Is there an AIP version of keto for arthritis?

AngInCanada

Ive followed an Auto Immune Protecol of the paleo diet in the past with good results in terms of reduction of arthritic pain but didn't lose weight on it. I lose weight on the keto diet and some of my joint pain goes away but not entirely. I'm wondering if there's an Auto Immune Keto diet or if there are certain things I should eliminate further. Does anyone find that a certain food aggrivates joint pain?

Thanks

Seems like it would be relatively easy to stay in ketosis with these AIP guidelines:

NOT ALLOWED:

Nuts (including nut oils like walnut and sesame seed oils)
Seeds (including flax, chia, pumpkin, sunflower, sesame and culinary herb seeds like cumin and coriander)
Beans/Legumes (this includes all beans like kidney, pinto, black as well as Soy in all its forms)
Grains (Corn, Wheat, Millet, Buckwheat, Rice, Sorghum, Amaranth, Rye, Spelt, Teff, Kamut, Oats etc)
Alternative sweeteners like xylitol, stevia, mannitol
Dried fruits and/or over-consumption of fructose (I recommend up to 2 pieces of fruit a day)
Dairy Products
All Processed Foods
Alcohol
Chocolate
Eggs
Gums  (guar gum, Tara gum, Gellan gum, Gum Arabic)
Nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant, paprika, mustard seeds, all chili's including spices)
No vegetable oils (NOTE: olive oil, lard, palm oil, cultured grass fed ghee and coconut oils are permitted)
Culinary herbs from seeds (mustard, cumin, coriander, fennel, cardamom, fenugreek, caraway, nutmeg, dill seed)
Tapicoa. I eliminate this the first 6-8 weeks because it is a known gluten cross reactor according to Cyrex Labs Gluten Cross-Reactivity Test


ALLOWED:

Vegetables (except nightshades)
Fruits (limit to 15-20 grams fructose/day)
Coconut products including coconut oil, manna, creamed coconut, coconut aminos, canned coconut milk (with no additives like guar gum and carageen or bpa lined cans) shredded coconut (this list does not include coconut sugar and nectar)

Fermented Foods (coconut yogurt, kombucha, water and coconut kefir, fermented vegetables)
Bone Broth
Grass Fed Meats, Poultry and Seafood
Non-Seed Herbal Teas
Green Tea
Vinegars: Apple Cider Vinegar, Coconut vinegar, red wine vinegar, balsamic (that has no added sugar)
Sweeteners: occasional and sparse use of honey and maple syrup (1 tsp/day)
Herbs: all fresh and non-seed herbs are allowed (basil tarragon, thyme, mint, oregano, rosemary, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, savory, edible flowers)
Binders: Grass Fed Gelatin and Arrowroot Starch (watch the starch however if you have adrenal issues)

If you're looking into AIP keto, I'd highly recommend reading Dr. Terry Wahls' book.

Peppers are what I normally hear about aggravating arthritis.

My joint pain goes away just when I stick to low carb, but I'm not exactly the best at sticking to low carb.

Ya, I'm practically AIP keto already except for eggs, pepper, & mustard. I think going AIP from a keto perspective would be a lot easier than from a SAD perspective.
