Advanced Elimination Diet

An advanced elimination diet that combines food elimination with heal-
ing may be more appropriate for Hashimoto’s patients who have multiple
food intolerances and more gastrointestinal symptoms or who continue
to suffer symptoms after following a basic elimination diet.

I developed this diet after cutting out all tested food intolerances (includ-
ing gluten, dairy, and soy) for one year, only to begin experiencing bloat-
ing and new food intolerances (almonds, eggs, bananas).

It may be best to do the more extreme version of the elimination diet
rather than leaving things in and being sorry later.

The three-week elimination diet can be done by combining an elemental diet
with a healing phase, similar to the one recommended by the GAPS diet.
