Start reintroducing foods that you eliminated

After the elimination phase, you will gradually reintroduce food one food at a time, in small amounts, to identify potential trigger foods. You are reintroducing the foods that you removed in the elimination phase. You still eat as you were during the elimination diet, whole foods dietary approach, you are now just including 1 new food from the eliminated list. This will take a few weeks to complete.

On the day you try an eliminated food for the first time, start with just a small amount in the morning. If you don’t notice any symptoms that day, eat two larger portions the next day. After reintroducing the new food for these 2 days, remove it from the diet again, and wait for three days to see if you notice any symptoms returning such as bloating, headaches, rash, or changes in bowel function.

It’s important to use a food diary during the reintroduction phase, to help you track your symptoms and identify your trigger foods. Keep a record of any symptoms that occur after reintroducing the food, including the time and severity of the symptoms. If you experience severe symptoms, such as anaphylaxis, seek medical attention immediately.

Repeat with other foods. Repeat the process with other foods until all potential trigger foods have been reintroduced.
