The Elimination Diet:
The main goal of the elimination diet is to identify possible food sensitivities that may interfere with your health. For two weeks, gluten, soy, dairy, eggs and yeast will be removed from the diet. Reintroducing them will allow you to know if you are suffering from any food intolerance. During the elimination phase, you will also stop eating all the foods that cause inflammation in the body. This process will give a break to the digestive system and allow the cells to heal. A Food sensitivity test will allow you to identify specifically which food items make you sick. You can test up to 222 foods in a one-time blood test.
There are 2 phases in the diet: the elimination phase and the reintroduction phase. As their names implied, the elimination phase consists of temporarily removing certain foods. While in the latter phase, the reintroduction of a food group will allow for the identification of any hypersensitivity one may have.
The elimination diet is indicated for conditions such as:
