What is an Elimination Diet?
An elimination diet involves removing specific foods from your diet to determine which ones may be causing adverse reactions. It's crucial to personalize this diet based on individual needs and monitor progress under the guidance of a healthcare professional experienced in food sensitivities.
Foods Avoided in This Elimination Diet Plan
This meal plan excludes common food triggers such as citrus fruits, dairy products, eggs, gluten (including wheat, barley, corn, spelt, rye, oats), soy, peanuts and tree nuts, shellfish, chickpeas, lentils, beans, nightshades (e.g., tomatoes, capsicum, eggplant), nitrates from processed meats, corn and corn products, preservatives, stabilizers, thickeners, colors, and flavors, refined sugar, and artificial sweeteners (e.g., aspartame).
The exclusion list is based on guidelines from reputable sources like the University of Wisconsin-Madison, School of Medicine and Public Health, and other scientific resources.
