaining balance. This article explores the key aspects of the AIP Elimination Phase, including its purpose, recommended foods to include and avoid, meal planning strategies, symptom management, and the transition to the Reintroduction Phase. Understanding and effectively implementing the Elimination Phase can lay a strong foundation for managing autoimmune conditions and improving overall well-being.</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>My Tips for Eating AIP</b></div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>You don't have to completely change your cooking style. If you like batch cooking, continue batch cooking. If you cook on the fly, keep that up, just keep your pantry stocked to anticipate your needs. Initially I tried to adjust my cooking scheduling and it just wouldn't work for our lifestyle.</li><li>Instead of immediately trying all new recipes, look at your existing recipes and make easy changes. I've found more success enjoying meals by using recipes I have and making slight changes rather than trying a bunch of new recipes. Over the last 100 days, I've kept less than 1/3 of the recipes I've tried. Those aren't great odds. But by simply adapting my own recipes my success rate has gone up to 90%. Start with recipes you don't have to change and then move on to those that you only have to drop out a few spices and sub in the ones you need. Easy changes are mace for nutmeg; ginger for pepper; coconut aminos for soy sauce (which I think tastes much better anyway); etc.</li><li>Check and double check ingredients. There is not much more frustrating than spending all of that money on AIP foods only to realize after you've ordered something online that what you've bought has things in it you can't have. Or even worse, that you bought something that you thought was safe to eat, ate it for weeks, and then realized you have been eating something causing inflammation! Three times now, I've made this discovery. There were eggs in my paleo protein powder, black walnut in a supplement, and rice bran in a different supplement. And those were all things I thought I checked. If I order something online, I check the ingredient list before I buy. Then when it arrives, I recheck the ingredient list again. You are usually safe to use something that is recommended by others on AIP or expert's products in the field: however, 2 of the products I mentioned were from experts and loads of recipes that are supposed to be AIP have things in them that aren't AIP friendly. </li><li>That brings me to my next tip. Really research the AIP restrictions. If you know what you can have and can't have inside out, it will make it so much easier to check labels and recipes to be sure you are covered. Also be sure to find the most updated list. Pepper and nutmeg are two examples of things that were once allowed, but now have been dropped from the list of foods that are okay.</li><li>Buy in small quantities initially. If AIP is introducing you to a completely new food, buy it in a small quantity to be sure you really like it. Don't get me started on the salmon bars or the sushi wraps or the seaweed. I'm going to have those in my pantry for many weeks to come and not know quite what to do with them because no one of the 6 of us cares for them! Don't buy a bunch of something new until you are sure you'll like it!</li><li>I have found it is easier for me to prep the day ahead for the next day's meals or even prep the meal ahead for the next meal. If I am making a soup, the day before I start my broth in the crockpot. If I'm making brownies in the evening, I bake the sweet potato in the morning. This takes some organization, but I've found on average I spend a half hour to an hour more on meal prep with AIP then I did before.</li><li>Stock your freezer with a few extras. If you have an event coming up where you will be eating out of the house, prep ahead with those freezer foods. I usually have grilled pork, steak, or chicken on hand by making a bit extra with another meal. I get some extra packs of frozen veggies that aren't for a particular meal like cauliflower, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, or broccoli. I choose a couple of the veggies and a meat and throw them in a glass container and have a quick take with me meal. A lot of times, I have a salad and throw some fruit on top too. Occasionally, I'll grab a dessert I have on hand or a tea, but usually I just stick with water.</li><li>There are a few things that I've found best to make at the beginning of the week, so I will have them on hand when I need them. Usually, I plan to make bone broth, coconut milk, and basic condiments (bbq, dressings) weekly.</li><li>I have always planned my meals out a week in advance. But I also have a basic outline of types of meals assigned for different days of the week. For example, my breakfast rotation looks like: cereal or parfait, smoothie, pancakes or waffles, porridge, sausage patties and sweet potatoes, hash, and muffins or bread. It makes it easier to plan and gives a good rotation, so I don't feel like I'm eating the same thing all of the time.</li><li>Start simple. In the beginning especially, don't try to get super complicated with your meals, even if that's what you normally do. I've found its best to start with simple marinades for meats or meatballs or burgers and roasted veggies. Grill it or put it in the oven. </li><li>Eat leftovers for lunch. If you can, that is. Lunch has been the hardest meal for me because we don't have a lot of leftovers! There are six of us, seven sometimes and one of them is a 14-year-old boy that doesn't stop eating ever. Another issue is lunch is such a busy time. This is really what I'm focusing on improving right now.</li><li>Start collecting recipes that you think you will like. There are a lot of AIP recipes floating around out there that don't taste good at all. Slowly start integrating the recipes that look appealing into your simpler plan. We have some recipe recommendations you can try on our autoimmune page.</li><li>Be prepared for not enjoying all of the food. You may not really like some of the ingredients you can use. I don't like plantains in "breads" at all. There are other options, so if one food isn't palatable for you, don't worry. Just try another option. </li><li>Refine your tastes: really focus on what you like or what new foods you've found you like. Find lots of ways to use them.</li><li>My autoimmune disorder has begun to affect my blood sugar. It is important for me to have regular meals and snacks on hand. The last thing I want is to have a drop in blood sugar and have to spend an hour making something that I'm allowed to eat. Staying stocked up on snacks is important. You can make your own snacks (protein balls, muffins, etc.), buy them (this takes some planning because most AIP friendly snacks are only available through online retailers), or a combination of both (which is what works best for me).</li><li>Have some car snacks ready for when you are out. You never know when you will be out stuck somewhere longer then you intend to be. Car snacks are ideal for just such an event. You could keep stocked tuna packets, EPIC bars or chomps, freeze dried fruit, or sweet potato chips. </li><li>Do not be afraid to share your food restrictions when you are invited to eat with friends. Ask what they are planning to make. Explain what you can't have and an easy way to fix yours or what you can bring instead. Sometimes it is easier for me just to bring my own food altogether. Or switch it up and invite them to your house and you prepare the meal. You don't have to give up with the fellowship of eating with people.</li></ol></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9XVW055HB2N8_owNgfIFJvpbpbG-2lfIsVNNMKr983urh5Uiy4NVaxVJ35n4b2e3RZZtF-ba-5XqiCRY2WMU-jWE6S-EvhAQ8aTdUntni6WFOenhb-72XC9PxVJgJGbi9PeFAWKXAn75VAK80m9swXfzHkyCBdsk7nnBWV4v8JH5knqZEpZzj3AKIdJDR/s640/031%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Meatloaf muffins" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9XVW055HB2N8_owNgfIFJvpbpbG-2lfIsVNNMKr983urh5Uiy4NVaxVJ35n4b2e3RZZtF-ba-5XqiCRY2WMU-jWE6S-EvhAQ8aTdUntni6WFOenhb-72XC9PxVJgJGbi9PeFAWKXAn75VAK80m9swXfzHkyCBdsk7nnBWV4v8JH5knqZEpZzj3AKIdJDR/w480-h640/031%20(2).JPG" title="17 tips for starting the autoimmune protocol elimination diet" width="480" /></a></div><br /></div><div><b>Has it been worth it?</b></div><div>I haven't had any lab blood testing yet, so I don't know how it is affecting my blood levels, but my pain levels and inflammation is so much better.

At that point, I will gradually try reintroducing foods in the 4 phases of reintroduction. In the end, I'd really love to settle on the paleo diet. That is honestly my end goal. With my blood sugar issues, processed sugar is not really on the table and since gluten, grains, and psudo-grains are some of the biggest culprits for autoimmune, paleo seems the most reasonable. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEHL0V7e0gJUNs0YRosr4IOVdEiE965F2K03fPJyxeIYaqizIhHV2FAhK2o1-d7Cv_s3Dqn_Xj9TGPBcM9_I5NfI_KXmIQgdP3CXf9BgZ4fdUele-Sg-k5MaGBlCWwhB5vL5aw7r7-Gu6AP-6arwOY8EaCFUN7niyChR8nW6dG39I2LU_XAlF0XWmVUPYW/s640/066.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="aip cherry pie bars" border="0" data-original-height="513" data-original-width="640" height="514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEHL0V7e0gJUNs0YRosr4IOVdEiE965F2K03fPJyxeIYaqizIhHV2FAhK2o1-d7Cv_s3Dqn_Xj9TGPBcM9_I5NfI_KXmIQgdP3CXf9BgZ4fdUele-Sg-k5MaGBlCWwhB5vL5aw7r7-Gu6AP-6arwOY8EaCFUN7niyChR8nW6dG39I2LU_XAlF0XWmVUPYW/w640-h514/066.JPG" title="tips for starting aip" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>What tips can you share for starting AIP?</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Disclaimer: The purpose of this post is not to offer medical advice.

It can take hours to fall asleep and then when you do get to sleep and wake up, you find that the lack of sleep has brought on a flare. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5VJscWXuBGeVB3YMIR-FFuqgebjsfrc8wNeXjq8rdDURFb3GOalhzYR4km-LdzxJPvO1_Jfd-Br2OxuSahfdNkf3_nVqifQTNB0mnkg0De-id6sQzCOIgWqhT6Ymte-oVlO6nlZLwo_3hdej-MxNsEDfPV7NoGmQgvashU9FkQ6PV4gSB_I1v_qbAZ-nm/s1920/Autoimmune%20Insomnia.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Comedy stage" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5VJscWXuBGeVB3YMIR-FFuqgebjsfrc8wNeXjq8rdDURFb3GOalhzYR4km-LdzxJPvO1_Jfd-Br2OxuSahfdNkf3_nVqifQTNB0mnkg0De-id6sQzCOIgWqhT6Ymte-oVlO6nlZLwo_3hdej-MxNsEDfPV7NoGmQgvashU9FkQ6PV4gSB_I1v_qbAZ-nm/w360-h640/Autoimmune%20Insomnia.png" title="using comedy to beat insomnia" width="360" /></a></div><br /><div>It is definitely a balancing act to fall asleep some nights. One of the ways I attempt to settle in for the night is to listen to a short comedy set. Laughing is good for you and it helps to take your mind off of any stressors. I usually just pick a clean comedian from youtube and drift off to sleep while it is playing. I turn off autoplay, so it doesn't play on and on and wake me up later. And I try to pick those with few ads, so the difference in sound doesn't jar me awake either.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you aren't sure where to start, here's a list of our favorite comedians. All of these comedians have made us laugh out loud and some of them have brought us to tears. Several of them have landed in our family quote dialogue from time to time.</div><div><br /></div><div>Nate Bargatze-Nate is a clean comedian whose style has landed him a bit on SNL. In our state, he sold out so quickly for his most recent show, they opened another day.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LWeaqISShHw" width="320" youtube-src-id="LWeaqISShHw"></iframe></div><br /><div>Brandon Farris- We really like his early stuff, especially his openings and initial google translates. His most recent stuff is not very appropriate or very clean. If you go 3 years back or more, you should find his really good classic videos.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ofcdMJ3eGm4" width="320" youtube-src-id="ofcdMJ3eGm4"></iframe></div><br /><div>Jim Gaffigan-It's hard to believe he has as much material as he does. He has so many unique bits up. He's a bit of a genius at coming up with new stuff. He does occasionally throw in a profanity or make a lewd comment, but it is seldom.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C7fZBoNjqqY" width="320" youtube-src-id="C7fZBoNjqqY"></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Tim Hawkins-Tim is a Christian comedian that has had us in tears with some of his bits.

