Are you supplementing with selenium l-selenomethionine 200mcg daily, that can help, as can keeping TSH suppressed.

It also takes time, so as you are cutting out dairy and gluten, if you havent already gotten an allergy test (would recommend), be on the look out for other foods that can cause a reaction and eliminate those too as well for now.

The AIP isn't just about diet. Lifestyle moderations like getting enough sleep and stress management are also very powerful tools in reducing inflammation.

I know, but it is worth persevering with. No quick fix solutions unfortunately.
