Does anyone have experience with an Elimination Diet for allergies?

The basic plan is as follows:

Allowed:

Lamb

broiled or baked potatoes or sweet potatoes

rice or millet

cooked green and yellow squash

pears and diluted pear juice.

rice-based beverage drink in place of milk on cereal or in cooking

I did the basic elimination diet for my migraines.

Eliminate the following foods from the diet for a period of 7 days to a month:

Dairy products, including cheese. (Instead, use soy milk and soy cheese; rice milk, rice-based ice cream.)
Egg and egg-containing products.
Food products containing gluten, such as wheat and wheat-based products (including pasta), and barley, oat or rye grains. (Alternative grains could be brown rice, buckwheat, spelt, millet, potatoes or sweet potatoes).
Citrus fruits.
Corn and corn-containing products.
All processed foods, including caffeine.

Next, reintroduce one food group to your diet roughly every 5 days

The reintroduction period allows sufficient time to determine any intolerances.

I did not find anything I reacted to.

Boy yours is tough. How long do you have to stay on it?

 
Hi Julie,

The induction is 10-14 days for the body to clear, then similar to what you did, the foods introduced individually every 4-5 days.

I am doing this because I am breastfeeding and my daughter is sensitive to one or more things I am eating or drinking, and eliminating the likely suspects hasn't brought any relief.

Did you eventually find relief from your migraines?

 
Lisa, I wish I could report the diet helped with my migraines, but it did not. Migraines aren't

always brought on by food. Was worth a try! I am sure the diet will be more successful with breastfeeding. I wish you and your baby luck with it.