We typically stick to the shows on Dry Bar for this list as a lot of the folks aren’t clean otherwise, but clean up their shows for the club. I've listed them alphabetically here.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jeff Allen</div><div>Drew Allen</div><div>Drew Barth</div><div>Cam Bertrand</div><div>Josh Blue</div><div>Berry Brewer</div><div>David Crowe</div><div>Kellen Erskine</div><div>Matt Falk-Matt's style is really energetic and winning. His bit about visiting England is wonderful.</div><div>Zoltan Kaszas-Zoltan's dry bar stuff is clean and really, really funny. If you search for bits not on dry bar though, they won't be clean.</div><div>Fred Klett-Love his bits on growing up in a big family.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1OJPu27Bve0" width="320" youtube-src-id="1OJPu27Bve0"></iframe></div><br /><div>Robert Mac-His first one is our favorite. He has a very unique style.</div><div>Moody Molavi</div><div>Leanne Morgan-Leanne is so funny. Her mean teenage girl set is great.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RvO-d5wUQ4M" width="320" youtube-src-id="RvO-d5wUQ4M"></iframe></div><br /><div>Dustin Nickerson-Love his why his marriage works explanations.</div><div>Josh Novey</div><div>Michael Palascak</div><div>Dwayne Perkins</div><div>Andy Peters</div><div>Christian Pieper</div><div>Mark Poolos</div><div>Dennis Reagan</div><div>Corey Rodrigues</div><div>Cleto Rodriguez</div><div>Tommy Ryman</div><div>Jose Sarduy</div><div>Marty Simpson</div><div>Kabir Singh</div><div>Shayne Smith-This ex-gang member is hilarious.

And feeling like there is nothing you can do about it is even worse. I was just at that point when I heard about the Autoimmune Protocol. It is an elimination diet designed to help you determine what foods may be contributing to your condition. The premise is to limit inflammatory foods. When your body begins healing, you can try reintroducing foods gradually to see what may have been attributing to your pain. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRU8oo5je0N5Yf6lnCRwvMpwlOHJ89kyoi9hXT6j-5C4Y1lZfPecBSd5mkbTHXn_3QpYZqv5vCZ37hnnYajvvlccQuaehdkwfkvwFSobmYNvVz0KavOG_5rdtDdUagGvjirhH8-q8i523HgAQQYQPvN3Z0R3QrNt0gQQbMbUTddOM-UQbcNLMnlrpIkc1x/s1500/Week%2014.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="aip apple cauliflower porridge, hot chocolate, lime cod, lemon bars" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRU8oo5je0N5Yf6lnCRwvMpwlOHJ89kyoi9hXT6j-5C4Y1lZfPecBSd5mkbTHXn_3QpYZqv5vCZ37hnnYajvvlccQuaehdkwfkvwFSobmYNvVz0KavOG_5rdtDdUagGvjirhH8-q8i523HgAQQYQPvN3Z0R3QrNt0gQQbMbUTddOM-UQbcNLMnlrpIkc1x/w426-h640/Week%2014.jpg" title="What to eat with an autoimmune disease" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div>I have been documenting what I have been eating on the AIP diet for 14 weeks now in an effort to encourage anyone out there that has an autoimmune and wants to attempt to heal through dietary changes.

This series is all about how I've incorporated AIP elimination foods into my diet, so you can see how someone has set about meal planning. When I was getting ready to start AIP, I wanted to see how it looked daily. Mostly what I found were some menus, batch cooking ideas, and recipes. In order to offer what I needed and what you might need to, this series began!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEZ9lDsze7QLsBhioMTW2QOzUjJKPZq3e903E_S3dxTyy2iqVRhSOk29z1_n8QikaXoenJa-TpmadkNoxnen4-qheqgmGdm6CzmsDAjPgxuALU7j61IR7nQOaHlCP3HvqbOaNCvxdwlDTtnVvmCjw8Q_yVmgETzLRW88OdoxC3d6dm6ofR-cXaLAHav_4P/s1500/Week%2013.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Chicken Vegetable Stew, Blueberry muffins, Cheesy” Taco Dip, Sausage and sweet potatoes," border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEZ9lDsze7QLsBhioMTW2QOzUjJKPZq3e903E_S3dxTyy2iqVRhSOk29z1_n8QikaXoenJa-TpmadkNoxnen4-qheqgmGdm6CzmsDAjPgxuALU7j61IR7nQOaHlCP3HvqbOaNCvxdwlDTtnVvmCjw8Q_yVmgETzLRW88OdoxC3d6dm6ofR-cXaLAHav_4P/w426-h640/Week%2013.jpg" title="autoimmune protocol" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div>I'm starting my 13th week on the autoimmune protocol, to try to reduce the painful inflammation I get for 9 months out of the year.

It's been quite the journey. I've experienced some healing, but I still have a long way to go. In a few more weeks, I will start trying to reintroduce foods as I see an improvement with the pain.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVLX9Jk4hiMj2sludfi-JfXC0XosQ5mzLKJFTmUmn0m5H25GiWyb5HFfs2Nf2tZoXGmBmWDeyQwvI1t1PtVQaSLg5w3jj_B0FHUJ5SQFVKJyp7_CXNxv7n2Ek_HIUE_-iHJ0thrPWA7gqHeuThcBY3WgZBhMT_OQLkh3pPL_ZYm31cAcVxT1YZAq_W8lf-/s1500/Week%2012.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="cherry pie bars, aip snack mix, beet smoothie, chicken and dumplings" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVLX9Jk4hiMj2sludfi-JfXC0XosQ5mzLKJFTmUmn0m5H25GiWyb5HFfs2Nf2tZoXGmBmWDeyQwvI1t1PtVQaSLg5w3jj_B0FHUJ5SQFVKJyp7_CXNxv7n2Ek_HIUE_-iHJ0thrPWA7gqHeuThcBY3WgZBhMT_OQLkh3pPL_ZYm31cAcVxT1YZAq_W8lf-/w426-h640/Week%2012.jpg" title="AIP meals" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div>Beginning week 12, I'm still trying out new recipes and making adjustments to old recipes to try to find foods that won't cause inflammation for me and that my family and I like to eat!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Day 78</b></div><div><br /></div><div>How I am feeling: I'm feeling okay today.

These conditions can affect various parts of the body, from the skin to the joints, and even the organs. While the exact cause of autoimmune diseases is still unknown, recent research has shown a strong link between these conditions and the health of our gut. In fact, the stomach plays a crucial role in the development and management of autoimmune diseases. So what's the deal with the connection between autoimmune disease and your stomach?

They occur when the immune system, which is designed to protect us from harmful pathogens, mistakenly attacks its own healthy cells and tissues. This immune system malfunction can lead to chronic inflammation and damage to different organs or systems, resulting in symptoms that can range from mild to severe.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are more than 80 known autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, Hashimoto's and Crohn's disease, to name just a few. While each autoimmune disease may have unique characteristics, they all share the underlying feature of the immune system mistakenly targeting the body's own cells.</div><div><br /></div><div>Autoimmune diseases can be challenging to diagnose, as their symptoms can often be vague and overlap with other conditions. Additionally, the exact cause of autoimmune diseases is still unknown. However, researchers have made significant progress in understanding the role of the gut in the development and management of these conditions. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://images.pexels.com/photos/1346347/pexels-photo-1346347.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="kale smoothie" border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="750" height="640" src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/1346347/pexels-photo-1346347.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=1" title="link between stomach and autoimmune disease" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>The Crucial Role of the Stomach in Immune Response</b></div><div>The stomach plays a vital role in the immune response of our bodies. While it may seem like an unrelated part of our digestive system, it actually holds significant influence over our immune system's function. </div><div><br /></div><div>The stomach is lined with specialized cells that produce stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and other substances that aid in breaking down food. But it also serves as a first line of defense against harmful pathogens. The acid in our stomach, for example, helps kill off any bacteria or viruses that may have entered our body through our food.</div><div><br /></div><div>Additionally, the stomach is home to trillions of bacteria, collectively known as the gut microbiota. These bacteria help maintain the balance of our immune system by training it to distinguish between harmful pathogens and harmless substances. They also play a crucial role in the production of antibodies, which are key components of our immune response. Overall, the stomach's role in immune response is undeniable. Its proper functioning is crucial in preventing autoimmune diseases and maintaining a healthy immune system.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>The Connection Between Your Stomach and Autoimmune Conditions</b></div><div>Our stomach plays a crucial role in the development and management of autoimmune conditions. Research has shown a strong connection between the health of our gut and the onset of autoimmune diseases. How exactly does the stomach contribute to these conditions? Well, it all starts with the gut microbiota – trillions of bacteria living in our stomach. These bacteria help regulate our immune system, distinguishing between harmful pathogens and harmless substances. When this delicate balance is disrupted, our immune system can go haywire, leading to the development of autoimmune diseases. Additionally, common digestive issues, such as leaky gut syndrome, can contribute to the development and exacerbation of these conditions. Therefore, taking care of our gut health is crucial for preventing and managing autoimmune diseases. In the next sections, we will explore the common digestive issues associated with autoimmune diseases and discuss ways to promote a healthy gut to improve your autoimmune condition.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://images.pexels.com/photos/775032/pexels-photo-775032.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=600&lazy=load" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="fruit smoothie" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/775032/pexels-photo-775032.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=600&lazy=load" title="link between gut healthy and autoimmune disease" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><b>Common Digestive Issues Associated with Autoimmune Diseases</b></div><div>Digestive issues are commonly associated with autoimmune diseases. These conditions often go hand in hand, as the health of our gut can directly impact the development and severity of autoimmune conditions. One of the most common digestive issues associated with autoimmune diseases is leaky gut syndrome. This condition occurs when the lining of the intestines becomes permeable, allowing undigested food particles and toxins to leak into the bloodstream. This can trigger an immune response and inflammation throughout the body, leading to the onset or worsening of autoimmune diseases. Other digestive issues, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), celiac disease, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are also frequently seen in individuals with autoimmune conditions. It is crucial to address these digestive issues and support gut health to effectively manage autoimmune diseases.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Importance of Gut Health for Preventing and Managing Autoimmune Diseases</b></div><div>Maintaining a healthy gut is of utmost importance when it comes to preventing and managing autoimmune diseases. Our gut health has a direct impact on the development and severity of these conditions. Research has shown that a disrupted gut microbiota, such as an imbalance of beneficial bacteria, can lead to immune system dysfunction and the onset of autoimmune diseases.</div><div>By prioritizing gut health, we can potentially reduce the risk of developing autoimmune diseases and improve our overall condition. A balanced diet rich in fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, while avoiding processed foods and sugars can help maintain a healthy gut lining. Additionally, managing stress levels and getting regular exercise can also support a healthy gut.</div><div><br /></div><div>Incorporating probiotic-rich foods, such as yogurt and fermented vegetables, into our diet can further enhance gut health. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can help restore the balance of our gut microbiota and improve immune function.</div><div><br /></div><div>Taking care of our gut health is not only crucial for digestion, but it also plays a significant role in preventing and managing autoimmune diseases. By prioritizing gut health through diet, lifestyle changes, and incorporating probiotics, we can potentially improve our condition and live a healthier, happier life.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://images.pexels.com/photos/10645820/pexels-photo-10645820.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=600&lazy=load" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="carrot and ginger juice" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="527" src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/10645820/pexels-photo-10645820.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=600&lazy=load" title="link between autoimmune disease and leaky gut" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><b>How to Promote a Healthy Gut to Improve Autoimmune Condition</b></div><div>Taking care of your gut health is essential for improving your autoimmune condition. Here are some strategies to promote a healthy gut and potentially reduce the severity of your symptoms:</div><div>1. Prioritize a balanced diet: Include plenty of fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your meals. These foods provide nourishment for beneficial gut bacteria and support a healthy gut lining. Additionally, consume foods high in antioxidants and healthy fats to reduce inflammation.</div><div>2. Avoid processed foods and sugars: These can disrupt the balance of bacteria in your gut and contribute to inflammation. Opt for whole, unprocessed foods instead.</div><div>3. Manage stress levels: Chronic stress can negatively impact gut health. Practice stress-management techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or engaging in activities you enjoy.</div><div>4. Incorporate probiotics: Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can improve gut health. Include probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, or kimchi in your diet.</div><div>5. Stay active: Regular exercise helps support a healthy gut by improving digestion and reducing inflammation.</div><div><br /></div><div>By implementing these strategies, you can potentially improve your gut health, reduce inflammation, and better manage your autoimmune condition. </div></div><div><br /></div><div>Have you noticed a link between your autoimmune disease and gut health?</div><div><br /></div><div><div><i>Disclaimer: The purpose of this post is not to offer medical advice.

