PREPARING FOR THE ELIMINAYION DIET: REINTRODUCTION PHASE
Reintroduce one item each week, for example:
week 1 – food containing additives
week 2 – tea
week 3 – coffee
week 4 – beer
week 5 – white wine
week 7 – spirits
week 8 – chocolate Take some of the test food or drink every day, starting with a small amount and continuing for a week. If there is a reaction, then stop immediately. Wait until you are better, then go on to the next item. If there is no reaction then give it up again after a week, and test the next item. At the end of the testing period, you can reintroduce all the things that produced no reaction.
If you react to food containing additives, then leave these out again for a while, while you test other items. Then test them again individually – see pp305-6 for details of the different groups of additives. If you react to one member of a group, you may well react to others in that group too.
Try to continue your good eating habits after the diet is finished – don’t go back to eating a lot of salt and sugar, or drinking huge quantities of tea, coffee or alcohol (even if these didn’t cause any specific symptoms). Keep eating fresh foods, particularly green vegetables, and stay away from junk food.
Once you have established which items cause your symptoms, you will probably need to avoid these entirely for some considerable time, although you might be able to consume a small amount occasionally. Try them out from time to time, to see whether your reaction has abated.
