Elimination Diet Phase Out?

Hi All:

Several months ago, I went on the elimination diet, and felt wonderful. While I think it did

By introducing one food at a time at three or four day intervals. That way you are more able to pinpoint reactions and avoid getting food reactions confused by delayed responses.

You mention both allergies and intolerances. They are not the same. Allergies cause a histamine response of some kind (and therefore respond to antihistamines) whereas intolerances don't. The reaction from those will normally be a specific physical or mental response. You haven't specified what kind of responses you get.

You will likely feel better on the elimination diet because you have removed the foods that are triggering responses - probably not from you yourself, but quite possibly I think from certain bacteria in your gut - Candida maybe.

You might be better off following a Candida Diet for a while - elimination diets are good for figuring out which foods you (or the bugs) react to, but it doesn't solve the issues that are causing the reactions.