When I started researching anti-inflammatory diets, I really wanted to see what people were eating on daily basis. I wanted to know how they were managing it day in and day out. I found very few people talking about how they were putting meals together, so I decided I'd share what I was doing in the hopes that if you are looking to see how to make it work, you have somewhere to go. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjOGrFjDwgt_u5_dajFgyzGeeqzeRFEhg2YeyyqOaKtkKmQ793l6Wj8Lp9ft-nFBQ6JEyckwGOluvbFXXL6oROaEvcvaC-SEZk6WoPr2bMrwNhxg9vPUmKWPZEJpaJ3qs25eo9Y8gOORO4uZYMmkPwBeLfrlweZQHMH1WNbSIj90oC5BzwW6AabO7oleEq/s1500/Week%2011%20AIP.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="pumpkin muffins, spaghetti squash and meatballs, fried rice, and creamy shrimp" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjOGrFjDwgt_u5_dajFgyzGeeqzeRFEhg2YeyyqOaKtkKmQ793l6Wj8Lp9ft-nFBQ6JEyckwGOluvbFXXL6oROaEvcvaC-SEZk6WoPr2bMrwNhxg9vPUmKWPZEJpaJ3qs25eo9Y8gOORO4uZYMmkPwBeLfrlweZQHMH1WNbSIj90oC5BzwW6AabO7oleEq/w426-h640/Week%2011%20AIP.png" title="meals to eat with autoimmune disease" width="426" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Before diving into this 11th week. I thought I'd do a recap of where I'm at physically. This time of year is when I generally have my most severe flair ups. I have pain that radiates from my neck to my fingers on the right side, my tongue gets prickly feeling, sometimes both elbows and wrists hurt, and occasionally my hips hurt, so that it is hard to walk. Being on AIP for 10 weeks, I'm seeing some improvement, but I'm thinking something I'm eating is still causing some issues. I've been treating SIBO in addition to the AIP diet and the natural treatment I'm using has black walnut in it. I'm almost through taking it and wonder how things will go afterwards. This year on AIP I'm finding, that while the lymph node is still a little swollen and my hair is falling out in clumps, which it hasn't done in years. But I'm way better than usual and I'm thankful for the improvement. I'll be interested to see how my body responds when I'm not taking the black walnut. And after that recap on to what I ate!<br /><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Day 71</b></div><div><br /></div><div>How I am feeling: Just some minor swelling in lymph node.

I usually know what I want and would really prefer for someone to just hand it to me, rather than for me to go hunting to see if I can find it. I remember as a teenager, I used to get hives when I'd go shopping with my mom. There was something about the organization of the stores or looking for things through bins or try-ons in cramped dressing rooms. It was all too much. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have a friend that loves going shopping, even grocery shopping. She'll take a cup of coffee and happily stroll the aisles. I don't even do the grocery shopping at our house; Poppa picks up our groceries on the way home. The girls know they have me for no more than 2 hours on a shopping trip before it is time for me to get on my way. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There are two exceptions. Some antique stores and boutiques. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Antique stores are wonderful. I think I could spend hours and hours looking at things. I've been in plenty of antique stores that I've turn around immediately and walked out, but there are others that I can stay in all day. maybe because some feel more like a museum rather than a shop. Or maybe it is because we spent a lot of time at an auction house when I was in my teens. My grandmother owned a furniture refinishing business and I learned how to appreciate old things. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As for boutiques, they are generally small and have a relaxed atmosphere. There isn't a ton of clothing, but it is generally high-quality. That also means I can look through everything in less than my allotted 2 hours. There's only been a few boutiques that I was uncomfortable in and that was because they had more than 2 floors and were also second-hand stores. Too much was going on for me. One of our absolute favorite boutiques is <a href="https://www.boutiquedanvilleoh.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Blonde Robin</a>! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiftJeny1K9hQkdikDjIpft3SzrChwYF6-y8e3gUkV2leuFr_niB9moqC0uDGbNBN3E25fzhed4tVCD-qZlxp4TGIJOmPtmDrpyjhzPy1iVm_9tB6bdYvEP9pPtfHny8X5XlI9fOI8pXbM7_Lf-t3U2svQ1mV1dOJ3DA3B3KAHfprDrKi0ia2OENAwKi0Sw/s4032/255.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="plaid blazer with sweater and dress pants" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiftJeny1K9hQkdikDjIpft3SzrChwYF6-y8e3gUkV2leuFr_niB9moqC0uDGbNBN3E25fzhed4tVCD-qZlxp4TGIJOmPtmDrpyjhzPy1iVm_9tB6bdYvEP9pPtfHny8X5XlI9fOI8pXbM7_Lf-t3U2svQ1mV1dOJ3DA3B3KAHfprDrKi0ia2OENAwKi0Sw/w480-h640/255.JPG" title="winter try-on" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Why we love Blonde Robin</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Firstly, we adore the owners! We've known Megan and Emily for years and years. Beautiful ladies inside and out! Secondly, the clothes are high quality. I have things in my closet that I purchased there over 5 years ago that are still like new. That's important to me. Generally, when I buy something for my closet, it needs to be durable. My purchases trend toward timeless, classic pieces and since those don't go out of style, I expect them to last. The girls love the clothes because they are pretty and subtly trendy (right now the focus is on a cottage core look, although over the years it shifts with updates). They've even picked out ball dresses here. Honestly, I feel like I have my own personalized stylist when I walk in the door. It's like a whole shop of clothes picked for me. And not least on my list, the shop itself is beautiful. There's something about shopping in an aesthetically lovely place.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjxVj5-TvNMfr9GkM0Hcb2vvkq0b8U4zWTX4J8kuCVmDRnbOrRCsKGWuYXcedESW6Is0OLObFFTIPr_9vaemM9s4ncHjYblzZVDBoUi2G-Qw5LII09OjrgAd1LyXXeeyHo-Sdef4paYUSHhcPe-_sQP4nSI3nUx9apsspkuEIeEvIvnoXe_Emqs3Kk9gWV/s4032/246.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="racks of clothes and baby crib" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjxVj5-TvNMfr9GkM0Hcb2vvkq0b8U4zWTX4J8kuCVmDRnbOrRCsKGWuYXcedESW6Is0OLObFFTIPr_9vaemM9s4ncHjYblzZVDBoUi2G-Qw5LII09OjrgAd1LyXXeeyHo-Sdef4paYUSHhcPe-_sQP4nSI3nUx9apsspkuEIeEvIvnoXe_Emqs3Kk9gWV/w480-h640/246.JPG" title="winter boutique try-on" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJxpGUMHHSu3LmXkecA5YHyMk1CZnkhgEsOoia6AIVd7AXvWrMMPsI64nWpu872ay85IYCYUUnWlqv10y97WgdGgmYi2B-SfoCCP3rwXoKCRGClIQs3wUc5FgospbhUfeeh8IY78lQbwH0KTao_SL8vLEZwrkshGFTNxfCdfodeUlA17HgAthCA8AY8C3s/s4032/248.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="cute dressing room decorated for holidays" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJxpGUMHHSu3LmXkecA5YHyMk1CZnkhgEsOoia6AIVd7AXvWrMMPsI64nWpu872ay85IYCYUUnWlqv10y97WgdGgmYi2B-SfoCCP3rwXoKCRGClIQs3wUc5FgospbhUfeeh8IY78lQbwH0KTao_SL8vLEZwrkshGFTNxfCdfodeUlA17HgAthCA8AY8C3s/w480-h640/248.JPG" title="try-on dressing room" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div>In addition to clothing, they sell home decor in store.

Those with autoimmune diseases are supposed to use the elimination phase to give the body a break from foods that cause inflammation and pain. It is designed to kickstart the process of healing and repairing. Gradually foods are to be reintroduced to see what still causes trouble. This is very individual but can provide clear direction on what may be bothersome. It's even recommended to try those things that cause inflammation or flares later on to see if after more healing you can tolerate them.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQEK1dx8zJWjHzZOS2sitpE1H8jf7yHrhy4Qea-tMbb0Tsq2nuP3NV45SVTP9Y3I8sQRchWGZp53-w_YxvrbhysDojzbR2WhHe-fJRmVepoIec3dLeo-YAPotcOgXnfkw-3GloOs2kc-HeykXllwm_4NNNnjs0sV0fLvS8ZMxsxLBe-7Ja5OkdArxWUkrL/s1500/Week%2010%20AIP.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="pork roast, Lime Pork and Sweet Potato Hash, chocolate pancakes with raspberries, and thai chicken soup" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQEK1dx8zJWjHzZOS2sitpE1H8jf7yHrhy4Qea-tMbb0Tsq2nuP3NV45SVTP9Y3I8sQRchWGZp53-w_YxvrbhysDojzbR2WhHe-fJRmVepoIec3dLeo-YAPotcOgXnfkw-3GloOs2kc-HeykXllwm_4NNNnjs0sV0fLvS8ZMxsxLBe-7Ja5OkdArxWUkrL/w426-h640/Week%2010%20AIP.png" title="Autoimmune Protocol what to eat series" width="426" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm up to week 10 now and still learning more and more about how to eat this way and attempting to accumulate recipes that are AIP that the family enjoys.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Day 63</b></div><div><br /></div><div>How I am feeling: I had some throat burning in the evening. </div><div><br /></div><div>What I ate on AIP elimination phase day 63:</div><div><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div><div>Breakfast:</div><div>Lime Pork and Sweet Potato Hash (my recipe, coming soon)</div><div>Raspberries</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixOZjlCXvT9yqpxtMthILgkqnQjfuUv4KBbgX4scsJ2tmRiXSfa0UQp4q4MoKIXPEGm5oO-kDtPMZ36LUBJwJ19XY_XzCtgeLZfx03YR-OsoJkJg0WxDfcJmTWLqMH12BEj-6dYoxSIcQhTZwUuQvfV_aKcQtY51Yq2JLmVUUhEyaLbhoWPHNiY7TAVekC/s2901/015.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Lime Pork and Sweet Potato Hash" border="0" data-original-height="2900" data-original-width="2901" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixOZjlCXvT9yqpxtMthILgkqnQjfuUv4KBbgX4scsJ2tmRiXSfa0UQp4q4MoKIXPEGm5oO-kDtPMZ36LUBJwJ19XY_XzCtgeLZfx03YR-OsoJkJg0WxDfcJmTWLqMH12BEj-6dYoxSIcQhTZwUuQvfV_aKcQtY51Yq2JLmVUUhEyaLbhoWPHNiY7TAVekC/w640-h640/015.JPG" title="AIP Breakfast" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>Lunch: </div><div>Leftover <a href="https://autoimmunewellness.com/hearty-irish-lamb-stew/" target="_blank">Lamb Stew</a> from Autoimmune Wellness</div><div>That’s It Bar</div><div>Snack Mix</div><div><br /></div><div>Dinner:</div><div>Seared Scallops from Nourish: The Paleo Healing Cookbook </div><div>Mixed Greens with Strawberry Lime Dressing from The Healing Kitchen</div><div>Peach Ice Cream (my recipe)</div><div><br /></div><div>Creating Balance: </div><div><a href="https://www.littlehomeschoolblessings.com/2024/03/make-your-bed-for-therapeutic-benefits-for-autoimmune-disease.html" target="_blank">I made the bed</a> and opened the curtains.

