Elimination Diet

An elimination diet is used to determine what food of foods are causing allergy symptoms or other undesirable effects.

The basics behind an elimination diet is that you remove any suspect food from your diet for a period of time - long enough for the food protein to clear from your bloodstream. Then reintroduce foods one by one, with a delay between each food of several days. This allows you to correlate a specific food with specific sets of symptoms.
