AIP now or after W30? severe knee pain

[FrenchLace]

So here's the deal. (I am on day 4 of my W30.). I have severe knee pain to point where one or the other knee straight up gives out in sharp pain if I try to jog or do any type of cardio (on land). With any activity the knee pain gets worse and weaker. I am only 25, not overweight and have had this going on for 3-5 years. Early Spring 2011 I started taking a high quality glucosamine supplement called Glucosamine 7 (put out by Amway). I called it my miracle drug. I took a significant amount and then lowered dosage when I saw the improvement. 8 months after starting the supplement I completed my first 1/2 marathon (praise the Lord). Then I immediately got pregnant and had to stop taking the supplement. My perfect son was born July 2012. (no knee pain during pregnancy but I wasn't) I still cannot take the supplement since I breastfeed. Soon after he was born my knees went back to being as bad as they were before ever taking the Glucosamine. My hips then joined in on the party and are painful daily. I went to a holistic practitioner in August and he said I had leaky gut. So I have been gluten free since September. No improvement in joint pain. My daily bloating decreased but it is still bad. In January I went to the orthopedic surgeon for knee x-rays and blood work. My knees are still perfectly intact and I don't have RA, gout, or whatever else they tested for. This confirms in my mind that my joints are being attacked due to my leaky gut. I need advice on when to start AIP. Should I complete my W30 before adding AIP? Am I wasting time by waiting? I also know that I react to at least some of the FODMAPs. Should I just go ahead and do everything at once?

I say jump in! I decided to do so and I am on day 26. I have felt really in control and able to figure what exactly causes many of my health issues. I will be building up slowly to the regular whole30 on day 31.

I say do whichever you want. I didn't find out about the AIP until yesterday. I can give up nuts and nightshades pretty easily but eggs are going to be tough. So I am finishing my W30 and easing out some of the AIP foods as I go. When I finish this, I plan to do a WAIP30. That works for me. You do whatever works for you!