I've been treating SIBO in addition to the AIP diet and the natural treatment I'm using has black walnut in it. I'm almost through taking it and wonder how things will go with the lymph node afterwards and twinges of pain from time to time. Additionally, I'm not sure what is happening with my hair. I haven't had any trouble with my hair falling out for years, even as other things have gotten worse. I'm considering taking organ supplements to see if that improves my hair loss. Not sure if I'm not getting enough calories or I'm missing some nutrient or what is going on.</div><div><br /></div><div>Have you tried AIP?

It's been so long, but I've got so much more healing to do and so much more to learn. A question I get asked a lot is, “How do you give up {fill in the blank}?” It’s always followed up with, “I just couldn’t do it.” No matter what the inflammatory food is my answer is still the same. I reply, “It is easy. If this makes the pain go away, then it is worth it.” When you have an autoimmune disease that flares its ugly head making normal living difficult, changing what you eat doesn’t seem too hard. Although, it isn’t easy to switch to the AIP or other anti-inflammatory diets. There are so many things you have to keep out of your diet, it can seem overwhelming!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGM-rQvSXKlaXI-WuipX0bq3sSyHoru3iyfOcrrtVH8wpNN7yWa3U2AxSwGg54PQRoCOJXBJgnbL5dP0RiYQzX0CgchouB67yVFNAv6MWXrEyg4r3vknCEz4QvOgbkda7sW1-tvtu0V0jpl42PsMF__tY705Jz64tK09Ivzbr4P3hBpQ47_5RWHfiF6CfW/s1500/Copy%20of%20Week%208%20AIP.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="pumpkin chili, chocolate cherry smoothie, tuna salad over spinach, and BBQ chicken pizza" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGM-rQvSXKlaXI-WuipX0bq3sSyHoru3iyfOcrrtVH8wpNN7yWa3U2AxSwGg54PQRoCOJXBJgnbL5dP0RiYQzX0CgchouB67yVFNAv6MWXrEyg4r3vknCEz4QvOgbkda7sW1-tvtu0V0jpl42PsMF__tY705Jz64tK09Ivzbr4P3hBpQ47_5RWHfiF6CfW/w426-h640/Copy%20of%20Week%208%20AIP.png" title="What to eat to support your autoimmune disease" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div>When I was looking to start AIP, I really just wanted to see how people were managing daily meals. Information about what people were eating day in and day out was slim. I found a few bloggers talking about a week or 2 here and there, but I really wanted to see more people talking about how to keep it up and what they were actually eating each day. I decided when I jumped in, I would share what I was eating here, so folks could get some idea of what it looked like for me and ideas for where to find good recipes. My hope is these weekly recaps are providing you with lots of ideas!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Day 49</b></div><div><br /></div><div>How I am feeling: Today I did a dance cardio routine.

I was disappointed to find out that a particular brand of collagen that is designed for those with autoimmune disorders I had been using for my recipes had egg in it. I completely missed this and I’ve been using it off and on the entire time I have been on AIP. I have cut it out of my diet, replacing it with something that is for AIP specifically and recommended by AIP nutritionists. One benefit of realizing this now is that if I start feeling much better, I’ll know egg is something that causes inflammation for me!</div><div><br /></div><div>Question: What foods cause you to have inflammation?</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Disclaimer: The purpose of this post is not to offer medical advice.

Those of you that homeschool understand how not one single homeschool day is the same, but this feels like a complete remodel to me for some reason. Ceesa is getting ready to graduate with her bachelor’s in history with a minor in English in a few weeks and Jo-Jo is working on a wildlife conservation degree and mostly doing college course work and some work at home for her senior year. The girls were such a focus for me during their high school years that now, I feel like the boys get to absorb my attention, whether they want it or not. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">**While this post is a recap of what we did this fall for homeschool and it is chalked full of ideas for schooling, those of you that don't homeschool can check out our adventure section that has tons of ideas for families! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2LP2sBkpQKrZbBUh9pAPGZUyJrwmwrgtH1_mR7dQmnQwQpJYZWlqN6RNCQalfmQ7ma0ANEb0ucFJHS2aE9kTJ9Q51ym7m62rw2p_A_uLi_PC3YyaACKjvCwz2JNKxsHXvVqQPrQYjJMSwE7BJjV-pOqQ16DFZFHfldfuBOezl4H3hC-qfL5cHLtxF7mxJ/s1500/Fall%20semester%20wrap%20up%202023.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="magnifying glass on math book, art pallette, chemicals in jar, open book" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2LP2sBkpQKrZbBUh9pAPGZUyJrwmwrgtH1_mR7dQmnQwQpJYZWlqN6RNCQalfmQ7ma0ANEb0ucFJHS2aE9kTJ9Q51ym7m62rw2p_A_uLi_PC3YyaACKjvCwz2JNKxsHXvVqQPrQYjJMSwE7BJjV-pOqQ16DFZFHfldfuBOezl4H3hC-qfL5cHLtxF7mxJ/w426-h640/Fall%20semester%20wrap%20up%202023.jpg" title="homeschooling in the fall semester" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Back to School Kick-Off</b></div></div><div>The boys are at the age that we can go out adventuring and have great conversations and live this full life together in new ways. To kick off back to school, we went to a lego event at a local historic home and garden. Elaborate lego creations were set up in the house, welcome center, and gardens. Using the map, we went around the grounds locating each lego creation. We took a picnic lunch and enjoyed the grounds.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><b>First Day of School</b></div><div>We had our first day of school on Labor Day. It is when we’ve always started. In the past, it was because I had little ones underfoot and Poppa would be home. With him managing the younger children, we could have a smooth opening day. And now, it is just our tradition to start on the holiday. We always make sure to take a first day of school picture of each of the kids, too!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Fall Adventure and Vacation</b></div><div>Mid-September, we packed up and went camping. We took some school work; mostly readings, loaded the camper and were off. That makes it sound easy, but believe me it is quite the process preparing food for 6 and packing the camper with all our necessities. We glamp, so it is not the roughing it, bare minimum. It’s a mini-home to go.</div><div><br /></div><div>We spent some time every day field tripping it. This is just one of my many favorite things about homeschooling. The ability to go to places and see and do things, real things, and have real experiences. I taught for 5 years before Ceesa was born and there is truly a difference between a classroom and the world. And this week of camping is the best. A whole week of getting out and adventuring!</div><div><br /></div><div>We visited an alpaca farm, a wildlife reserve, historic houses with underground railroad history, and an art museum. The boys played some frisbee golf.</div><div><br /></div><div><script src="https://f.convertkit.com/ckjs/ck.5.js"></script>

We had lots and lots of adventures. At the beginning of October after many adventures, Wheel looked at me and said, “I love fall.” "Me too, buddy, me too." If you are looking for some fall adventures, you can see our list of <a href="https://www.littlehomeschoolblessings.com/2023/10/autumn-adventures-things-to-do-in-fall.html" target="_blank">Autumn Adventures: Things to do in the Fall</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Early in September we went apple picking at an apple orchard. We gathered a half-bushel and then got some local honey and apple cider to take home. Over the course of a few weeks, we used up the apples. We made apple chips and apple lattes. </div><div><br /></div><div>About mid-October, we went to a pumpkin farm and did a corn maze, potato slinging, picked pumpkins, and the kids had some treats. From then on, it was all about pumpkins! We made pumpkin pie and pumpkin muffins, so many pumpkin muffins! (I was testing out recipes that were AIP friendly!)</div><div><br /></div><div>Over the course of the semester, we went on a sternwheeler ride, checked out a spy program, went to an art museum, went to a planetarium, and visited a science museum.</div><div><br /></div><div>Other fall activities were the work day at the camp I facilitate, the Fall Ball, going to high school football games, going hiking, and the boys played flag football for a league.</div><div><div><br /></div></div><div><b>Fall Outdoor Day</b></div><div>Inspired by A Year of Forest School, we started having outdoor days. Last winter, was our first. We chose a day that was really nice for winter. We played games, lit a fire, made charcoal pencils and then drew with them. We had mulled juice and fire bread. It was such a great day that we decided we would start doing them throughout the seasons starting with this fall!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih9L1xoOvFy73XNn0QFJgfp_YiC-YUT3qayr2zUm3dF-cb-9Nlh8Cx6yFuEi8rf9rInbzS0ys0my3oacM3yRyRa1c0QU9rFoDCzWUtQj7vS2RuuAIbF7m-YbBAp9REzVaV5cwQjpoWg056HPt2VOPSxKeVtrBRWvE66gX6iCTheHqT8skkTRDqNPX3GvO_/s4032/151.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Book A Year of Forest School" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih9L1xoOvFy73XNn0QFJgfp_YiC-YUT3qayr2zUm3dF-cb-9Nlh8Cx6yFuEi8rf9rInbzS0ys0my3oacM3yRyRa1c0QU9rFoDCzWUtQj7vS2RuuAIbF7m-YbBAp9REzVaV5cwQjpoWg056HPt2VOPSxKeVtrBRWvE66gX6iCTheHqT8skkTRDqNPX3GvO_/w480-h640/151.JPG" title="Fall Outdoor Day" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div>First off the boys gathered the materials to start a fire.

