150 Diet Wise
SUMMARY
If you do not progress while on the elimination diet it is logical to suspect
some of the foods you are still eating.
- Did you do the diet correctly in the first place? If not, follow it
again without lapses for a further seven days at least. - If you are then no better, eliminate the ‘allowed’ foods one at a
time for a period of not less than four clear days and test each
one on the fifth day, as given in Chapter 12. - Avoid any food which reacts. Once you start to feel better, also
test the original ‘banned’ foods. - Try periods of avoiding groups of foods, for example of going
meat-free, pulse-free and nut-and-pip-free. If there is any
improvement, test each food carefully. - If all else fails, consider trying a fast. Give yourself a rest and
prepare for it by eating plentifully and taking vitamin and mineral
supplements. - Make sure there are no other reasons for feeling unwell. Get
another check-up from your doctor, or a second opinion.
