A step-by-step guide to successfully tracking your food reintroductions
Before using this tracker, ensure you've completed at least 30-60 days of strict AIP elimination to allow your body to heal.
Tip: Work with a healthcare provider to determine when you're ready to start reintroductions.
Click 'Add Reintroduction' on the dashboard. Choose a food from Stage 1 (like egg yolks) and set your start date.
Tip: Start with foods least likely to cause reactions. Follow the suggested reintroduction order in the Food Reference guide.
Eat a small portion of the food and monitor for symptoms over the next 3-7 days. Increase portion sizes gradually if no reactions occur.
Tip: Only test ONE food at a time to accurately identify any reactions.
From your reintroduction detail page, click 'Log Symptom' whenever you experience any reactions. Record the type, severity, and timing.
Tip: Be thorough - even mild symptoms are worth noting. Some reactions can be delayed by up to 72 hours.
After 3-7 days, check your symptom charts and determine the outcome. Mark the trial as 'Tolerated', 'Partial Reaction', or 'Not Tolerated'.
Tip: Use the severity chart and frequency data to spot patterns. If unclear, wait another few days before deciding.
Mark the reintroduction as complete and decide your next steps. If tolerated, you can usually add that food back to your diet.
Tip: Wait 3-7 days between each food trial. Take breaks if you're experiencing reactions to allow your body to reset.