The book suggested that you build with sticks and branches; however, we have several dens built already in the woods in that manner. Instead, we got some blankets from inside and constructed a den with those. We got a pile of books and sat inside all snuggled up together and read them.</div><div><br /></div><div>Technically, the outdoor day would be finished then, but we decided to make an evening of it and took dinner down to the fire and ate el fresco.</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>2023-2024 Basic Curriculum</b></div><div><div>For those of you that have been around for a while, you know that we use mostly a Charolotte Mason style of homeschooling. We trend toward the subjects that Miss Mason used in her schools. For most of our reading suggestions and some of the curriculum, we turn to <a href="https://amblesideonline.org/" target="_blank">AmblesideOnline</a>. This year for Jo-Jo, I’ve tailored her curriculum to be specific for her. So many of her classes are on campus that we are just doing some basics at home. Her homeschool schedule is slim and she really does everything independently, so I will just hand her the resources and a checklist and send her on her way. This will be a busy year with her applying for scholarships and grants, in addition to participating in science fairs and programs across the state. I want it to be as full and enjoyable as possible without putting her on overload. In addition to some of the recommendations for <a href="https://amblesideonline.org/ao-y12" target="_blank">year 12 from AO</a>, she’s been working on Khan Academy’s <a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/college-careers-more/financial-literacy" target="_blank">Financial Literacy </a>and <a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/college-careers-more/personal-finance" target="_blank">Personal Finance</a> curriculum. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Music</b> </div><div>We choose 3 of the suggested <a href="https://amblesideonline.org/folksongs" target="_blank">folk songs</a> for the year. We are using 2 of the recommended <a href="https://amblesideonline.org/composers" target="_blank">composers</a>, but we will be veering from the curriculum some and studying Stephen Simon. The girls and I did a study on him before Wheel was born and enjoyed it, so I thought I would put it on repeat for the boys. We have the CD’s for a few of these programs, but I have several through their downloaded audio. We will be listening to Casey at the Bat, The Nutcracker, Peter and the Wolf, Mike Mulligan/Steam Shovel, Story of Swan Lake, and Tortoise and the Hare. We generally pick 8 of the 12 <a href="https://amblesideonline.org/hymns" target="_blank">hymns provided on AO’s Hymn page</a>. I add in a Christmas hymn for an additional ninth. Occasionally, I’ll switch one out for one that we sing at church that we don’t know well.</div></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Science Experiments & Readings</b></div><div>This year when I was deciding what experiments I wanted to do with the boys, I came across the <a href="https://www.pta.org/home/programs/stem/at-home" target="_blank">experiment suggestions</a> on the National PTA site. We chose several of them this term to work on from the STEM at Home Kits and Learn at Home Activities sections of the websites. In addition to the activities, we read over the materials provided and watched any of the videos with active links. Years ago when the girls were younger, we implemented science notebooks, and the boys write down their experiments in their notebooks, too. </div><div><br /></div><div>The experiments we included:</div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Copper Tape Experiment</li><li>Whale Blubber</li></ol></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioIUQZoP8RDMGSsxxD_05RRtyHtj0LtAHoOxXmFkyabgTkVSWbKArRqrClgJOf2S28ZR275G8SPaZVVnb8LahgGy1HfgJ_t4JJzF8jl97zWUYmKorp3AN_ABvEWVn6iZB3q6xhTfOoeMdCiYyuSKOHN6atbsihkOpdx0ZioBjWHXD2aIYeueERMfzSiwG3/s4032/303.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="pan of ice water with a bag filled with shortening to represent whale blubber" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioIUQZoP8RDMGSsxxD_05RRtyHtj0LtAHoOxXmFkyabgTkVSWbKArRqrClgJOf2S28ZR275G8SPaZVVnb8LahgGy1HfgJ_t4JJzF8jl97zWUYmKorp3AN_ABvEWVn6iZB3q6xhTfOoeMdCiYyuSKOHN6atbsihkOpdx0ZioBjWHXD2aIYeueERMfzSiwG3/w640-h480/303.JPG" title="whale blubber experiment" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>3.

After seeing various animals, insects, and a snake, we studied them. We took some time to study moths, which inspired a project on camouflage. We learned more about ground hogs, box turtles, and the ring-necked snake. We did an in-depth study on plants by making sketches, reading poems, planting seeds, reading the plant section in The Wonders of Nature, and earning the pin for plants in the Contenders book.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jo-Jo volunteers for the state department of nature resources by doing a stream study 3 times a year. The last one she completed in the fall and the boys went with us. They spent the morning catching crawdads and minnows, while Jo-Jo and I hunted down water critters to document and count.</div><div><br /></div><div>We read lots of poems about fall, leaves, and the weather. Some of these we wrote in our notebooks.

Initially when I decided to try the autoimmune protocol diet to manage my autoimmune flare ups, I was giving it 30 days. The more I researched, the more I came to realize that I would need to adopt a much more long-term change to see results. Eventually, I will start to work into the various phases of reintroducing foods to see how individual foods impact my body; but for now, I'm simply working with the elimination component.

While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for managing this condition, one aspect that can greatly impact your overall health and well-being is your diet. What you eat can either fuel or exacerbate your symptoms, making it crucial to nourish your body with the right foods. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1X70DnRJqa8n2j6l2xtOYsoKmaYN4QCLWhEKTTAb4_FbE6HaG1RD1i-wLZOGpZBevM0qGw8YeyaxAnEHAqLsIAP8V2EUn3zXopKz0J_Ck4vvslPGznosA6kfOo58m6ykpPyWcthWlhal_c1dXiSdy6vYWjIHsKpoHpEHYhvlrnllrMMzbEkjkmpQgi_cu/s1500/7%20tips%20for%20eating%20healthy%20with%20hashimotos.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="plate with salad with mango, avocado, and strawberries" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1X70DnRJqa8n2j6l2xtOYsoKmaYN4QCLWhEKTTAb4_FbE6HaG1RD1i-wLZOGpZBevM0qGw8YeyaxAnEHAqLsIAP8V2EUn3zXopKz0J_Ck4vvslPGznosA6kfOo58m6ykpPyWcthWlhal_c1dXiSdy6vYWjIHsKpoHpEHYhvlrnllrMMzbEkjkmpQgi_cu/w426-h640/7%20tips%20for%20eating%20healthy%20with%20hashimotos.jpg" title="nourishing your body: tips for healthy eating with hashimoto's" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div><b>Understanding Hashimoto's: An Overview of the Autoimmune Disease</b></div><div>Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects the thyroid gland, which is responsible for producing hormones that regulate various bodily functions. This condition occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid tissue, causing inflammation and damage. Over time, this can lead to a decrease in thyroid hormone production. The exact cause of Hashimoto's is not fully understood, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic factors and environmental triggers. Women are more commonly affected by Hashimoto's, and the condition often develops gradually over many years. In more recent years, the spotlight has pointed to gut health as the most likely trigger for Hashimoto's Disease and other autoimmune diseases. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>The Link Between Diet and Hashimoto’s</b></div><div>When it comes to managing Hashimoto's, the link between diet and this autoimmune disease is undeniable. What you eat can have a significant impact on your symptoms and overall well-being. While diet alone cannot cure Hashimoto's, it can play a crucial role in supporting your body's healing process and minimizing flare-ups. One important factor to consider is inflammation. Hashimoto's is characterized by chronic inflammation in the body, and certain foods can either exacerbate or reduce this inflammation. Research suggests that an anti-inflammatory diet that is nutrient dense and rich in whole, unprocessed foods, can help alleviate symptoms and improve thyroid function. By nourishing your body with the right foods and avoiding potential triggers, the hope is that you can take control of your health and improve your quality of life with Hashimoto's.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBcxZEmzQcZERCsVvgX-gPUPcE3uAx3Q9NjSkbPsPFY2OnJrwfW3kpO7lm7f6A0Sn1_8L-Q7oZdjGaNia2GnoLGAopIlWA2tzTAifiT5DghnuTMwAgs7LHSJOyoNO0CBg_xwJvVyXTxzgBU2tVKhwcimp8LOY3bpLXV_EboMS01N2taJrBVuX366JSPOO5/s639/077.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="wooden plate with salmon, asparagus, greens, and mango salsa" border="0" data-original-height="639" data-original-width="622" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBcxZEmzQcZERCsVvgX-gPUPcE3uAx3Q9NjSkbPsPFY2OnJrwfW3kpO7lm7f6A0Sn1_8L-Q7oZdjGaNia2GnoLGAopIlWA2tzTAifiT5DghnuTMwAgs7LHSJOyoNO0CBg_xwJvVyXTxzgBU2tVKhwcimp8LOY3bpLXV_EboMS01N2taJrBVuX366JSPOO5/w622-h640/077.JPG" title="healthy dinner for hashimoto's" width="622" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><b>Our 7 Tips for Healthy Eating with Hashimoto's </b></div><div>The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet is an anti-inflammatory diet that focuses on whole, nutrient dense foods that help to heal your gut and immune system, which in turn, decreases Hashimoto's flares. Our tips are based on following AIP, but can be applied to other anti-inflammatory diets as well!</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>1) </b><b>Make Your Plan</b></div><div>With the anti-inflammation diets, you have to be all in to see healing. If you choose to ease your way in, it can take much longer to see results and discourage you before you have even eliminated everything that can be causing inflammation. However, with AIP and other anti-inflammatory diets you just can't decide one day that you are going to do it and start the next. The major reason for this is that the AIP diet itself eliminates a large portion of the American diet. So much of what you would typically eat and buy from the grocery store is off limits for AIP. It takes some planning and strategy to make the changes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe0EayFdhmqod624nq4yBr0rHdvwJ2mSRX8lmiLHCZATOF_VuGG63OrktEkMEpsX0kjyECApobJ7OhQyJtIdQfoY8MdU8Qq3AMu2Qz73wsZIuVr_nvsKUbRbKTmqi6y23F8V1jAN-hgP78eD1qAq7MCYKm4miOY1_lnOOjK_g1w-hV7VXYoA4BtWG74D2U/s640/083.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Coconut cream parfait with coconut and raspberries in stemmed glass" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe0EayFdhmqod624nq4yBr0rHdvwJ2mSRX8lmiLHCZATOF_VuGG63OrktEkMEpsX0kjyECApobJ7OhQyJtIdQfoY8MdU8Qq3AMu2Qz73wsZIuVr_nvsKUbRbKTmqi6y23F8V1jAN-hgP78eD1qAq7MCYKm4miOY1_lnOOjK_g1w-hV7VXYoA4BtWG74D2U/w480-h640/083.JPG" title="healthy breakfast for hashimoto's" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div><b>2) Familiarize Yourself with Foods to Eliminate that Cause Inflammation </b><b>to Manage Hashimoto's</b></div><div>When managing Hashimoto's, there are certain foods that should be avoided to help minimize symptoms and maintain optimal thyroid function. These foods can worsen inflammation, disrupt hormonal balance, and potentially trigger autoimmune responses. </div><div><ol><li>Gluten & Grains (including corn): The protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and other grains can trigger autoimmune responses and increase inflammation. Many people with Hashimoto's find relief by adopting a gluten-free diet.</li><li>Dairy & Eggs: Some individuals with Hashimoto's have reported sensitivity to dairy products and eggs, which can worsen inflammation and contribute to digestive issues. </li><li>Legumes (including all soy)</li><li>Seeds and nuts (including oils and flours)</li><li>Nightshades (including red spices): Nightshades are tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and potatoes.</li><li>Caffeine and Alcohol-Caffeine and alcohol exacerbate symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, and sleep disturbances. </li><li>Sugars, Food Additives, and Processed Foods: These foods are often high in unhealthy fats, refined sugars, and preservatives. They can contribute to weight gain, inflammation, and hormone imbalances. </li></ol></div><div><b>3) Learn what Foods are Good for your Overall Health and Hashimoto's</b></div><div><div>Ensuring that your diet is rich in essential nutrients is crucial for managing Hashimoto's and supporting your body's healing process.

