The Power of An Elimination Diet: Benefits and Best Plan

Could an elimination diet help you alleviate uncomfortable symptoms like bloating, gas or stomach pain?  If you have these symptoms, dietary intervention may be worth considering.

An elimination diet is a diagnostic method that removes certain foods and ingredients from the diet over a set period.

The process has two parts: 1. Elimination phase: remove food and record observations. 2. Reintroduction phase: review and test individual foods.

The goal is to create a clear view of a person’s relationship between specific foods and their health. An effective elimination diet seeks to uncover potential food intolerances or sensitivities affecting digestion and overall well-being.

Elimination diets are very customizable and vary in their range of restrictions. The beauty is that the diet serves the individual specifically.

Some of the most popular types are:  - Specific food elimination - Comprehensive elimination - Gluten-free diet - Autoimmune protocol - Keto diet - And more

The elimination phase may last two to three weeks or four to six weeks, depending on the protocol. The protocol also sets the tone for how quickly and thoroughly foods are eliminated.

Your protocol will have specific guidelines on when and how to reintroduce foods properly. Proceed attentively to maximize your efforts.
