The elimination diet is intended primarily for individuals, who develop symptoms of food allergies or intolerances!and should be used after the first symptoms appear. Following the rules of an elimination diet may lead to complete disappearance of disease symptoms.
The elimination diet, in addition to desensitization, is the basic method of treating food allergy. Excluding allergens from the diet is the only form of causal treatment.
The basic type of elimination diet is to completely exclude one or more potentially harmful ingredients for a period of about two weeks. Products, suspected of causing an allergic reaction, are turned off one at a time, to see if your allergy symptoms go away. The absence of symptoms of an allergic reaction confirms the fact, that the eliminated ingredient is a sensitizing element. This is tantamount to the need to completely remove the nutrient from the diet.
The goal of the diet is to reduce the adverse reaction of the immune system to a given nutrient. Among the most common allergenic products are: cow milk, haha, fishes, shellfish, molluscs, peanuts, military, wheat.
An elimination diet consists in the permanent or periodic exclusion of poorly tolerated ingredients or food products from the menu. Simultaneously, due to the need for balanced nutrition, substitute ingredients are introduced in their place. To prevent nutrient deficiencies, substitutes with equivalent nutritional and caloric values should be used, np. in a dairy-free diet, attention should be paid to the calcium content and the calcium-phosphate ratio in substitution preparations.
I don't really agree with that, to eliminate too many foods from your diet. I would definitely be for giving up sugar, mostly sweets, but all the rest is needed for the proper functioning of our body and how to consume these foods in a reasonable amount, that shouldn't be a problem.
elimination diet – good work