All of my flours and most of my meat have to be sourced online because it isn't available at the stores in my area.</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>5) Initially </b><b>Keep Changes Simple</b></div><div>Making dietary changes can be overwhelming. Since it is important to go all in with AIP in order to heal your body, beginning with simple whole foods is key. Plan your meals and snacks ahead of time to ensure you have nourishing options readily available. This can help prevent impulsive food choices and ensure you're getting a well-balanced diet. Sheet pan meals using poultry, seafood, meat or pork and a variety of vegetables, simply seasoned with sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley or meatballs with only ground meat or poultry and a few seasonings are good for dinners. Salads with canned tuna or salmon and lots of fruits and vegetables make a wonderful option for lunch. Smoothies with protein powder and collagen or squash porridges make excellent breakfasts. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigZxASGGkrs4JtCv22_zYgLrX8ofrHQ-J2xDTTU53bcVdo3cpFWwFwbSmzY4CK2BR1rSnTBCG7O5RB6t4vDrQlnZaPoWZEJ-3ggISzGHYLUtFKoc5gOwWLsHcG-S0noih-BpQmE5adfCb5ptn8kuWo9IBNIbFjxNJ-iOIFSdydHC7GBXENe8i_Hg_rMnLh/s640/193.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="kale salad, peaches, and meatball salad" border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigZxASGGkrs4JtCv22_zYgLrX8ofrHQ-J2xDTTU53bcVdo3cpFWwFwbSmzY4CK2BR1rSnTBCG7O5RB6t4vDrQlnZaPoWZEJ-3ggISzGHYLUtFKoc5gOwWLsHcG-S0noih-BpQmE5adfCb5ptn8kuWo9IBNIbFjxNJ-iOIFSdydHC7GBXENe8i_Hg_rMnLh/w640-h480/193.JPG" title="healthy lunch idea for hashimoto's" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><b>6) Experiment with Recipes</b></div><div>Instead of using recipes that merely incorporate whole, unprocessed food and essential nutrients, look for recipes that are specifically AIP or anti-inflammatory friendly. There are a few thousand AIP recipes floating around out there, not all of them taste wonderful. Finding delicious recipes can take some time. We recommend checking out a few of the websites that have AIP recipes, find a couple from each site that look promising and try them. If they are successes for you, continue looking to that site for good trustworthy recipes. If those flop, try other websites. We have a handful of recipes on our <a href="https://www.littlehomeschoolblessings.com/p/autoimmune.html" target="_blank">autoimmune</a> page that you can test out. We have also had some success with the recipes from <a href="https://healmedelicious.com/" target="_blank">Heal me Delicious</a> and <a href="https://foodcourage.com/" target="_blank">Food Courage</a>. </div><div><div><br /></div><div><b>7) Seek Support</b> </div><div>Reach out to friends, family, or online communities that have experience with Hashimoto's or other autoimmune disorders is key. Connecting with others who have experience managing autoimmune disorders can provide valuable insight and motivation on your journey.

It has been quite the learning curve and there have been times that I've felt like I was completely starting over with learning how to cook. Which in many ways, I guess I am. Because there are so many new ingredients involved in switching to AIP cooking, learning how to use them to their fullest potential has a bit of a learning curve. However, this is good news for you, because I've got 4 tips for you to make the switch easier when learning what to eat with an autoimmune disease.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipuajYlYEvLLaXYBR_gpaoFooaXuP9gVeLTkVdx6qg-KaSJ62mJnBiPORecpLvmrp4icXvWsj7SCVJyg40CRIzA6Z2BtZJTPv2SLkGYqyoCaWqsihFZcuRzRFSPTTqMIsUDOukyT3z13PJ_SOZgOvepcS3k3v4fXnE1j1PDpH8XQNqZbfxbsjWxdMe0MKY/s1500/_Week%206%20AIP.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="bbq hamburger salad, cookie dough balls, hearty beef soup, fall harvest hash" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipuajYlYEvLLaXYBR_gpaoFooaXuP9gVeLTkVdx6qg-KaSJ62mJnBiPORecpLvmrp4icXvWsj7SCVJyg40CRIzA6Z2BtZJTPv2SLkGYqyoCaWqsihFZcuRzRFSPTTqMIsUDOukyT3z13PJ_SOZgOvepcS3k3v4fXnE1j1PDpH8XQNqZbfxbsjWxdMe0MKY/w426-h640/_Week%206%20AIP.png" title="what to eat with an autoimmune disease" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div>After 5 weeks on the AIP, I've got 4 tips for you if you are getting ready to start! </div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Don’t change your rhythm. If you are a batch cooker, keep batch cooking. If you are a spur of the moment cook, fly by the seat of your pants. Just don't try to change your rhythm. I tried to adjust my cooking scheduling initially and it felt all wrong and made it more difficult than necessary to adjust.</li><li>Look at your existing recipes and make easy changes. I've found more success enjoying meals by using recipes I have and making slight changes than trying a bunch of new recipes. Over the last 5 weeks, I've kept less than 1/3 of the recipes I've tried. Those aren't great odds. But by simply adapting my own recipes my success rate has gone up to 90%.</li><li>Check and double check ingredients. There is not much more frustrating than spending all of that money on AIP foods only to realize after you've ordered something online that it has things in it you can't have. Or even worse, that you bought something that you thought was safe to eat, ate it for weeks, and then realized you have been eating something causing inflammation!</li><li>Buy in small quantities initially. If AIP is introducing you to a completely new food, buy it in a small quantity to be sure you really like it. Don't get me started on the salmon bars or the sushi wraps or the seaweed. I'm going to have those in my pantry for many weeks to come and not know quite what to do with them because no one of the 6 of us cares for them!</li></ol></div><div>I hope sharing these lessons I've learned provides you with the support you need to get going with your own AIP journey!

To help make your transition from fall to winter easier, we've put together a list of 10 things that you need when you want to be warm, cozy and fashionable while transitioning from the fall season into the winter season!

Sweater Dresses</b></div><div>I'm not sure if there is anything more perfect for transitioning from fall to winter than a sweater dress. It is warm and snuggly on its own. You can wear it with or without tights depending on what the weather is like and you can pair it with lots of boot combinations. Closer to fall, shades of green, rust, and orange are perfect. Moving into winter, blues and purples are excellent transition colors. Or you could opt for a neutral like cream, tan, or black to move through the season effortlessly. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqs73HIZl0NK5ZBqd1g6_XctsP_rxKcON0j758uZhd2sZR3_z29xbYXqdPJ1BG2xAFbveXmywNydjm9KQdFoHHf1HS9tOsfsEqI2FCJ45rNv_Hgk37kNwd9wSnXRPUwensoLjGddG1MPmOSPK_8leBkbxFbVNYB8H7gOtnTtVzx9Mo-h6Y6L1_zq8mUrZq/s2418/032.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="woman in a teal sweater dress" border="0" data-original-height="2418" data-original-width="1900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqs73HIZl0NK5ZBqd1g6_XctsP_rxKcON0j758uZhd2sZR3_z29xbYXqdPJ1BG2xAFbveXmywNydjm9KQdFoHHf1HS9tOsfsEqI2FCJ45rNv_Hgk37kNwd9wSnXRPUwensoLjGddG1MPmOSPK_8leBkbxFbVNYB8H7gOtnTtVzx9Mo-h6Y6L1_zq8mUrZq/w502-h640/032.JPG" title="transition from fall to winter" width="502" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JLHVVTY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sweater dress</a> | <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00II0OZLE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tights</a> | <a href="https://www.amazon.com/DREAM-PAIRS-Womens-Chelsea-Booties/dp/B097SYS21S/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2GGOBZGC0NDT2&keywords=dream+pairs+chelsea+boots&qid=1700589385&sprefix=dream+paris+chelsea+boot%2Caps%2C364&sr=8-5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">chelsea boots</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>2.

The blazer kept her warm in the chilly conference room and was perfect for the professionalism of the occasion.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8eTGaTLFVfPFH1YA0_VIEqVwhpmhvfP83LR1XPlB_9jcMEKPBbxot18KZQmmuI6HhWs9HKvL07lGDPgb9KOkHXbA_-IgqMk8CgLGmEkFm0boIca72LCyV2M7r1_aTgV0UunXAqBNb61rfYx074ctZZEdwfK3ySfMYrm9X8qu5idJGraUu0NzyQ_tp28mS/s4032/011.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="young lady sitting in red chair in a gray suit" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8eTGaTLFVfPFH1YA0_VIEqVwhpmhvfP83LR1XPlB_9jcMEKPBbxot18KZQmmuI6HhWs9HKvL07lGDPgb9KOkHXbA_-IgqMk8CgLGmEkFm0boIca72LCyV2M7r1_aTgV0UunXAqBNb61rfYx074ctZZEdwfK3ySfMYrm9X8qu5idJGraUu0NzyQ_tp28mS/w480-h640/011.JPG" title="what to wear to stay warm and transition from fall to winter" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What essentials do you turn to when it is time for the seasons to change?

I have always had a healthy relationship with food. I cooked and baked at home and had built up a wonderful collection of recipes. With AIP, it felt like I had to throw them all away and start over. In some ways and with some of the recipes that is true; however, I've found with a little experimentation, I can come up with something I enjoy eating, safe for my autoimmune, and close to what I used to make. Some of my old recipes only take a small change to make them AIP. If you are new to AIP, I recommend starting there. Once you know what you can have and what you can't without causing inflammation, look at your old recipes and see what simple changes you can make. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNceP2JwGoJC8xs0uWGrlG-BBfEjIWoHB_1oTEXSv7CV18UqXF085MNcp2KBM-hc7k0ZVndqIrRufoX8JqnuNB9ZLonNkvNpMxqSef3UTEFiVrMPJVjih80xIkV8ak6UW0emROXSSq6nukREJ49qXF3C2A3lle3fNlvU6Pj86Xjf6J2khgvHwGAU8DIJB7/s1500/AIP%20Week%205.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="4 pictures of AIP meals: salsa, scramble, enchiladas, shepard's pie" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNceP2JwGoJC8xs0uWGrlG-BBfEjIWoHB_1oTEXSv7CV18UqXF085MNcp2KBM-hc7k0ZVndqIrRufoX8JqnuNB9ZLonNkvNpMxqSef3UTEFiVrMPJVjih80xIkV8ak6UW0emROXSSq6nukREJ49qXF3C2A3lle3fNlvU6Pj86Xjf6J2khgvHwGAU8DIJB7/w426-h640/AIP%20Week%205.jpg" title="what to eat on autoimmune protocol" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div>If you're curious about what my weeks look like, you can see below what I've eaten on week 5 on the autoimmune protocol diet.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Day 29</b></div><div><br /></div><div>How I am feeling: I woke up with a little bit of a pinch in my shoulder, but the lymph node behind my ear is less swollen.

I do have a few favorite sources for finding recipes that we enjoy (Heal Me Delicious is one of my favorites). And I’m finding that there are some things I just don’t like. I’m not big on plantains to make breads (the taste is just so overpowering). And I only use bananas is recipes that are supposed to be banana flavored. </div><div><br /></div><div>I’m gradually seeing a change in my symptoms. I have had a huge leap in my energy levels. I’m wondering if that is affecting my sleep? Some of the regular practices that I do to fall asleep (body scans and relaxation poses), I reserve for very restless nights. I’ve not needed them for some time, but I think with the coming of winter I need to make time for them.</div><div><br /></div><div>How have you been modifying your recipes to make them AIP friendly?

