Step 4 Elimination Diet
Elimination Diet - Step 4.
Step 4 – Long term approach
Armed with the knowledge of what foods trigger your
symptoms, you and your doctor can develop a long-term diet which will
improve your condition significantly. Of the forbidden foods, after the
challenging period, you know which ones are safe to add to your regular
diet and what foods are likely to be contributing to your food
sensitivities. Sometimes, it may be difficult to link your condition to a
particular food, and some people may need to attempt eliminating
several different foods before identifying the culprit for their
symptoms.
The
most important aspect when deciding a long-term diet is to ensure that
you get a fully balanced nutrition. This may require substituting foods
that you have some aversion to with others that are safe, to provide you
with the same nutrients. For example, if you find that you feel better
by eliminating dairy, you need to find other sources of calcium, such as
dark green vegetables.
Another aspect to ensure a balanced diet is to rotate
the foods you eat. It’s a well-known fact that consuming the same type
of foods on a regular basis can result in the development of allergies
and sensitivities. It’s therefore extremely important to eat a diverse
diet, to avoid the appearance of any further allergies.
