THE FOOD ELIMINATION DIET

 

 

 

 

Think food allergy and you might conjure the worst-case scenario, like a child going into anaphylactic shock after exposure to peanuts. No doubt, a severe food allergy is scary. But it’s also relatively rare. A much more common scenario is an adult with a low-grade food allergy to, say, gluten who never pinpoints the cause of his misery.

His symptoms are vague (bloating, constipation, weight gain) and his exposure is frequent (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), so the connection is murky. And, over years, the hidden allergy takes a toll on the immune system. The result of an overworked immune system is everything from weight gain to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to arthritis.

 

 

Mary will help you devise a personal diet to eliminate all possible irritants that may be causing you inflamation.  These may include personal items and supplements as well as food groups.  In addition, she will advise you as to which allergens are likely to have cross-reactions, and what you may want to avoid for your elimination to be the most successful.