There are 2 cake layers with a cream layer sandwiched in the middle. The cream and cakes can be any flavor. If you've ever tried making them yourself, you know they are difficult little buggers to create. However, they are an absolute favorite of Ceesa's, which is wonderful since they are a gluten-free sweet that she can have without causing any upset stomach.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0oFcLAk_PXQjP8xPAE-uoUaHigat3AnPiFDOYUTjTTwmcnuH6qq7gB_pvOK5tTYrWktCadQetFZkkHRhwXPf7mMyPlBAdxGNAM-fB-jNDBqVsHEDIIXzM6VVS98BEIuKN52z1Gp1VSn9WObx1u5dUXcaZM9Axv4sIh6HZW26_r_cGI-AnNT_vemJARJkz/s1980/021.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="picture of a galaxy macaron on a silver plate" border="0" data-original-height="1535" data-original-width="1980" height="496" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0oFcLAk_PXQjP8xPAE-uoUaHigat3AnPiFDOYUTjTTwmcnuH6qq7gB_pvOK5tTYrWktCadQetFZkkHRhwXPf7mMyPlBAdxGNAM-fB-jNDBqVsHEDIIXzM6VVS98BEIuKN52z1Gp1VSn9WObx1u5dUXcaZM9Axv4sIh6HZW26_r_cGI-AnNT_vemJARJkz/w640-h496/021.JPG" title="The absolute best macarons around" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>What makes us experts?</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>Ceesa is a bit of a macaron connoisseur.

With each order you make, there is a special section on the order page for noting food allergies. In addition to wheat, Ceesa has other allergies that we have to avoid.

The flavors change monthly! Some of the special flavors for this month are caramel apple, apple pie, pecan pie, and coquito. You can pick out a box of all of one flavor or request a box with certain flavors, or even pick a "surprise me" box that includes an assortment! For the last year, we've ordered the assortment each time! Each "surprise me" box comes with an identification card, so you know what each flavor will be as you look through your assortment. While Ceesa says all of the flavors are wonderful, her favs have been pistachio, cheesecake, lemon pie, and cotton candy.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifJdkAuy4w4jvISuoTFKsnHEhRtPxT1GctHHNrbfVYtYM3SrrH2cQKq6D6RAkfAhRGlTEi58VlbbadXwELb5efh5CWLn_UugnMARjSPAHEy9YP-Hf4MJzk-25FUgdlEIR6fga60ZahtyDbj1CLuJIpSuKNmM67Rh-uGzdEddBp6ZyDRJu8bxLx8O4-kg8W/s2933/017.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="card with macaron pictures and flavors" border="0" data-original-height="2459" data-original-width="2933" height="536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifJdkAuy4w4jvISuoTFKsnHEhRtPxT1GctHHNrbfVYtYM3SrrH2cQKq6D6RAkfAhRGlTEi58VlbbadXwELb5efh5CWLn_UugnMARjSPAHEy9YP-Hf4MJzk-25FUgdlEIR6fga60ZahtyDbj1CLuJIpSuKNmM67Rh-uGzdEddBp6ZyDRJu8bxLx8O4-kg8W/w640-h536/017.JPG" title="Izzy macarons review" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Izzy has lots of cute shapes and custom printed designs for her macarons, too.

The thing I’ve been thinking about lately is the lack of information in traditional medical practices about how to use your diet to improve your health. Before finding out I had an autoimmune disorder, I ate the recommended healthy diet. When I was diagnosed, I wasn’t provided with any guidance about what foods lead to autoimmune nor was I given any information about the problems associated with the condition. It wasn’t until I was diagnosed pre-diabetic and I asked specifically what I should eat that I was told to eat a different diet. The doctor said the Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest. Although, when I researched that diet, I found that it wasn’t actually recommended for pre-diabetics and had to search out the T2 restrictions on my own. If it wasn’t for my own willingness to seek out more information, I would never have heard of AIP. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo1wRuI13S5F0gZD6t9j0Jd6ZKM8ToFT1JUQALwMKbaTQQrOBWAylGyqnwqcanqhpxlw1O37ZqVXjc4tPDo0lBLPP6XqL3SwVc4p1QvuAsbkayf3s4zO1n2eQEY6nb0-et9WcN1CwttKTOX3r3Rx6N5hxN14hXdqYMkS1uvf36NxKv_ppGY8p_HcUm9mB3/s1500/Week%204%20AIP.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="smoothie, snack mix, dinner plate, and soup" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo1wRuI13S5F0gZD6t9j0Jd6ZKM8ToFT1JUQALwMKbaTQQrOBWAylGyqnwqcanqhpxlw1O37ZqVXjc4tPDo0lBLPP6XqL3SwVc4p1QvuAsbkayf3s4zO1n2eQEY6nb0-et9WcN1CwttKTOX3r3Rx6N5hxN14hXdqYMkS1uvf36NxKv_ppGY8p_HcUm9mB3/w426-h640/Week%204%20AIP.jpg" title="What to eat on the autoimmune protocol" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>If you’ve had to eliminate foods because of health concerns, you know it is a really difficult process to drastically change what you eat. I’ve done it twice now in the last several months, first changing to T2 to support my blood sugar and then leaping into AIP believing my blood sugar issues are related to the autoimmune condition. It took about 3 months to start building recipes and to become comfortable with how to adjust recipes to be acceptable to my palate after starting the T2 diet for prediabetes. Starting all over with AIP has been disheartening at times.</div><div><br /></div><div>There is also a lot of contradicting information floating around out there about what is AIP friendly and what isn’t. One expert says pepper, nutmeg and cumin are okay. Another says vanilla extract and cooking wine are okay as long as the alcohol is cooked off. Another expert says, they are all off limits during the elimination phase of AIP. It isn’t too hard to just skip those ingredients when you are eliminating so many other things, but searching out recipes becomes even more difficult. It can be frustrating to find a recipe that says it is AIP, only to look through the ingredients and have to omit several things to make it AIP. If a recipe calls for pepper or cumin, leaving it out can be a big difference in taste. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Day 22</b></div><div><br /></div><div>How I am feeling: I wasn't feeling too bad when I got up, pretty decent.

However, THIS sweet and savory BBQ sauce uses only ingredients that are on the "Yes!" list for those of us autoimmune suffers. However, have no fear about the taste. These BBQ ribs are amazing.

Switching to an autoimmune diet can seems like an impossible task and one that is hard to stick with for the long term. I completely understand! I'm a foodie and food has always been something that has brought me joy. I really enjoy eating. When I first heard about the AIP (Autoimmune Protocol), I thought there is no way I can do that. I love food too much! But as the inflammation in my body got worse and the autoimmune flairs set in, I decided it would be worth the work to feel better. In an effort to support you in your search for improvement with your autoimmune, I have some practical tips and I share what I ate for week 3 on the autoimmune protocol diet. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwtdGIowBm56GkC4jQWzWBqXD3FV-Z58mp8wH_2LMcuFkvtJh3_8k2nHxq0VF_kcqyIHgN2_cv0Cr_CaEXi7wUc7xf3Wus7FUBGeEl76mk1ZvXaL8ZA4Hm07eIRSWmm8n5US7kbZnr0me0zI-EuI2BZd4Php6qyBkf3Xx8DnqHeE3pkFevZKCJufwtF1hv/s1500/Week%203%20AIP.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Autoimmune Protocol picture of meals" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwtdGIowBm56GkC4jQWzWBqXD3FV-Z58mp8wH_2LMcuFkvtJh3_8k2nHxq0VF_kcqyIHgN2_cv0Cr_CaEXi7wUc7xf3Wus7FUBGeEl76mk1ZvXaL8ZA4Hm07eIRSWmm8n5US7kbZnr0me0zI-EuI2BZd4Php6qyBkf3Xx8DnqHeE3pkFevZKCJufwtF1hv/w426-h640/Week%203%20AIP.jpg" title="What I ate on Autoimmune protocol elimination phase" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Practical Tip for Changing your Diet with AIP</b></div><div>One of the things that I’ve done as the kids have gotten older was to create a rhythm in meal planning. We eat different foods in different seasons. Late fall through early spring we eat soups and stews and hearty roasts and Mexican and Italian dishes. In spring and summer, we have more salads, sandwiches, and outdoor meals. </div><div><br /></div><div>Breakfast was as easy as possible, and I rotated the same things every week. The meals required little to no prep and were ready within 10 minutes on most days. We had oatmeal Mondays, oat bran with raisins Tuesdays, cream of wheat with cranberries and walnuts Wednesdays, malt-o-meal with cocoa powder and raspberries Thursdays, and a bakery style or hearty homemade breakfast Friday. Poppa made pancakes or waffles on Saturday, and we had a quick, cold cereal breakfast on Sunday. The kids are still on this cycle, while my breakfasts have been more erratic the last couple of weeks. </div><div><br /></div><div>Weekday lunch was easy too and we had a similar lunch cycle. Eggs, peanut butter and jelly, leftovers, cheese and crackers, with a smattering of appetizer style lunches thrown in to round out the week. This gave me something to fall back on, but it also allowed me to throw something different into the mix whenever I wanted.</div><div><br /></div><div>One of the things that I’ve found difficult with switching over to AIP for my autoimmune disease is that I'm constant switching from one complicated meal to another. There is no rhythm to the meals and no reliable flow. When I initially decided to go to the 30 day protocol, it felt chaotic. When I decided to ditch the 30 day protocol (<a href="https://littlehomeschoolblessings.blogspot.com/2023/10/week-1-trying-out-30-day-aip-protocol.html" target="_blank">It was only day 1. You can read about that here.</a>), I felt like I was somewhat back in control of the kitchen, but still there was no rhythm or flow to the plans. </div><div><br /></div><div>So, I decided to sit down and create a rotation of meals that will free me up from the constant feeling of wondering, “What am I making now?” This schedule will allow me to be more in sync with what our different daily schedule looks like. On the mornings I have to be out of the door quick, breakfast can be made ahead or will take very little time to put together. The rotation will also let me cook more in batches, so I’m only actively making a new breakfast about twice a week. Lunches are more inline with our busy homeschool schedule too!</div><div><br /></div><div>So breakfasts will be:</div><div>Monday Smoothie, granola parfaits, or juice and bone broth</div><div>Tuesday Porridge</div><div>Wednesday Sausage Hash</div><div>Thursday Muffins or bakery style breakfast with coconut milk & paleo protein powder</div><div>Friday Hearty breakfast</div><div>Saturday Pancakes or waffles</div><div>Sunday Cold Cereal with coconut milk & paleo protein powder </div><div><br /></div><div>Lunches:</div><div>Monday Salad</div><div>Tuesday Leftover soup</div><div>Wednesday Fish</div><div>Thursday Quick and Easy</div><div>Friday Leftovers</div><div>Saturday Something old made AIP</div><div>Sunday Something New</div><div><br /></div><div>Dinners:</div><div>Mondays Soup</div><div>Tuesday Seafood</div><div>Wednesday Type of roast</div><div>Thursday Something quick and easy</div><div>Friday Mexican, Italian, Chinese, or Thai</div><div>Saturday Something New</div><div>Sunday Old recipe made AIP</div><div><br /></div><div>While these aren’t have-to-make meals, it frees me up to think about other things. It also makes it so when I make say a batch of porridge or breakfast sausage. I can freeze the extra and have a quicker breakfast ready by just pulling what I need from the freezer. </div><div><br /></div><div>You may start to notice this happening with my meals toward the end of this third week. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>~Day 15~ </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>How I am feeling: </b>My stomach felt a little off about mid-morning, but I ate a bit more and it was okay.

