Food sensitivities and allergies
So often the symptoms associated with allergies fail to respond to conventional medical therapy and will resolve by following an Elimination Diet.
The Elimination diet involves strictly eliminating common trigger foods like dairy, gluten, sugar, and eggs for a period of time. Followed by slow reintroduction to test your response to each food group.
After the initial period of eliminating foods, many chronic symptoms should improve or disappear.
The diet is strictly followed for 21 days to allow the immune system to recover and clean up immune complexes. These foods might have been building over years and years of eating foods your body sees as a ” stranger”.
The reintroduction and testing period of foods is done one by one for 3 days at a time.
When the burden on the immune system is decreased, the body has an opportunity to heal. Along the way, it is important to learn how to eat an enjoyable and nutrient-dense diet while starting on the road to optimum health.
Different conditions also respond to different foods to eliminate. Find out what is best for you how to follow an elimination diet.
