Elimination Diet- Reintroduction Period

Hi, I've been on an elimination diet for the past 2 weeks to determine any other food intolerances/allergies. Everything has been going very well, and I'm about ready to enter into the re-introduction phase. I just have a quick question, I know I'm supposed to add a new food every three days, and wait three days to see if I have a reaction. I am just a little unsure of how many times a day I'm supposed to have the new food. I vaguely recall that I'm supposed to have the new food three times in a day, is that correct? Any answers would help so much! Thanks!

You want to eat each new item in a pure form and have it 3 times a day for a week. If you haven't had any reaction after a week that food is safe for you. If you react before the week is up of course you would stop the challenge with that food, drop it and then after the symptoms resolve go on to the next new food.

Thanks, another question... does "D" on one of the reintroduction days count as a reaction?

ANY changes are important to note. And I really mean ANY - digestive or not.

What you could do is, eat it once; wait 5 hours, if you don't have a reaction, eat more.

What do you eat for the first 2 weeks? I'm thinking about trying this.

Hi Ravenwood,

I hope you are doing well!

I hope you receive this message......I was reading an old post from a few years back where you discussed your elimination diet (turkey, sweet potato, rice, and cranberry juice). I am super sensitive and suffer from myoclonus if I ingest gluten or use cosmetic products containing gluten. I have been truly gluten-free for approx five months and I still cannot rid myself of the myoclonus. Some nights are better than others but it is runing my life (severe sleep deprivation). Sorry for rambling....Since I keep running into possible hidden gluten sources, I have decided to start an ELIMINATION DIET (as you did). My dietician ran an organic acids test on me and we know that I am deficient in several of the B vitamins (not B12 though). My test also revealed an exposure to Xylene (a toxic chemical found in gasoline, paint, household cleaning products, plastics, upholstery, mattresses, carpeting, etc.). My dietician started me on the Metagenics Ultraclear medical food approx. a month ago. Here are my questions for you...........1.Are you Super Sensitive to trace gluten and cross contamination. 2. Are there any vitamin brands (i.e. Country Life) that you found that you can use safely (with no reactions). 3. What brand of Turkey did you eat safely (gluten-free, soy free, dairy free, corn free). I have yet to find a turkey product that did not contain preservatives or possible trace gluten. Can you eat any of the commercially made chicken broths without having a reaction? I would like to start this diet asap but finding safe turkey is a challenge for me. I suspect that I may not be able to tolerate must gluten-free grains.. but I hope I am wrong. My only other "suspects" for possible CC are my C.Life vitamins (I have several bottles) or the Metagenics Ultraclear.

Thank you for your support and ideas to help me get to the bottom of this major frustration.

Warmest Regards,

SylviaAnn

      I'm not saying this is what you have, but your description reminds me of Morgellons, which are not very well understood. Here is a review from a reputable source.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply. I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting...

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.

This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting. I don't think that touching or throwing bread around would lead to you ingesting enough to cause a reaction. There are case reports of farmers with coeliac disease reacting to the dust from gluten-containing animal feed but they were inhaling large amounts of dust over a long period of time in barns. Perhaps you episodes are caused by a reaction to something other than gluten? Have you had your antibody levels checked to see whether you are still being exposed to gluten?