It is an important vitamin for your body, but you may be wondering what causes an elevated B12 level. When I first began my journey to getting a diagnosis of Hashimoto's, an autoimmune condition where your body's immune system mistakes your thyroid gland for an intruder and attacks it, I had lots of blood work (so much blood work). My blood tests showed elevated B12, very elevated. I always get copies of my blood work, so I can track what is showing up (I recommend you keep tabs on yours, too!). At the doctor's appointment following my blood draw, the doctor didn't bring it up, so I asked what may be causing my B12 levels to be elevated. She merely shrugged. This seemed an invitation for me to conduct some of my own research. It seems there's a bit of a mystery in the medical community about the causes for elevated B12. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiptmNNGQcfkwOfoDozMo6bRB6-btUnDW0dALwPHxdLgN8DsYoSuVToRZ89vq6WWNu3g_KVq46vEC7ZV6bNULclQgRD3GhYlt38HzAKbwdK5DOg0lU7kLBM9OcTstlH1zfLXb0WvFcFFXoe1t0ckK5VWkjTdAcyocSp-oVWM5Hg5GoaCBeRiZOlp0Uj-ZrT/s1500/elevated%20b12%20in%20autoimmunity.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cow and the question wondering about elevated vitamin b12 in autoimmunity" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiptmNNGQcfkwOfoDozMo6bRB6-btUnDW0dALwPHxdLgN8DsYoSuVToRZ89vq6WWNu3g_KVq46vEC7ZV6bNULclQgRD3GhYlt38HzAKbwdK5DOg0lU7kLBM9OcTstlH1zfLXb0WvFcFFXoe1t0ckK5VWkjTdAcyocSp-oVWM5Hg5GoaCBeRiZOlp0Uj-ZrT/w426-h640/elevated%20b12%20in%20autoimmunity.jpg" title="Mystery of Elevated B12 in autoimmunity" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div>What my research has uncovered is broken down below, but the short answer is, "Yes, they can be connected!" Elevated B12 is correlated to autoimmunity. Your body's response to increased inflammation which can be caused by autoimmunity creates elevated B12. However, it is important to remember there can be other causes of elevated B12 levels. To delve in further, we'll discuss:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Autoimmune Diseases and B12</li><li>Understanding the link between B12 and your body</li><li>The Implications of High B12 Levels on Autoimmune Diseases</li><li>Unraveling Research and Case Studies on Elevated B12 and Autoimmunity</li><li>Signs and Symptoms of Elevated B12 Levels to Watch For</li><li>Managing High B12 Levels in the Context of Autoimmune Diseases</li><li>Future Directions and Research into B12 and Autoimmunity</li></ul></div><div><div><b>Autoimmune Diseases and B12</b></div><div>Autoimmune diseases are a complex and often misunderstood group of conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. These diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues in the body. While the causes of autoimmune diseases are still not fully understood, recent research has shown a potential link between high levels of vitamin B12 and autoimmune disorders. This has left many individuals having elevated B12 levels and autoimmune conditions puzzled and searching for answers. In this blog post, we will unravel the mystery of elevated B12 in autoimmunity and explore the potential implications for those living with these diseases.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Understanding the Link between Vitamin B12 and Your Body</b></div><div>Vitamin B12 is a crucial nutrient that plays a vital role in various bodily functions. It is involved in the production of red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and nerve function, among other things. Our bodies obtain vitamin B12 from the foods we eat, such as meat, fish, dairy products, and fortified cereals. </div><div><br /></div><div>So how does vitamin B12 relate to autoimmune diseases? Well, researchers believe that elevated B12 levels may be a result of the inflammation caused by autoimmune diseases rather than the cause itself. Inflammation can lead to an increase in certain proteins that bind to vitamin B12, resulting in higher levels in the bloodstream.</div><div><br /></div><div>Additionally, vitamin B12 supplementation is sometimes used as a treatment for certain autoimmune diseases, such as pernicious anemia. This raises questions about whether elevated B12 levels are a result of treatment or a symptom of the underlying condition.</div><div><br /></div><div>Understanding the link between vitamin B12 and autoimmune diseases is still an ongoing area of research. However, it is clear that there is a complex relationship between the two. In the following sections, we will explore the implications of high B12 levels on autoimmune diseases, delve into the latest research and case studies, discuss signs and symptoms to watch out for, and explore management strategies for those dealing with elevated B12 levels and autoimmune conditions.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>The Implications of High B12 Levels on Autoimmune Diseases</b></div><div>Elevated B12 levels can have various implications for individuals with autoimmune diseases. One of the key implications is the potential for misdiagnosis. Because high B12 levels are often associated with certain autoimmune conditions, healthcare professionals may overlook or dismiss other symptoms that could indicate a different underlying issue. This can lead to delayed or incorrect treatment, causing unnecessary complications for patients. </div><div><br /></div><div>Furthermore, elevated B12 levels can mask the true severity of autoimmune diseases. In some cases, individuals with high B12 levels may have milder symptoms or show improvement in their condition, leading to a false sense of security. This can prevent proper monitoring and intervention, allowing the disease to progress without proper management. This is something I experience firsthand. While the list of my autoimmune symptom is long, none of it seems so bad that I need treatment.</div><div><br /></div><div>Lastly, the implications of high B12 levels also extend to the potential side effects of vitamin B12 supplementation. While B12 supplementation may be beneficial for some autoimmune diseases, excessive levels can cause adverse reactions, such as nausea, headache, and dizziness. Therefore, it is crucial for individuals with autoimmune diseases and high B12 levels to work closely with healthcare professionals to monitor and adjust their B12 supplementation accordingly.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Unveiling Research and Case Studies on Elevated B12 and Autoimmunity</b></div><div>Research on the link between elevated B12 levels and autoimmune diseases is still a developing field. Scientists have conducted numerous studies and case reports to better understand this relationship. Some studies have suggested that high B12 levels may be a result of inflammation caused by autoimmune diseases. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and understand the underlying mechanisms.</div><div><br /></div><div>Case studies have also provided valuable insights. For example, researchers have documented cases where individuals with autoimmune diseases and high B12 levels showed improvements in their symptoms after receiving B12 supplementation. These findings suggest that B12 may have a beneficial role in managing certain autoimmune conditions. This makes me wonder if the reason that B12 is high is that the body is not processing it correctly when you suffer from autoimmunity. So additional B12 improves autoimmune diseases by giving your body enough to use it?</div><div><br /></div><div>On the other hand, other case reports have highlighted the potential risks and complications of excessive B12 supplementation. It is important to note that everyone's response to B12 levels can vary, and healthcare professionals should closely monitor B12 levels and adjust supplementation accordingly.</div><div>As research in this area continues to evolve, it is crucial for individuals with autoimmune diseases and elevated B12 levels to stay informed and work closely with their healthcare providers to ensure optimal management and treatment.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Signs and Symptoms of Elevated B12 Levels to Watch For</b></div><div>If you have elevated B12 levels and an autoimmune disease, it's important to be aware of the signs and symptoms to watch out for. While the exact symptoms may vary depending on the individual and the specific autoimmune condition, there are a few common signs that may indicate high B12 levels.</div><div><br /></div><div>One of the most noticeable symptoms is fatigue. You may feel tired and lacking in energy, even with sufficient rest. Another symptom is frequent headaches, which can be persistent and intense. Some individuals may also experience dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing up quickly.</div><div><br /></div><div>Digestive issues can also be a sign of elevated B12 levels. You may notice changes in your bowel movements, such as diarrhea or constipation. Additionally, you may experience nausea or a decreased appetite.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrB3dIIFNHtv1LDuVt5Gyb1sZeJngiLhq3sUYbMqV17xsias0lQf6k8WhN0921rhbJupZ_rdk7gYid8JhSf-_WCYWurwMcTitywypSNOYtE0XFYpYFpPKZrks1wPwR5oVmD0052eN_lwdEWm7W6EcAXKEdb0x1QXtKgwRtSnU5lXq8Xmai4Fm1p_buoTyP/s920/elevated%20b12%20in%20autoimmunity%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="pill bottle for B12" border="0" data-original-height="920" data-original-width="571" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrB3dIIFNHtv1LDuVt5Gyb1sZeJngiLhq3sUYbMqV17xsias0lQf6k8WhN0921rhbJupZ_rdk7gYid8JhSf-_WCYWurwMcTitywypSNOYtE0XFYpYFpPKZrks1wPwR5oVmD0052eN_lwdEWm7W6EcAXKEdb0x1QXtKgwRtSnU5lXq8Xmai4Fm1p_buoTyP/w398-h640/elevated%20b12%20in%20autoimmunity%20(2).jpg" title="Elevated b 12 in autoimmunity" width="398" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Managing High B12 Levels in the Context of Autoimmune Diseases</b></div><div>Managing high B12 levels in the context of autoimmune diseases can be a complex task. Here are some strategies that may be helpful for managing your elevated B12 levels effectively.:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. Regular monitoring through blood tests: Regular blood tests should be done to monitor your B12 levels and ensure they are within a healthy range. This will help your healthcare provider determine if any adjustments to your B12 supplementation are needed.</div><div>2. Individualized supplementation: Your healthcare team will assess your specific needs and recommend the appropriate dosage of B12 supplementation. It is crucial to follow their guidance and avoid self-medicating with excessive amounts of B12.</div><div>3. Dietary modifications: In some cases, dietary modifications may be necessary to manage high B12 levels. Your healthcare provider may advise reducing or eliminating foods that are high in B12 from your diet, such as red meat and dairy products. This is where the AIP diet comes into play!</div><div>4. Symptom management: If you experience symptoms related to high B12 levels, such as fatigue or headaches, your healthcare team can provide strategies to manage these symptoms. This may include lifestyle changes, medications, or other interventions tailored to your individual needs.</div><div><br /></div><div>Remember, managing high B12 levels is an ongoing process that requires collaboration with your healthcare team. By staying informed, following their recommendations, and staying proactive in your care, you can effectively manage elevated B12 levels in the context of autoimmune diseases.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Future Directions and Research into B12 and Autoimmunity</b></div><div>As the understanding of autoimmune diseases and the relationship with elevated B12 levels continues to evolve, researchers are exploring future directions for further research. One area of interest is determining the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the association between high B12 levels and autoimmune conditions. By gaining a deeper understanding of these mechanisms, scientists hope to unravel the mystery and potentially develop more targeted treatments.</div><div><br /></div><div>Another avenue of research involves studying the impact of different B12 supplementation strategies on autoimmune diseases. Scientists are investigating whether certain forms of B12 supplementation, such as oral or injectable, may have varying effects on autoimmune conditions. This research could lead to more personalized treatment plans for individuals with elevated B12 levels and autoimmune diseases.</div><div><br /></div><div>Additionally, researchers are working to identify specific biomarkers or genetic factors that may indicate a predisposition to elevated B12 levels and autoimmune diseases. By identifying these markers, healthcare professionals may be able to detect and monitor the risk of developing autoimmune conditions in individuals with high B12 levels more effectively.</div><div><br /></div><div>Overall, the future of research into B12 and autoimmunity holds promise for unraveling the complexities of these conditions and improving management strategies. With ongoing research, those of us with autoimmune diseases and elevated B12 levels may get more answers and symptom relief.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><i>Disclaimer: The purpose of this post is not to offer medical advice.
