Research Notes on Food Allergy Elimination Diet


A food allergy elimination diet is a method of seeing what foods a person shows allergies or intolerance for. It is used to see if the persons symptoms are food related. This is a trial and error diet to identify the problem foods.1

Fast Facts:

  • Foods that are known to cause allergies are milk, eggs, nuts, wheat and soy.2
  • When it is known what foods may be causing the allergy, remove that food for two weeks and than re-introduce it gradually.3
  • Should be preformed under a doctor's supervision.4
